Dorothy Perkins

I haven’t been to Dorothy Perkins for many years (I used to have a store card and I don’t anymore, long story), but I went with a friend the other day. I was very happy with my purchases. I bought three sale items from the accessory department and they only cost me a fiver. Whoo hoo! My problem was with the queue. There were three staff members manning three tills and it still took aaaaages. From what I could gather, the hold up was because they were all signing people up for a new store card. I’m sure the 10% discount was enticing to the customers (that is what hooked me), but there has to be a way to speed up the process. The staff are spending more time flogging the store cards than they are participating in actual customer service. When it was my turn I was also offered a store card (REALLY?! for £5 worth of merchandise), but I declined explaining that I had only recently paid off the card I had and didn’t want to start the process again. The store either needs to put more staff on a shift, perhaps some dedicated to store card sign-​up only and some dedicated to sales/​customer service or do something to speed up the sign-​up process.

A great place to pick up something simple for work. Particularly useful is their range of cotton tops which are available in a variety of colours at reasonable prices every year.
Some of the clothes are definitely tailored towards the older end of the market but there really is something for everyone.
The jewellery is particularly good at times and often worth a look, especially if a sale on. There is also a range of shoes and bags, which again are very reasonably priced.
The incentive of a 15% student discount however means that you are much more willing to check out the stock. And you might be surprised and even find something!

A fab place to get the latest look and not bad prices either. Although some people view Dotty P’s as a little ‘mummsy’ I have to say the quality of the clothing is fabulous, and much better than some cheaper stores (which I sharn’t name and shame!)
The accessories are great too and I find Dotty P’s underwear fits me very well. They also stock a ‘tall’ range which is useful for those of us who tend to tower over others and can’t get trousers long enough and therefore end up looking like our trousers have had a row with our shoes.
All in all — not a bad little number.

Dorothy perkins is a great shop if you want some classic clothes, the prices are good and they do some lovely underwear.
The sales are very good and you can pick up a top for £3, however when they do have a sale it does get very busy and often looks like a jumble sale, be prepared to jump in there have a good look and you will find some fantastic bargains.

This has to be my favourite shop when it comes to shoes and boots, with the majority of my collection coming from here. They cater for larger women going up to size 22 which is great and students can get a discount throughout the year. They have the best selection of jewellery, accessories and dresses! While most other shops are a bit too ‘funky’ for me, I find this shop to be just right. You can also find some helpful tips from Gok Wan on their website, allowing you to find clothes to suit you whatever your shape or size.

My favourite clothes shop, with something for every taste.
The prices vary as much as its clothes range.
They offer great student discounts and every now and then offer everyone 20% off all items in store for no reason! Wow!
The clothes here are high quality and long lasting.
Clothes go up to a flexible size 22 and shoes up to a size 8. So again, something for everyone is on offer.
Whether you need work clothes or going out clothes, Dorothy Perkins is sure to offer you more than one option for each.

Well if you’re a woman and you haven’t ventured into Dotty P’s yet, you might like to start now. Pretty up to date women’s fashion’s with some nice, inexpensive pieces for work and for smarter occassions. Student discount is offered here @ 15% throughout the year. Dotty P’s stocks jewellery, accessories, bags and lingerie.
The underear is especialy nice and well made and is very inexpensive compared to other contemporary options. They also have a good range of shoes which are well priced and good office options.
Some of the clothes can seem a little old fashioned, with the tailoring and cuts on clothing a little bit dated
