Six

Six is the big sister and predecessor of Fred’s boutique in Chorlton and it is positioned as its name suggests at number six Station Road in Urmston. When it opened a few years ago, Six completely revolutionised the attire of Urmston ladies. I like the fact that the stock is forever changing but it means that this is a buy it when you see it kinda shop because if you return a couple of days later, the object of your desire may have vanished.
Clothes here are lovely and well priced. Dresses start from as little as £15 and I have never spent more than £35 on an item. Six only stocks 2 or 3 of any garment and sells to ladies of all ages, particularly 20 and 30 somethings. The clothes are well sourced ad well made and usually don’t follow the standardised sizing 10,12 14 etc. I prefer small, medium and large measurements because each category can span a few sizes and and if you are on a particularly snappy PMT day and your tummy has ballooned to the size of an eight month pregnant whale, how flattering is it that you can still fit into a small size?
There are two narrow cubicles in the rear of the shop and my only complaint is that you always bang your head, or arms, or any other body part on the silly chandeliers whilst you are trying on the clothes. This is a minor issue though, by and large Six is a jewel of a shop. It also sells belts, jewellery, and other accessories.
The staff are friendly and don’t get me wrong, even though I can talk for ages to the lovely blond lady who works there, one of Six’s main attractions is the Adam Garcia lookalikey who never fails to give an honest appraisal of whether an outfit suits you or not. Looks AND honesty! Is this man for real? I would encourage all the single ladies out there to pop into Six. if you don’t get fixed up with a fabulous frock, you might get fixed up with something else!
