Advantages: stylish clothes

Disadvantages: Expense

Morgan would not really be a favourite shop of mine. I can't really put my finger on it, but i just leave it for "last resorts" when i can't find anything else on the high street for a special ocassion. But i must admit that quite often i find something i like in there. I just resent the prices. And i'm not terribly keen on the staff either. Generally (in my experience) narcissistic and uninterested in selling the clothes, more into standing around imitating the immaculately dressed mannequins in the window.

Anyway, forgetting about the staff, Morgan's clothes come in three sizes: 1,2 and 3. (slightly ambiguous, but just think S,M,L) They are quite small fitting, but for smaller girls the cut is usually very flattering. The designs are also modern and pretty. But the selling point is that the clothes are also unusual, with intricate detailing. Very French and very chic.

The new lines for this season are pretty, with bows and florals seeming popular. I've already seen a few items i'd like for my wardrobe, but i doubt that the bank balance will stretch that far.

The Morgan Stores are laid out in the "White Box" design. White walls, glass fronted stores and quite sparse rails. The store is very tasteful and attractive to look into. The clothes also have evolved, and it is not so common to see the vest tops and t-shirts having "MORGAN" emblazoned all over the front any more.

I have a few Morgan items in my wardrobe that i wear year after year, such is the quality and cut. They just don't age. On the other hand i also have thrown out many items from the store as they were out of fashion within a season.

What i'd just like to say is, although i can't put my finger on why i don't like the store, I certainly wouldn't write it off my shopping trips because of price, quality or staff. These things vary with each store or item. Plus Morgan's sales are alw
ays very good, with many items going half price almost at once. Then is the best time to part with your cash!
