I feel like this is a gown Angelina Jolie would wear. The pale pink silk is amazing and soft, a great color for spring. It runs true to size, but I'd size down one as backup if you are smaller in the bust/hips. The gown itself is actually pretty heavy because of the cape feature, but it's super comfortable and flowy. The long-length was perfect on my 5'7" frame. The zipper is on the side of the bodice and there are also zippers at the end of the arms, which helps with getting the dress on. The shoulder pads also help lift the dress up and give it a more dramatic look. I would consider spanx with this look since the pale color really shows off your curves. Overall an amazing and unique gown!

I didn't get to wear this dress due to our unpredictably hot Houston weather, but it was my top pick! Would def rent again!!!

I wore this for a black tie mardi gra event in DC. It was a hit. The material was 'forgiving' as I just gave birth 4 weeks ago. If you are less than 5'6" then definitely need to wear 3.5+heels with this one or else the dress particularly in the back will drag and become a tripping hazard (I am 5'2"). Also the dress on the bottom wrinkles easily.

I wore this to the Washington, DC inaugural ball for the new mayor Muriel Bowser. The gown was an instant hit as soon as I walked into the doors. I was so ecstatic to have chosen this dress as my final choice once I received so much positive feedback from the audience that attended. The designer even commented on my picture I posted on instagram to tell how beautiful it was. #SuperAmped

i would wear this in a size smaller than you normally wear. and to an event where one is more stationary.

I had two options for a wedding I went to, I ended up not choosing this dress due to sizing issues (it also holds a lot of wrinkles!). I am normally a size 4 and don't deviate much from this, but this dress was baggy in the middle in the most unflattering of ways. It was too bad because it's an incredibly unique gown that is exceptionally well made. If you like form fitting gowns, possibly size down (or this dress may not be for you).
