​"With the story taking place in the 1800s, the accuracy of the fashion is somewhat imperative to transport people to the time period and costume designer Clara Jean Kelly 
does not miss a beat. Multiple actors are frequently switching characters in the show, and the costuming makes the navigation of it quite simple."

- Review of "Miss Holmes" at the Cincinnati Shakespeare Company on BroadwayWorld.com
"The creative team for Miss Holmes is a tour de force that takes audience members back to 1881 England with a simple yet expansive set design, robust lighting and sound, and thoughtfully curated costume designs. I wondered how Holmes’ costume would translate into that of a female role during a time period where it was frowned upon for women to wear pants. Designer Clara Jean Kelly’s choice of a “split skirt” was brilliant; it offered the feel of the classic masculine Sherlock Holmes look while also incorporating feminine elements."

"Costumer Clara Jean Kelly has outdone herself with a riot of colorful costumes for this production."
