I shopped there occasionally when I was much younger, but haven't been inside one for years- their window displays just look like cheap tarty trash- truly horrendous.

Lol at Jane Whoreman. It really is horrible. DD1 13 won't even look in there, let alone 38 year old me.

IMHO if you like their style, circa 1999, black tight pants cut up tight lycra low cut tops, you'll always find something you like in there. I just find them really boring and predictable. Ps they are a little bit sluttish.

I think some of their stuff is nice, but way to expensive.

Dd1 (11), loves it. I got a dress from there once and she was overjoyed when I gave her the carrier bag lol.

FSF- if you like something buy it irrespective of whatever shop its from, I always pick up gems in the most unexpected of places.

I used to like it in my early twenties and thought of it as being a relatively'nice' high street store. Now however, everything just looks soooo cheap with the exception of the odd jumper/cardi/coat.

i bought a pair of trousers there and zip broke. took them back and they stared blankly. 'we haven't got any more of them' errm well can i have money back then [more blank face] 'no. we can't get into hhe till'

i am not a feeble consumer but was defeated by the blank girls.
