I get all my dresses in Millets ;-)

All charity shops, you get such good bargains. Sue..............

I love Kookai and zara!! I love to go to Bay when im back in uk though xx

i rarely buy any clothes (dont interest me ) but my daughter who is 18 luvs topshop and h & m also i think its debenhems which i think is very strange as i thought that was a shop for old ladies !!!! she hates new look and next though and i tend to agree as i think they r both overpriced and their clothes dont wash very well ! she also goes in primark which seems to b good here with well made clothes at a very cheap price and they hav to b good for fussy daughter to wear if i am forced to go with her (to advice her !!!) i luv topshop best as it has lots of hippy type clothes and jewllery which i luv although bex never buys any of it as she hates it ...........lol

I love Charity shops and get lots of good quality things in some of them for very little cash. They are also brilliant for curtains and other household items. Our local Barnardos have a lot of GAP clothes with the labels cut out and do a great range of Mikey jewellery. I like Primark and also QS for summer stuff especially, cheap and cheerful, and just as good as dearer places. Another one is Bon Marche - some of their things are really nice. In Norwich we also have a QD which has loads of good things - I have bought clothes in there and in Roys of Wroxham which are Bhs or M & S, but just have the labels cut out. I sometimes go to Matalan at Gt Yarmouth - wish we had one in Norwich. I can't bear all this wearing of brand names - think I should be paid to advertise!!

Glad you're happy with them Sharon!!

I have to disagree i recently brought a dress from Monsoon and it was very good quality (But it ought to be for the money! ) Sharonxxx

I've got a bit fussy with clothes lately, despite what Bec thinks about my shirts lol Don't really have a favourite shop, just buy things I like when I see them... Next, Gap, places like House of Fraser etc

next, love it, never used to but discovered it recently , and we have a new one bigger opening up the road soon

I'm not really into clothes that much, buy em to keep me warm & decent. Always made my own or bought at charity shops until last year when I discovered Edinburgh Woolen Mill. Like BHS as well. Vivienne Sharon, have a good look at Monsoon dresses, they look good but are very shoddy made.

Well , New Look i my favorite of the moment, but i also like Next, Dorothy Perkins and Monsoon but they are a bit expensive. They do gorgeous dresses in there. Sharonxx

I use to go to next until they made the size 8's in trousers bigger now its either river island for jeans and the trousers are from principles. Can get my tops anywhere cos they all fit. Shoes are from Dune. Yvonne

Daisy... never heard that before... groan Nothing wrong with havign standards tho eh ? lol Paul x (no offence meant to anyone who shops in primark lol)

Jane am coming to Chester in October so which ones do you recommend? Daisy

Thanks Lisa! x

Paul - So they're FAKE Hawaiian shirts then? PMSL

Next......River Island...........New Look Etam's are closing down this month, my local one is being bought buy Top Shop. Tammy, will go into British Home stores. Sorry, don't like Primark or Matalan, ( poor Qyuality) You get what you pay for, i say, if that makes me a snob, then so be it.

Stand your ground Paul. With a name like yours you do have rather a lot to live up to!!! Daisy

When I was a stay-at-home mum I bought lots of stuff from charity shops - one had a designer rail which was great for bargain quality clothes. Before I had kids I worked in London and shopped in Oxford street, got most of my clobber from Top Shop, C & A and Richards. Now I find clothes shopping a bore and because I am short I tend to order online from places catering for petite sizes - at the moment I use Next and Lands End a lot, with a bit of Laura Ashley & Debenham's. nell
