When walking into this shop you feel immediately like a lady, as this place sells ladies things…read more I was last minute wedding accessories shopping and I realised, only by looking into the shop window, I didn't have a necklace. The one on the half a head dummy looked beautiful, ok my description of the display may not be selling it to you but it was a really pretty and unusual looking piece of jewellery. This shop is probably more mother of the bride by looking at the outfits on display. They do have a good range of accessories, from fasinators, handbags, scarfs and jewellery. The ladies were very helpful and the lady who initially served me got the necklace from the shop window for me. It was a little more than I would have liked to have spent but it really was pretty and would go perfectly with my outfit. So next time you're in Hamilton ladies have a wee look. It does feel very intimate as it's a small sized shop but it's very brightly lit and you can see in through the window display, so I would window shop first before heading in. By the way there's no way you'll get 'Madonna Voguing' here, a wee disappointed but I'll get over it. I just keep it all in my head instead. Vogue!

I've never been a huge fan of Dotty P's, and always felt it was geared towards the older…read moregeneration, with the odd basic and pair of pumps suitable for younger people. I discovered I was wrong however, when I recently bought the best pair of shoes I have ever had from here, for a mere £40. A lifetime of shoe happiness for only 2 £20 notes! Ideal. They are high, nude peep toes and go with literally everything. I had looked everywhere for a pair, and the last place I went was here. As soon as I saw them I knew they were perfect. I have had so many comments on them, and I love wearing them. They are comfy and versatile, which for me makes the perfect pair of heels. This Dorothy Perkins always seems to have loads of gorgeous shoes even though it's a smaller store. It has been refurbished in the past couple of years so it looks smart and modern, which only adds to the appeal. I still think some of the clothing is a little more geared towards the 30 plus range, but it is getting better. All my stars go to my shoes though, I have Dorothy Perkins to thank for my fab footwear!

I entered this store today with items for an exchange, i approached a member of staff who was…read moredirectly in front of me, i explained in a very friendly manner that my friend had bought me some items for my hen doo which is tomorrow, but none of the items fit me properly (a denim type dress and a small top), i explained i had no receipt however the items still had tags on etc.. and i wasn't looking for a refund but, if possible could i exchange for another item?. the member of staff basically looked me up and down and told me in a very short manner that * no we don't do that here*. however i have exchanged items in the past without proof of purchase but with tags on. as i've had a very hard day mentally i didn't want to argue and instead said it was fine, i would look for something else and just pay for it on my own without an exchange. i took my pram around a part of the clothing to look at some items, when i noticed this member of staff following me, she then approached another member of staff and began speaking about me, clearly she thought she was whispering, but she wasn't doing a very good job of it.. as someone who has worked in retail on and off for the last 16 years or so i found this to be ridiculous, and also incredibly embarrassing, i immediately walked out the shop trying not to cry because it made me feel so terrible, and emotionally i don't think i could have handled the confrontation. i ended up going to another clothing store where i purchased something for my day tomorrow. i hope that in writing this it might mean a look at customer service in this particular store. the girl was about 5'4 with long dark hair and glasses. i'm not sure if i will return to that particular store to shop because i don't want to be judged for no reason.

This is not the best primark although if your in hamilton its still worth a visit. selling many…read moreclothes from jumpers, t-shirts, shirts, womans and children's clothing. They also have some boots and slippers for sale at the moment. The Layout is not great its quite cramped and sometimes you can't get past the puschairs. The prices are good but sometimes you pay for what you get. The queue can be really long and somtimes it feels understaffed.

this is one of my favourite shops bright its welcoming and it has all sorts ! They have women's and…read morechildren's clothing plus a footwear section and a big accessorise section as well .. the staff are very friendly and help out when they can. the price of the clothes is fantastic. Changing rooms can get very busy especially at the weekend. This is rather a small shop but the bright lights make it look bigger. It is well laid out and it is easy to find the type of clothes you want (e.g daywear, pyjamas etc.). It has a great range of lingerie all at reasonable prices ands some nice pjs. They have a wide range of clothes although i usually find its mainly just casual everyday clothes rather than what you would buy to go out to the nightclub

small store compared to some of the large outlets in other towns , only about 1/6 of the size of…read morethe one in east kilbride , so obviously means less stock , range isnt as good and they dont carry a wide range of sizes . big minus in my opinion is not doing the inspire range, they must loose out to peacocks and george at asda on this side , they also dont do the kids range or any of the mens line, i know its a small shop but you would think they could manage a few bits and pieces. what they do have is aimed at size 8 to size 14s, they might have a few things in a 16 but very few. they do stock a good range of shoes and boots , but i prefer to wait till sales are on before buying. the staff arent very helpful , if you ask them something the typical answer all round is i dont know. no chance of them finding out either , would take them to long to ask .

The great thing about this Matalan is the size. It's huge! It was made even bigger a couple of…read moreyears ago when a new section, M Party, was joined onto the store, making it one of the biggest units in the retail park. The thing I never really understand about Matalan is the need for cards. Why do they have them? It used to be that you had to have a card to buy anything, but on my more recent visit, I noticed they had slackened up on that, and it's now used for more of a rewards card than store ID. This store has everything; kids, women's and men's clothes, shoes and home ware. They have a brilliant underwear section and sell branded bras at less than half price. They even have Calvin Klein boxers at £9 a pack, which is less than half price, ideal for Xmas or Birthday pressies! I used the services that M Party provides for my 21st birthday party, and had cream and pink balloons with lovely little shimmery weights and bits and bobs for decorating the hall, all for under £100, which was amazing value! You have to collect the balloons yourself but that wasn't a problem. They have table decorations, age specific decorations and buffet ware, which is all fairly priced and available in every colour imaginable! They also make up banners if you want them, although I felt they were a bit pricey. Huge store with loads of bargains! The clothes in Matalan are getting nicer by the season, and I would highly recommend it for summer holiday clothes.

Robertson Outerwear is one of these shops that seems to have been around Hamilton Centre for about a hundred years, yet I can't seem to understand how it can thrive. It's for women, and women who like coats, although I would say a coat is a purchase you make every six months maximum, so they can't be getting constant custom! It is mainly designer makes, such as Kirstin and Jack Murphy Outdoor, which are all highly priced, but incredibly high quality all the same. Not for me, as I prefer things which are a little cheaper and more fashionable.
