I visited on a Thursday (to check out my options for morning dress) for a Friday pickup and Sunday wedding. Normally a three day hire, they were flexible enough to let me walk out of there with it that same day. In addition, they were open for the bank holiday (to return the item), and despite a martini spill on the waistcoat, they gave me 100% deposit with no hassle. Most importantly, the fit was excellent. I was skeptical about the wide width of the pants (I'm used to a more modern cut of trousers), but they were correct, it did fit in with most attendees. The coat itself fit perfect, and did not appear tired or sloppy like other rentals. I also did a price compare, and Lipman was the least expensive option! But most importantly, I didn't look as though I'd rented anything!

No one in this shop was rude to me, but neither did they want to waste a "hello" on someone who so clearly wasn't going to purchase anything. Thanks, ladies. The clothing in stock was women's wear - formal dresses and professional attire...neither of which I'm in the market for. I did see some nice sweaters which were around the £70 range, and I'm sure I could have afforded some of the necklaces or scarves in the back if I wanted to.

I personally would only go in here if I was looking for clothes for work, however, they do stock lots of less formal items (albeit not quite to my taste).

I have a work blouse from here that I have washed to death but it still emerges looking pretty good ! Prices are a little bit on the high side, however, it is arguably reflected in the quality.

Menswear occupies the first floor and has a large range of both leisure and more formal wear. It seems constantly busy with young people (teens and students) and families. The clothes are certainly cheap, generally well designed, and not bad quality although - in menswear at least - expect polyester and other man-made fabrics rather than wool and cotton, so to that extent you get what you pay for. But for basics - T-shirts and the like - you can get several items for the price of a pint. They seem to have a huge range of fleeces and tracksuit-type clothing, There is some controversy about the conditions their suppliers' staff have to work in (along with some other well known High Street retailers), so do your research and come to a view yourself, if this is important to you.

I found a bargain even for Primark here recently - I wanted a warm fleece, and went to the men's part of the store, found a lovely one for £7, as opposed to skimpy women's wear with gaping three quarter length sleeves for £10. I'm going back today to try to find another one.

The clothing looks to be of high quality, but many of the prices have been drastically reduced. A dress originally at £120 had been reduced to £75 and then further discounted to £45, for example. Another originally at £95 was down to £35. I'm not sure if this is a seasonal sale, or if the stock just isn't moving, but good deals are available throughout the shop. I'd recommend checking this out if you're in the market for a new elegant look.
