If you are attending a wedding, going to the races or having a special occasion party this summer, you may be looking for some fashion inspiration – so here are a few ideas of what to wear and how to make sure the outfit you buy is versatile enough to be worn again. 👚👡👠👗🕶👢🍾👞👔
I shopped at Browns in Gainsborough today in a mild panic as I had an hour to find an outfit for a wedding! The two lovely ladies on Phase Eight were so helpful pulling out options, showing me how best to wear them and even teaming me up with some accessories. Should have been a stressful trip but instead it turned into an enjoyable experience - thank you I love my outfit!
Great service and great food at lunch on Saturday with friends. Special mention to catering management on your staff who all seem very helpful and happy especially the lady that looked after us called Tara. Made to feel special and valued throughout our meal. To quote some famous words ‘will be back’ 😀😀
Great service and expert advice from Browns of York. I went to York to buy a white sports bra. First sports store didn’t have what I wanted, nor did a large chain department store in York. Both times it was suggested I buy online. Who buys a bra online?
Off to Browns - they had exactly what I wanted and the lady in lingerie was very knowledgeable and checked it fitted well. Thank you - just should have gone there first!
Always something new to discover in this treasure of a store, the staff are very helpful and happy to help me find exactly what I wanted. Customer service is alive and well here and the photographs in the stairwell are a wonderful touch
