    I have a John Lewis one which I won booked for 10th August. It comes with £225 to spend in store which I can't wait for - but otherwise am dreading the whole thing. I have quite an individual style and know exactly what I do and don't like. My best friends and my boyfriend don't manage to successfully choose clothes I like so I very much doubt a personal shopper will. Also, my mum's been to the personal shopper in this store and she was older and good for the kind of thing my mum wanted... But I am 25, whereas my mum is 60! Wish I could just get the voucher but it specifically says it all has to be spent on the personal shopping day :(

    my advice would be relax & wear something that is typically you - my PS came back with some really girly stuff initially but when she realised it wasn't the sort of thing i liked she stopped bringing it back

    Sorry to bump this - but when I went to harrods for my jeans therapy, the man was abosulty wonderful! His job was to fit women with the right pair of jeans. We had an hour together and he suggested things that I would like and things that would suit my figure.

    Tried them on, some I hated, some I loved. He didn't mind running round and sorting things out for me!

    After this experience and reading the one above, I would say don't be put off with these competitions. It's their job to help you and make you feel comfortable :)
