Catherine Deane Reviews 59

Lia was incredibly helpful, and assisted me in locating a gown which has just been discontinued. If it weren't for her, I don't believe I would have found it and I had my heart set on it. Thank you Lia, you were wonderful and I can't wait to wear such a gorgeous piece on my special day. 10/10

From Aislinn in Dublin, Ireland 🇮🇪

Phee was great and made the whole process really relaxing and fun. I came back 3 times as I wanted to bring different people. Phee was really patient each time and didn't mind that we over ran. She was great with my nieces and really included them in the day. The Catherine Deane dresses, separates and toppers are just stunning. Only problem is there's too much choice.

The whole experience from trying on dresses to collecting my dream dress was so lovely. Zun was amazing, she gave honest opinions, she made the experience really enjoyable and she was super helpful. I would highly recommend them to any future brides!

It's a really nice shop! Zun was really nice and helpful, and I found a dress I'm really happy with!

Okay let me start by saying the dress quality is very good especially for the price. I enjoyed visiting the show room, it was a nice place and the attendant was very kind and helpful. She worked with what she had in store and did make a very nice arrangement for me. But it wasn’t what I wanted, I’m not looking for a bespoke dress. Or to have bits from different garments pinned to styles I hadn’t chosen.
I just wanted to try a few shapes and fabrics to get a feel for what I want to wear. I knew this may be a challenge as a UK size 16. (My wedding isn’t until 2026 so we have the luxury of time)

But let me level with you ladies. If you are a UK size 14 or higher this is not the place for you.
As most of the sample size dresses are more suited to a size 12-14 at the absolute most and you will have to sort of get an idea based on lots of pins to padded fabric.

I felt like I was dressed as a plus size girl, how the industry and perhaps a thinner woman without boobs thinks I would want to dress.
With thick strapped bodices to tuck my boobs into a relatively plain and un-elegant bodice (just makes them look bigger and matronly) and covered in fabric. Thick waistbands (which detract away from my actual shape). I also would avoid suggesting capes to curvy women. It is not a good look.

They do have larger sizes in stock but their very plain and you will get more variety elsewhere. I genuinely believe that our lady (Zun) did what she was trained to do, and she did it well and was very kind and professional throughout. I am not writing this as a negative reflection on her service which was I’m sure an industry standard.
(I know this now having spoken to my sister who also worked in a boutique bridal store).

It reflects a wider problem of how plus size women and plus sized bodies are perceived.
I say this as a curvy size 14-16. I didn’t take it personally but I felt that it might be good to draw attention to this issue for the designer.
I don’t know that it’s so much a Catherine Deane thing as it is a fashion industry thing.
But if your going to claim you stock standard sizes you need to be able to let a size 16 try on a dress that actually closes…? Especially as the big thing for me was to be able to get a feel for back detail.

Bottom line is - beautiful dresses, great value, nice show room, nice overall experience.

But more need to be done for them to be an inclusive brand for brides who are different shapes and sizes.

Sofia was really lovely and helpful! Had such a fun time and she really helped narrow down what dress I should go for! Very personable and made the whole process enjoyable!!! Higly recommend to other brides to be! ❤️

Laura was amazing and super knowledgeable. I came into the store with no idea of what I wanted, ended up taking her recommendation. Every dress is such amazing quality and stunning, thoroughly recommend Catherine Deane.

Zun has been fabulous. Really helpful in finding my size and recommended different pieces to try on. I’m really happy with my wedding outfit!

Really lovely experience and gorgeous dresses! I said yes to the dress! 🥳👰♥️✨

Both Amelia and Zun helped immensely with my vision and bringing it together. Offering a friendly and professional service, I would definitely recommend Catherine Deane to any bride! Thank you both so much

I was meant to visit the store but unfortunately I could not make it so I ordered my wedding outfit directly from the website. This was such a risk ordering before trying but it has arrived and it could not be more perfect. The communication I received from Lia has been outstanding and has made my experience even better. Thank you so much 😊

Wonderful store, lovely staff and most importantly beautiful dresses!

Fantastic service for fittings and alterations. Organised appointments, really friendly and efficient!

Zun was great at understanding my vision and giving me helpful thoughts. The studio is so beautiful and it was a really fun experience trying on all the beautiful styles.

What a wonderful experience! Zun chose 3 or 4 outfits for me based on the very loose ideas that I had and the very first item was the winner! The show room is stunning and I am beyond happy with the excellent customer service! Thank you so much, I'm so happy.

Really lovely showroom and selection of dresses! Gamze (stylist) was really helpful and patient.

Incredible alterations!! Made a reasonably priced bridal dress which was already gorgeous look like a custom designer piece.

I wholeheartedly recommended Catherine Deane for their incredibly talented staff alone

I had the loveliest time and experience. Highly recommend, the venue in itself is gorgeous, the dress selection gives you a really great idea of what you like and don’t like and the experience is so special!

Gamza was a delight - very patient and attentive. Lovely experience

Amazing amazing experience with Zun found my dream dress and can’t wait to wear it on my wedding day
