Maggie Mcallister, Glasgow

Maggie is amazin. She just knows what you want before you do! She is down to earth and friendly. When you first meet her you get the feeling she has been a friend all of your life.

I had an idea of what I wanted for my Son’s Wedding. Had an image and Maggie made it for me. It fitted like a glove. All day people were commenting on it and I was asked numerous times whether it was a Vivienne Westwood – I had great pleasure in saying that it was a McAllister.

Maggie, thank you so much for my fantastic dress and the confidence that it gave me. Words could never express how much the outfit contributed to the fantastic day we had.

Thank you so much. I’ll be back…

I am an Australian living in the London, UK. A year ago I went in the hunt for my perfect wedding dress. I finally found an image I liked but couldn’t find the dress anywhere. I finally thought I will get it made instead so I went in search for a dress maker. I tried a few London dress makers & designers but none made me happy. I then thought I’d try outside London & I had friends up in Stirling, Scotland, so why not try there. I had an appointment with Maggie McAllister & good timing my mother was over from Aus so we both went. Otherwise i was doing this by myself. As soon as we met Maggie my mum & I knew straight away Maggie was perfect for the task. So I gave her the dress image of what I wanted & then the process began.
Maggie from start to finish was amazing. She listened to all I said & took it all in as well as giving me suggestions & more ideas. She had a way of interpreting & understanding everything I wanted from what i explained to her. Through her experience, her professionalism, & remarkable ability she was able to produce the exact dress I wanted. The dress was exactly the same as the image I gave her. She made the dress perfectly to fit my shape & sit well. It was perfect & I got so many comments not just on the look but also on the quality of the dress itself. Many of my friends are holding onto her number for when they require a bespoke dress, especially their wedding dress. If I were to get another dress made I would definitely be asking Maggie to do it for me.
Thank you so very much Maggie you have been wonderful. You have been an angel to me.
Love Louise

Maggie is an amazing dressmaker.I first used her for a cocktail dress for my 21st birthday that was 11 years ago and still making me them to date. I think they just keep getting better.....
I just recently got a lovely red dress for a wedding everyone complimanted it, the detail on the back was outstanding.

Bridesmaid dresses one of the most difficult tasks i have had but Maggie made it easy. Colour to suit them all and style i was so unsure as they were all dfiferent shapes and sizes. They were perfect made from a perfectionist......

I recommend Maggie to all my friends and family only problem is if were all going to same event i have to get in first. Ha ha

Our friends, who had a civil partnership ceremony, recommended Maggie to us to design dresses for ours. I'm glad our friends didn't keep her to themselves as Maggie came up trumps with dresses for our special day, very flattering, with many compliments made by our guests about them.

Maggie designed fantastic dresses and made the design process stress-free, coming up with exactly what we asked for and making excellent suggestions to improve on our basic design, both sharpening up but entirely realising our original vision.

She has a brilliant way of both teasing out what you want from a dress but also on making it even better, by recommending (without any pressure) certain design features that we hadn't considered. This means that not only is she an expert at the technical side of dress-making, she is superb at the communication side of things, which can only improve the overall design and consultation experience.

We had never commissioned a bespoke dress before so I can assure the novice dress buyer that Maggie will put you at your ease and deliver a dress that will exceed your expectations. Great service, great dresses.

We look forward to returning to her for future commissions.

Maggie is an amazing dressmaker. Maggie has made several dresses for me for beauty pageants. Each dress she has made for me is completely unique and WOW!! Maggie is such a warm and friendly person and ready to spend the time with you deciding on fabrics, embellishements etc so that you really do get your dream dress.

Maggie knows how to make that ideal dress a reality for you and how to tailor it so that it works for the client's individual body shape. I wouldn't have anyone else make me a dress as her's are just so amazing and special!

Maggie's designs are so good that a dress that she made for me won an award at a beauty pageant final with girls from all over the UK!

Nothing is too much effort for Maggie, she is always willing to go the extra mile to make your outfit original and unique to you! Maggie has created more than 10 dresses or wedding outfits for me and each dress no matter how many times worn earns a hundred compliments. Maggie doesn’t just create outfits, she helps create memories and I for one would be lost without her. I discovered Maggie nearly a decade ago, have recommended her to friends for wedding dresses, graduation outfits, ball gowns and without doubt she has been a real find and more than that she has now become a true friend.

Maggie can make you look a million dollars nothing is too much effort for her and her attention to detail is second to none.I have had her make me several dresses and 3 outfits for friends weddings.The comments received from friends and other guests make you realise what a wonderful ideas and dressmaker Maggie is.My only problem is finding the space in my wardrobe because I keep wanting to go back to her for more.

I have commissioned 3 dresses from Maggie for beauty pagents and bridesmaides dresses. Each dress has been as brilliant as the last with excellent attention to detail and all are amazing quality! Every dress I have had made has the WOW factor and people always ask where they were bought from.

She always takes her time over each piece and with clients.
She can make anything you ask her for, her dressmaking skills are fantastic, and she provides excellent value for money. I wouldn’t want an evening dress from anywhere else.
