This shop is just a small local shop but I feel that it deserves a mention as it provides such a rare thing these days. Up to date fashions for the larger ladies.

Advantages: Fashions and comfort Disadvantages: needing more cash than I have

Anything that you have seen on the slimmer ladies you can find here such as the recent fashions of beaded jeans, gypsy tops etc. Even those sexy undies that we all like to wear are available here.

Because the store is for larger people, if you are a little conscious of you size and would feel awkward in a "high street " fashion shop, that aspect is taken away as most people in the shop are in the same oat as you.

This shop is just a small local shop but I feel that it deserves a mention as it provides such a rare thing these days. Up to date fashions for the larger ladies.
Based on Hessle Road in Hull, East Yorkshire, the floor area of this shop is not overly large, about the equivalent of 2 small shops. That said the amount of fashion wear in the store is great from Jeans and T-shirts to Clubbing wear, all areas are covered. The smallest size in the shop is a 16 and the largest can be 30. Now if you are a larger lady like myself you might not want to wear tent dresses and big cardies and with this store there is no need. Anything that you have seen on the slimmer ladies you can find here such as the recent fashions of beaded jeans, gypsy tops etc. Even those sexy undies that we all like to wear are available here.
Then again if you what business suit or wedding outfit you can find one here. Jackets and coats are also available. They have recently started stocking handbags, scarves and other accessories.
The prices are very reasonable anyway but they always have a section towards the back of the shop that has reduced price items.
Because the store is for larger people, if you are a little conscious of you size and would feel awkward in a "high street " fashion shop, that aspect is taken away as most people in the shop are in the same oat as you. There are 4 lovely clean changing cubicles each with its own mirror and also a large full length mirror just outside the cubicle for you to get that overall look at yourself. There is no feeling of been rushed here, I have been know to be browsing here for over an hour, the staff are there if you need them but do not force themselves onto you.
The owners of the shop have a number of agents running "draws" ,this can be a great idea if you are limited on the amount you have to spare each week. I myself am in such a draw paying just £4 per week, for 25 weeks I get t go in the store and spend approx. £100 on myself and using the discounted rails I often manage to get a nice lot of new up to date clothes that I feel comfortable in.
Advantages: A one-stop shop. Provides a wide range of materials at reasonable, cheper prices. Disadvantages: Prices can be a triple of what they should be on some ranges. Doesn't supply specialist items.
particular companies.
Anyway, back to Hobbycraft! The first I walked in it was very specious and huge - literally aisles and aisles of art and craft materials, there is also an upper floor! It's easy to get lost in your little world looking at the products because you soon start conjuring up lots of ideas of what you could do, make, use with all the arts stuff that they have for sale - it's very easy to spend an hour or two in there!
My first impressions, which was way back towards the end the last year, I just thought that everything was a little too expensive - prices too high and I knew I could get the same stuff cheaper from the internet and other art shops. So I just thought Hobbycraft was just another big super business creation. However, a few months (on my way to the pet shop again!) I popped in there for another browse just to get ...

Advantages: Good selection of products, own brand products are cheap Disadvantages: Organic and forgeign products expensive
, you will get 25 points. For every 500 you acquire, you will be entitled to a £2.50 voucher. It's a good way of saving up throughout the year for Christmas.
Over time, they have gained quite a selection of organic and foreign foods, which is really helpful. They're not exactly cheap, but at least you know where to go if you want certain products.
Their delicatessan counter is quite varied. Selling all the 'normal' stuff like cheese, ham and salad, they also sell stuff like houmos, taramasalata and pasta etc. They have quite a variation of cheeses and hams, some cheapter than others.
Although the bigshopping trolleys are free for use, a £1 charge (which is returnable) is needed for the smaller shopping trolleys. I always get one of these as I never do too much shopping.
Just a little story which made me laugh. As I entered ...
Advantages: good customer service, good prices, good range of stock Disadvantages: long queues
customer service
will refund you if they sell you faulty products
big range of stock
online store uswel, which now accepts paypal
THINGS I DONT LIKE ABOUT THE SHOP:
long queues
some stuff bought is faulty
overall this is a really good shop, it sometimes has long queues and can often by dodgy goods, but dont be scared to ask to look at the cd or dvd before buying it to see if its scratched because they wont mind. the customer service is excellent and prices are good, so give this shop a go! ...
