As someone who is 6ft tall, finding clothing that fits well can be a challenge. Dara is the perfect antidote, creating clothing that is timeless and perfectly tailored. I've worn her well-crafted pieces to work, weddings, charity events and more. Dara herself is absolutely lovely and I look forward to my next visit to her atelier!

I have always struggled to find clothes that fit me well, and that strike the right balance between looking good for formal occasions and still expressing enough of my personality. Dara has been an excellent guide for me as I work on upgrading my wardrobe. She is clearly a master at what she does, but importantly, she also really listens to what I want and what I need in order to feel comfortable in something. I'm really pleased with what she's made for me so far, and I already have another order in progress.

The best clothing investment you can possibly make. Nothing feels better—or can make you feel better dressed--than a well fitted garment made of high-quality fabric. And nothing available at retail can possibly equal the fit of a custom-made suit. Dara uses the most beautiful fabrics available anywhere. She pays extraordinary attention to her clients and to every detail. All around a great experience.

Dara is an extraordinary designer who offers exemplary service and attention to detail. The quality and fit are superb. I've been wearing Dara's custom and made-to-order clothing for business and social occasions for over 20 years. I have both classic and high fashion garments and get compliments on clothing purchased decades ago. I love the fit, the fabric, and the confidence I feel when I wear my Dara originals. Absolutely a "Must have"!

I could never wear a dress. I went from store to store, Same thing nothing fit. I was convinced I could 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.

I have been going to Dara for years, and have been extremely pleased with her service and the quality of her clothing. These clothes fit perfectly and look new year after year -- it must be the quality of fabric she chooses. I gave up searching ready to wear for conservative (yet interesting) suits after wasting a frustrating weekend hitting every shop in NYC for just one decent non-black business suit. I just wish I'd found Dara sooner. While I'm not one to write reviews, Dara deserves six stars for a service she recently provided. When I bought my first suits, Dara said that they were designed to be altered if necessary, and should my shape change she would happily re-tailor the suits. Well, my shape changed dramatically after a sabbatical I spent hiking. I went to see Dara, and -- without question -- five suits and several other items were re-tailored to fit me perfectly. The suits are so well constructed and Dara is so skilled at fitting that the suits are like new. Dara was also able to match the fabric of a damaged skirt, so I suit I thought ruined is now perfect. Thank you Dara!

Clothes are pricey--they are investment pieces, not whim purchases--but they are long-lasting and the highest quality. Personalized service is also top-notch.

I went in for my first fitting (a couple weeks ago) and the clothes look and feel great. They're so nice in fact I ordered my overcoat for the winter and a couple more shirts. The pants and dress have to be taken in slightly but once that's done I'll finally be able to wear clothes that fits. I can hardly wait!
