Beautiful dresses!

by leenyreb at Citysearch

I recently bought a dress at Kelima and had a truly unique and remarkable experience that I felt I had to write about. Usually when I shop for a dress I am met with relatively impersonal not to mention pushy salespeople. Shopping at Kelima was anything but impersonal. The dresses speak for themselves but Kelima and her staff were so sweet and helpful and really understood what I was looking for. She did my alterations on site and made sure the dress fit perfectly. It felt amazing to wear something that seemed almost tailor made for me! Her wedding dresses are also breathtaking. I was I had discovered this store when I was looking for my wedding dress. I would definitely have wanted to be married in a Kelima original!

• Pros: Beautiful dresses, on site tailor, helpful salespeople
• Cons: I wish I lived downtown so I could go more often!

My Beautiful Wedding Dress

by susan242 at Citysearch

I love this designer. I had such a wonderful

experience ordering a custom made Kelima wedding dress

a few years ago. It was the most pleasant part of

planning my wedding, and I was inundated with

compliments on my big day.

I have since purchased two beautiful Kelima evening

dresses. These are beautiful, unique designs with

incredible attention to detail. The fabrics are

extraordinary, the designs are extremely well made,

and the prices are excellent! I'd expect to pay twice

as much for this quality and service. I'm so pleased

to come across Kelima on this site.
