She seamlessly worked with me from BOTH Manhattan and Brooklyn locations and never complained once about transporting dresses back and forth for me. I can admit I'm a difficult person to shop for because I don't know how to express my words and vision but Maryna never made me feel rushed. She kindly took all the time to explain everything that would work with my dress and what wouldn't work with my dress. She never tried to upsell me on anything and honestly I would do this experience with her over and over and over again. Honestly one of my favorite people on earth. I almost cried getting my dress in for the first time. Everything she was so patient for made my dream wedding dress come to fruition! She carries such a wonderful selection of gowns. You will definitely find what you are looking for here.

She makes qipao!!! I…read morewanted a qipao to change into at my reception, and I found Kelima! She gave me a whole new experience of custom-made dresses and I enjoyed the process of making my qipao come true. When designing a dress (or any design for that matter), a great designer who understands your vision is a must. I came to her with an idea and inspiration, she delivered. I wanted a qipao that has the traditional concept but a modern twist (or 1950's Hong Kong, or In the Mood for Love), with the capability to allow me dance all night (oh I do!). From picking the fabric, measuring, sketching, fittings, and making changes, she helped me see my vision through her magic. I absolutely love the final product (and I got compliments from friends and family). My husband loves the qipao on me. Something about Kelima that I just feel so drawn to - she is soft-spoken, she is graceful in her demeanor, and she is just so crafty. Her designs are just dreamy, romantic, and feminine that will make any bride feel like a bride that walks out of a story book. She is not pushy (to sell you her ideas), but she has her way to make you see that she is right about the dress she is making for you. All you have to do is, enjoy the process and leave everything to her. We share the same love for tea so it's always a treat sipping on the tea when trying on my dress (and looking at myself in the mirrow). I almost always got to carried away at my appointments because we just kept talking and talking. I didn't fly to TW or China for my qipoa. Instead, I found Kelima here in the city. I got exactly what I was there for and I got an experience of a life time.

Taking a stroll through Soho (showing the various neighborhoods), her eyes catch a few dresses in the window. We ring the bell, and Kelima comes to the door, just finishing a bridal appointment. Who knew the designer worked at her own boutique - love boutiques where the quality truly is representative of the designer. Kelima was kind enough to talk us through some of the summer dresses at the store, but was sad she didn't have her size. Kelima said it'd take about a month and would call me when it was ready. With a special Opera Ball we are readying to attend at the end of Sept. we looked at a few dresses and went through the process for custom designing her own gown - a one of a kind design and gown. Next month should be very interesting... and you can bet your bottom dollar my girl's going to have an amazing gown and hands down, I think we found our designer! The fabrics used were sumptuous, elegant and begged to be looked at and touched. We even saw a dress being finalized that was made of a material you wouldn't dream of, yet, was absolutely breathtaking... For exceptional service, quality and attention to detail, i absolutely recommend you see Kelima; and while I wasn't "allowed" to look at any of the bridal-wear, I can only imagine how amazing they all look. Being part Japanese, I was amazed at the Bridal Kimono's and it brought me back to when I was in Nishi-Shinjuku with my sister when she wanted to look at Wedding Kimonos (girls like to dream). Guys and gals, this is one designer you must absolutely check out!!! --------------------------------------------------- Update - 6/30/07 Came back and we're going to be working with Kelima on designing her dress for Opera Ball. After perusing a few things and looking at the new line, we came upon a dress that was absolutely perfect for her... the silloute, color, everything. It was perfect. There were also 2 kimonos, a wedding pink kimono that was absolutely breathtaking and a silk everyday kimono that could increase any womans hotness oh, 10x!!! Look forward to seeing Kelima in a month for the first fitting! Sean Approved: Absolutely Definitely YES!!!

The process was a total delight and Karen is very attentive to detail. We picked out the exact fabrics, style and cut that I liked in the suit and then she had it made. It was a very fun process to go through getting a total custom suit and I was very happy with the result. If you're looking for an interesting piece of custom clothing at a very fair price, you can't go wrong with Dangerous Mathematicians. My new suit is damn sexy.

The prices do run a bit high, but if you come here when they're running a sale, you're sure to find something you'll like. I went here when Emporio was running a sale. Got a nice spread collar white shirt here for $50. The shirt fit me very well, and is of decent quality. The salesman told me that I could return it for a full refund should I not like it when I come home or even after I wear it. I like that return policy!!! I also picked up a gorgeous purple tie for $25. The tie is conservative, and Emporio has a fantastic selection of conservative ties. If they're not running a sale, expect to pay about 35-65/tie.

The sales associate NEVER informed me that if I purchased the dress in the store that it's not returnable, she even said to me "I can return this dress if you change your mind". After receiving the dress, it was ordered in the wrong size and is way too big and will be a difficult dress to alter because of the beadwork. I contacted Lara about returning the dress, they informed me about the return policy and have cut off all communication with me, they won't even answer my calls! I am stuck with a $1000.00 dress that is way too big and feel that what was a great experience is now tarnished and I will never go back or even buy this brand again!
