Usualy in all honesty it is a shop that is just way to expensive for me but the clothes are gorgeous. I used this shop though to get my bridesmades out fits from, the choice in sizes was great cause the bridesmades ranged from very slim to a little on the larger size so it was hard to find anything within the high street shops. This shop though had some beautiful dresses that you wouldn't wear anywhere else then to a special occasion like a wedding. We found a beautiful deep purple tafeta dress in the sizes we needed and the staff were lovely and helpfull. The changing rooms had thick velvet drapes rahter then flimsy cotton curtains where everyone can see what you are doing. I brought the dresses for the girls, then they could keep them for if needed on a special occassion again. A very expensive shop but lovely outfits.

This is a great retail clothing outlet in Ipswich, there are plenty of great new and fashionable…read moreitems for sale within this shop. They sell everything from handbags to shoes and all kinds of clothes. They have a large changing room with plenty of cubicles. The display of shoes is really good rather then all on one shelf they are laid out at the back of the store in a square with plenty of seating. There bags are atractivly displayed on glass shelving so you can see what the bags look like all over. They always seem to have a sale on which is good as I feel there prices are really rather high. I know its good fashion but is still a little pricey in my opinion (but then I do normally shop in Primark).

Gorgeous and seemingly limited edition designs but at prices well below what I would expect to pay. It may be out of your way but this shop alone is worth the journey to Lavenham.

The Jewellery Workshop did an amazing job of pulling together a collection of jewellery that I no…read morelonger wore, or no longer fitted or suited me. I walked away with three beautiful rings that had previously been 14 separate items. I then went back with some scrap gold, a few small stones and an idea, and they worked that up into a fantastic, individual wedding band. It was a genuine pleasure to engage with such highly skilled crafts people. They are a huge cut above a standard retailing jewellers, especially if you're looking for something unique - they will interpret your ideas and make them beautiful. I will be going back for more projects in the future.

There are always plenty of mambers of staff to help and they always seem happy to do so. there is plenty of room to look and negotiate a buggy or wheelchair around.
