I have a pair of boots and a pair of sandals and they always get a lot of comments. Ruth does alterations and there is nothing she can't fix.

I could never wear a dress. I went from store to store, Same thing nothing fit. I was convinced I…read morecould not wear dresses, and if I did it wouldn't look right. Would look like I'm just trying to hard if I did wear one from Macy's, Nordstrom, Bloomingdales you name it. Couldn't do it. Then, I tried to do something different. I thought maybe, if I got my dresses made for me personally that might work. I made a quick search and found Dara Lamb. I said that's it,I will try her on a whim. Called and made an appointment, was easy. Didn't really know how to navigate the whole process of picking material and style. But Dara is exceptional, she carries you through the process and makes it simple for you to decide. Her prices are not cheap, but you will end up with a dress that you will be happy with. You may be like me and feel that you need, "just one more," and keep going back. Long story, short. You are getting something of quality, and made just for you.

Took about 2 months for my online order of ready to wear items to arrive.

The 'mystery bottoms' wound up being an ugly skirt that feels like polyester (thats on me for ordering a mystery item though). And to top it off, depite advertising a free mystery gift with the order, nothing was included. Incredibly dissapointing and i will never order again.

This is a good-sized shop, bright from huge windows, that's filled with colorful shoes, assorted kitsch, and warm people. The shoes are outstanding, and the staff members are amazingly friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. (Jazz, in particular, helped us on the day we were there! Thank you again for your patience and for making us feel so welcome!) The variety of styles is incredible, and at least everything that I tried was supremely comfortable. Most of the store is women's shoes, but there's a decent amount of men's shoes as well. If they don't have the size in the store, they can check other stores and have them sent to you. There's a convenient - although NY-priced - garage half a block away, if you're driving. Really, go in and try them. You'll have a good time, and you might be surprised and find something that you never knew you needed! (My wife's found 'a few' of those...so far.)

Here is what you get when you order a custom suit from Mr. Ned:…read more Varham, son of the founder Ned, takes your measurements and quizzes you gently about what sort of suit you have in mind. They will make you any sort suit you want -- there isn't an enforced house style -- although Varham will steer you away from any utterly wrongheaded decisions. The measurements are applied to a pre-existing block pattern that best matches the cut you've specified. Second fitting is with just the basted body of the jacket to allow for significant alterations. Final fitting has the collar and sleeves already set, the trousers completed, with just the buttonholes and fine tweaking remaining. Total turnaround time is roughly 6-8 weeks; total cost using standard super 100/120 fabric is $850; functioning sleeve buttons and hand finishing along the lapel will run you $50 a piece. This is not true custom/bespoke given that they are working off an existing pattern. That said, I have to imagine they're drawing from a great multitude of proprietary patterns in order to accommodate all the sizes and shapes coming through their door. Moreover, all work is done on the premises, and the owner takes the measurements personally and shepherds your suit through every stage of production. In my mind, that's about as close as you're going to get to custom at a price that's remotely affordable without a finance job. Now am I happy with my first suit from Mr. Ned? Frankly, I am a tiny bit ambivalent. On the plus side: the trousers are fantastic and are perfect not just in fit but are of a piece with the ensemble. The back of the jacket and the sleeves exhibit terrific fit and drape. Finally, the lapel has a kind of graceful flow that says, "I am wearing a custom made garment!" to anyone sensitive to this strain of vanity. My criticism involves a rather imperfect drape to the sides and a lack of polish in the details due to the garment being largely machine made (although all the critical components like the sleeves are set by hand). At my final fitting, Varham pointed out this was my first suit with them. Implicitly the second suit would be an improvement, at least in the fit department. For most readers, $850 is a lot to spend on something that is only the first step towards a perfect fitting suit. For me, it's justifiable in that I wear suits for work constantly. I require a garment that is not only truly comfortable, but can withstand the wear and tear of NYC life; my suit is made from 14 oz Scabal Super 100 which is some pretty tough wool - it feels like a military uniform. Is it worth it? Absolutely. I wear my Mr. Ned suit more than any other. I feel more confident, thinner, smarter, etc. It's hard to put a price on materialistically driven self-worth, right? More objectively, Mr. Ned is widely regarded as the best game in town for custom suits under a $1,000. He knows his craft, delivers the goods on time, and makes the garments in NYC. I can't think of anyone else that can even come close to offering that kind of value for money. Cool Trivia: Mr. Ned is the preferred tailor of film director Wes Anderson and made all the suits for the Royal Tenembaums.

I have had three suits made here. Despite the fact that Varahm is a nice guy and they use union…read morelabor and treat their employees well, I Will never go back. The first suit I had made turned out too boxy for my taste, but I recognize that as my fault since I was new to the custom clothing world and simply didn't know what I wanted well enough to express my opinion on the matter. That said, there were construction problems that rest on Ned's shoulders. Most notably, the lapel was not sewn properly and so there are dramatic, unsightly ripples at the notch. Also, despite being boxy, the jacket is incredibly uncomfortable. I can not wear it for mroe than thirty or forty minutes while working at the computer without cramping in my upper back. This suit sits in my closet and I wear it maybe 2 times a year. The second suit I had made turned out better. This was because I was clear about my likes and dislikes with respect to the previous suit. While the cut is more to my liking, there were construction problems that really detract from the suit. Most notably, the suit came with a small hole in the crotch. Seriously. Also significant, the shoulders were cut differently and so the whole thing doesn't look uniform. Arg. I wear this suit when I want to look decent, but don't care if something bad happens to my clothes. (i.e., I might wear it to a wedding reception where it is likely to have a drink spilled on it, but never to a fancy dinner or an interview) Less you think they get better the more you work with them. The third suit was a total disaster. The sleeves were opened for buttons then inexplicably sewn all the way shut. The sleeves were attached in such a way to make me look like a zombie while wearing it. The fit was a weird combination of boxy and too tight. Literally unwearable. I simply gave the jacket away and now have one pair of very, very expensive suit pants. For labor-friendly alternatives try Martin Greenfield in Brooklyn or Samuelson made suits from Paul Stuart.
