Before I had chance to draw my gaze from the little black number which had caught my eye I was whisked into the Personal Shopper Suite.

There, over a cup of tea, Kay explained that there was no obligation to buy - the service was there to assist shoppers who could accompany them around the store or relax in the suite while the items were selected.

I had chosen two completely different looks.

The first - an outfit for a chilly afternoon spent huddled in the terraces at Home Park.

The second - a glamorous look for a night out at a dinner and dance.

With a confident nod from Kay and Kate, we charged onto the shop floor.

"What about raspberry," Kay suggested.

"Quite a few people have decided on colours and styles which they would not usually have tried," Kay said.

"What about some dark blue trousers?" Kate asked, holding up a pair against my legs.
