Working with Kiko on my wedding gown was wonderful!…read more I was searching constantly and having no luck finding a dress that I both liked and could afford. When I tried things on, even if I liked the style, I was often unimpressed with the quality of the fabric and stitching. Then there was trying to imagine what it would really look like after being altered, and I was just never sure I was going to love the finished product. As soon as I started working with Kiko, the stress of the dress hunt was gone! I wanted a dress that was both elegant and simple, and one I would be comfortable moving around in. Kiko made me a custom dress that fit me perfectly--size, shape, personality, and budget. Kiko is a master of both design and craftsmanship. I sent him some photos of dresses I liked, along with a description of how I imagined combining elements I'd seen to create the perfect dress for me. At our first meeting, applying his artistry and expertise to my vision, he drew a sketch and brought my idea to life right before my eyes! We then met regularly as he started creating the dress from the inside out, making sure that every piece fit perfectly. Kiko is extremely organized and the dress was ready in plenty of time before the wedding. The quality is superb. I didn't spend half my budget on my dress, and yet I felt like a million bucks. My dress was so comfortable, I danced all night long! But if you want a super complicated design, he can do that too. If having a dress made for you has ever crossed your mind, you will not regret meeting with Kiko for a consultation. I just assumed that I would not be able to afford couture; but Kiko's prices are very competitive. And you get exactly what you want! Priceless! Being able to wear my very own unique, high-quality dress on my wedding day was priceless and made me feel like a queen. I cannot recommend Kiko highly enough!

In my case, I must not have portrayed well what I wanted, and they did not pull the correct things. The three hour fashion show of new clothes they pulled for my new look was all wrong. That said, Darcy bent over backwards to adjust their fee and was fully apologetic and workable in recognizing this was a miss. We all wonder when we pay $450 for a service if it will be worthwhile.

First, in our Zoom consult she quickly understood the gaps in my wardrobe and the aesthetic that I wanted. Second, nearly every garment she bought for me fit well, giving me a huge selection of items to choose from. Third, I appreciated the range of styles she brought. Many were just what I'd asked for, and some pushed my comfort zone a bit. Fourth, she shopped at many stores and avoided that "store mannequin" look. Fifth, she found several beautiful, quality pieces that were on sale, so my final clothing tab was well under our planned budget. Sixth, she was very efficient with the in-home closet audit. We cleared out items that I wasn't wearing or didn't match my syle, and I have new appreciation for the items that I kept. She also gave me great recommendations for how to organize my entire closet, and I'm utilizing the space much better now. I ended up buying 12 pieces across nearly every clothing category. Now, stepping into my closet is a pleasurable, low-stress experience. Maggie was also a fun woman to spend 6 hours with, and I greatly appreciated her hard work, expertise, and companionship through the process. I would definitely work with her again. Thank you Maggie and Styled Seattle!

I was fortunate to find my wedding dress at Christinbridal, and they accommodated all of my needs to make sure my dress is perfect and will arrive on time for my wedding in may 2024. They also made arrangements to set me up with their seamstress who was able to confirm that all alterations I was seeking were possible and they would work together to ensure my dress met my expectations. I specifically want to point out the consultant, Christinna, who helped me find my dress. She was incredibly kind, helpful, and exceeded my expectations with every gown she brought out after I told her only a few details of what I was looking for. I highly recommend this store to go wedding dress shopping, the customer experience was one for the books!

I first worked with Mellicia back in 2014 ...12 years ago. I wanted to update my review because…read morehonestly, I don't think I fully appreciated back then - when I wrote my original review how much Mellicia has helped me over the years at different times and stages of my life. Because Mellicia knows me, my style, and what I like, we don't have to start over each time I reach out. She's helped me over the years refine what we started together back in 2014 - sometimes my priorities or budget is different, sometimes my size and situation is different, but she gets it - she knows that that's how life is - and is always helpful AND supportive as she gives me these bursts of inspiration and guidance. Over the years, I've gone back for updated wishlists, closet edits (I choose to have her help me configure new outfits with what's in my closet in that moment - it's been so helpful to have a gallery of options on my camera roll for busy mornings) or the occasional one-off help with something specific for an event. All of these combined services that I can choose from takes the overwhelm out - it's like a menu of services that can be curated. Choosing from those services helps me cut through the noise and create options that just work for whatever situation I find myself in that feel and work just for ME, not just what's trending - and that's always been so important because I value my personal style, that she's helped me find! I've also really loved being part of her online community (Continuum) this past year - I'm so glad I've got access to this group, which is basically a wonderful community of women who share shopping and styling ideas, inspiration, gift ideas, tips and tricks - there are even moments to connect monthly live - as we put the tools and guidance that Mellicia has taught us all into practice with each other - it's like a force multiplier! It's been quite unexpected how valuable it's been. What I think I appreciate most - is that working with Poplin has never felt like just a one-time styling service, which is what I've experienced before with other stylists. Working with Mellicia feels like a genuine relationship - honestly, I can go a couple of years without checking in, and then come back for a little refresh, and we just pick up where we left off - like an old friend that gets you! Mellicia always meets me in the moment I'm in with zero judgment - and I'm so grateful. Looking back, this investment over the years in ME has been soooo worth it! Not only do I refresh my clothing items, I now know how to understand my own style - and this is something I have honestly taken for granted for the last decade +. Thank you Mellicia and Poplin! I have recommended her to several of my friends over the years - and I (still) recommend her whole-heartedly to you! Mellicia is much more than a stylist to me - she's like a stylish friend and a genuine life-hack, which is what we all need!

I've worked with Mellicia at Poplin for 7+ years, through big changes in my body, career, and life,…read moreand she is truly wonderful at what she does. She's helped me navigate size 16 - 10, and every step and body shape between. What I value most is that she hasn't just dressed me -- she's taught me how to dress myself. I'm now genuinely confident shopping for myself, putting outfits together, understanding what works on my body, and knowing when tailoring or proportion will make the difference. At this point, I usually reach out to Mellicia when I want to be challenged or make a bigger style change. She always manages to stretch me without making me feel like I'm wearing someone else's clothes. And she is just really fun to spend time with. Warm, funny, thoughtful, and genuinely invested in her clients. She is an insanely great, fun person. I never leave her with just outfits. She's changed my life with her advice, outlook, and perspective. Plus she is so well connected in the community and is so passionate about local charities and politics! I recommend Poplin wholeheartedly.
