I feel Dorothy Perkins can be a hit or miss. It is like Topshop for older, dare I say frumpy, people. There is occasionaly some nice shoes or jewellery in here for a reasonable price, and the student discount is handy.\n\nHowever when I find clothing I like I am always disapointed to discover that the only sizes they seem to have a good stock of are sizes 14-18. Therefore I rarely buy clothing in here because the one or two things I do like, are not in my size.\n\nI would say that Dorothy Perkins style is better to suited to your mum anyway.
