Davina's Fashion

We are pleased we have survived all the various difficulties thrown at us by Covid including lockdowns and now look forward to a bright future in 2022. We are open every day except Sunday from 10 – 5. Do come in and be served by either Davina or Louise.

We have an exciting range of general clothing by Frank Lyman (sizes 8 - 20), a leading Canadian manufacturer, which is second to none. We also have exquisite jeans through to beautiful short evening wear. The Frank Lyman Collection is inspired by the daring, confident and unforgettable woman. Without claiming to be perfect, she embraces herself, adopts her own style and wears it with confidence. She is not defined by age, rather by her charisma. Her fashion embraces her curves and her pace of life. Her clothes are at the same time comfortable, fit and practical, but just as fanciful, because everything is played in the details.

We are fully stocked as the latest items have recently been added ideal for the coming Spring and Summer. Davina’s is also the place to come if you are seeking a special mother of the bride/groom outfit. We have an excellent range of Condici outfits which cannot be bettered for quality or style. We have predominantly shift dresses and “A” line dresses. Most come with a matching jacket which gives the finishing touches to the whole outfit. We also have matching hats, hatinators and fascinators together with shoes and clutch bags. It really is a “one stop shop” so you can leave us with everything ready for that special wedding without having to trail round different shops.

We are located in the centre of Warsash about one hundred yards from the Clocktower, next to the Coop. There is a car park opposite with free parking for up to 4 hours; so do come and try things on. We would love to see you either on your own or with your partner. Make it an enjoyable retail therapy experience to cast away the blues of the past 2 years.

Do visit our website at www.davinasladiesfashion.co.uk which is a showcase of some of what we have to offer.
