If you are unique in style and want what is in your imagination. The style no other retailer boutique has, and you want to be the only one OKW is the place to go. This boutique being small and cozy with rolls of fabric and creations in the work, is only apart of it. The best part is the creator, the mastermind behind making you unique, and thats Waheeda. I was going to a wedding in March 2020 and desperately wanted to stand out in my uniqueness, and someone referred her. I hesitated in calling because everyone else was saying you should have done this 3-6 months ago, and to be honest, this was last minute, so i said, why not? They can just say no. I called and explained everything, and without hesitation, she made time in her schedule. I called this professionalism when every deadline was met, and i walked away very pleased with her creation and how she catered to my unique style is the best feeling. I am writing this review now, a year later because of covid, the wedding was canceled, and the dress/jumper did not have its debut, and i just tried it on, and i still love it. I wanted to thank Waheeda for all her effort, time, understanding, and patience to pay attention to the details and made me feel like i was her only client.

The mix of beautiful fashion and art makes this a fun place to shop. The owners are warm. If they do not have what you want, they even make suggestions for where you may find it. I'll be back!

Cannot recommend this place enough. There is NOTHING like it in Boston. Totally unique clothing & art -- makes for perfect gifts to those you love! Also, Ibrahim is extraordinarily talented and generous. I enjoyed conversing with him just as much as I did seeing all the spectacular things in his store! Thank you Ibrahim for taking such good care of me and my clients at Musicians Playground! -Alyssa

The owner of the store, Waheeda, is a very talented and experienced tailor, designer and dressmaker. (And a beautiful person!) I took her a dress that fit me perfectly and asked to have it made in different fabrics. Though it appeared simple, the dress was actually very complicated and had a lot of details. Waheeda helped me pick two great fabrics and a couple of months later I had the dresses. They are perfect. Every detail was done with care and attention and the fabrics she helped me choose are lovely. I actually love the reproductions more than the original - maybe having something made just for you makes it feel better, or maybe she put a little extra tailoring in them, but they are just exquisite and timeless. The fabrics she carries are very high quality. I chose an organic hemp from Oregon and an Italian cotton that is stiff, with a slight sheen. Both fabrics are of a higher quality than the original. It didn't seem possible that the original could be improved upon, but that's what happened. Okw is the place to go if you want high quality tailoring or dress making. Absolutely recommended for women who care about quality clothing and great fit. Waheeda and Ibrahim will take care of you and make you feel beautiful.
