Great experience at Catherine's of Partick. My daughter was in for a prom dress appointment and by far was the best shop and the best service by Katie. Katie was absolutely amazing at her job and made my daughter feel so comfortable. Can't wait for prom now and to see my daughter in this beautiful dress. Thank you so much Katie

Katie was very attentive and helpful while picking my mums “Mother of the Bride” dress. She gave her opinion and was great at helping to pick the perfect colour and size of dress. The whole experience was lovely. The only downfall of the day was waiting 20 mins to be taken after designated appointment time with no seating to wait, which was difficult for my sister who has back issues. Overall though the staff in the shop were great.

Catherine's of Partick were very helpful, obliging and knowledgeable about the dress I had chosen. Having travelled over to Glasgow from the North of Ireland it was important that I got dress correct. The seamstress was excellent and the dress was the perfect length on the day. A great many compliments were received on the day regarding the dress and where it was purchased - I was happy the dress pleased my daughter too as it was her very special day, Dr. Aisling Farren. Thank you Catherine's of Partick and I certainly will be keeping your shop in mind for future special occasion outfit...

I purchased a dress from catherine of…

I purchased a dress from catherine of patrick march 2024, the dress was very large which I got altered in the shop and was not cheap and cost just over £200. My son's wedding took 2 years planning, the day of the wedding all was going to plan. The vintage cars arrived at our home and we all went to get ready, I put my dress on and then all of a sudden the zip burst open. I was panicking and didn't know what to do, I got so very upset crying ruined my make that just got professionally done, my family had a closer look. We were horrified the zip was completely broken and unfixable. I didn't have a backup dress, it was absolutely awful 😢. I missed going in the car with my son because I wasn't going to let him be late for his own wedding 😔 I had to get someone to help saw the dress on me. Unfortunately the zip only got stiched up less than half way as there was no time and I had no option to go to my sons wedding with half the dress open at the back which caused the dress to be to loose at the shoulders and front. This disaster ruined 2 years of planning and caused my family especially myself great stress and disappointment as this should never have happened. I was and still am devastated as I can't ever get that special day that was meant to be memorable back. Very upset the the zip on the dress was faulty and broke 💔 completely utterly devastated 💔 😢

We travelled from Carlisle for our appointment with Irene to get a mother of the bride dress for my daughters wedding and the experience was wonderful! From the minute we walked in we felt relaxed and everyone was very professional. I walked away with the dress of my dreams and wouldn’t hesitate to go back for another event. Thank you again for all your help.

Top notch experience

Top notch experience. Catherines of Partick saw us at short notice and found me the perfect dress for my pre wedding shoot! Even when I asked to come back another day so I can think about it, they were super patient, kept my dresses aside for me and let me try them on as many times as I wanted to make a final decision. Super professional but more importantly so, so friendly that you feel compelled to buy your dress from them . Would happily go back any day for dresses and 100% recommend them if you’re looking for something for your special day!

From the moment I contacted Catherines of Partick to the time I picked up my chosen outfit, everyone was helpful and put you at your ease. When I arrived for my initial appointment, Jacqueline listened to my requirements, made helpful suggestions and ultimately helped me find the ideal outfit. Her calm.and kind approach made the experience much less daunting.

Styled by Roma

If I could give this shop a 10 star rating I would. What a fabulous experience from start to finish. I was so nervous about having to try outfits on in front of strangers until I was greeted by Roma! Roma Instantly put me at ease the minute I walked through the door. I tried some fabulous dresses on and Roma styled them all brilliantly! I left the shop with my beautiful Mother of the groom outfit with all accessories needed. I honestley could not have asked for a better experience. We all need a Roma to make us feel special!

I really enjoyed my experience in store with Irene one of the staff who assisted me. I had an open mind and wanted to be flexible in my approach. Irene selected a number of dresses that she felt would suit my style and shape. I’m really happy with the outfit I selected for my sons wedding and would highly recommend a visit if you are looking for something special to wear for an occasion.

Roma was amazing

Roma was amazing from the minute we entered the shop until we left and she even took photographs of us outside too. I felt so comfortable and thoroughly enjoyed selecting my outfit for my son’s wedding. I usually hate shopping for myself but Roma was so helpful and made it fun, she gave great advice and made me feel fantastic about myself in the outfit. I feel she added to what was already going to be a special day for me and I am so glad she was the person working with me to find that special outfit.

Wonderful ROMA

What a fabulous shop. We came up from Blackpool to Glasgow with the specific purpose of going to this shop. It was certainly worth the journey. Every conceivable style , colour and size - and at great prices. But what really made it was the wonderful ROMA. A lovely cheery lady who made my wife feel so special. We had a great laugh with her. Her expertise was obvious and in just one visit we were able to get the full outfit.
Thank you ROMA. You made our day
