Desparate help needed.

I have an 80's themed fancy dress party to go to on Friday night 16th and I am trying to get hold of a SHELL SUIT in really garish colors and perhaps a RELAX or FRANKIE SAYS T-Shirt. Does anybody know of a retro 80's shop in Sheffield.

Cheers.....

I am not aware of anywhere that caters specifically for your needs. However, this subject has been discussed before so perhaps you could try conducting a search on here or manually look through past threads.

I know of several fancy dress shops in Sheffield...

There's Mr Ben's (http://www.mr-bens.co.uk) at Crookes, there's also Party City (http://www.party-city.co.uk) on Ecclesall Road, there's one up Woodseats on Chesterfield Road, which doesn't have a web site, and there is also one by the Parkway Roundabout in the City Centre opposite the pay and display car park.

You could probably find the phone numbers either in the phone book or on Yell.com (http://www.yell.com).

Hope that helps.

There's a shop on Devonshire Street, called 'Party' or something, next to the Dev Chippy.. I'm sure I saw some funky outfits in there.

Try any charity shop,theres some good ones in hillsborough.lots of tasteless 80s gear to be had for pennies.

Also worth pointing out that the childrens society shop in hillsborough get large consignments of seized counterfiet designer goods and clothing from trading standards which they sell for a few quid,its hard to tell the difference with some of it.
walk out in style for a fraction of the cost,only youll know,and your helping the kids too:thumbsup:

I thought the idea of seizing counterfiet goods was to stop it being sold.
That means the people that sell it in the first place get fined or sent to prison,then the Charity Shop sells it on.

As a result the goods still hit the streets,what next Policemen selling drugs.

yeah right,it is pointed out at time of sale where they are from,i suppose its to make good of a bad trade,wish theyd do it with the seized fags

oh sorry i forgot ,i live on the cross theres no shortage of cheap fags and baccy:D

Yeah Freshmans is good for retro stuff and there is another Freshmans in the Forum Shopping center if the one on Carver street is no good.
Is also a good printing shop in meadowhell....sorry Meadowhall so you could print your own Frankie Says Relax T-Shirt if theres no joy in any shops
