I wore this dress for an Edgar Allen Poe event that I took myself yo for my birthday. I got many compliments and felt unstoppable.

This absolutely made my day. I love that you took yourself to an Edgar Allan Poe event for your birthday — and even more that you felt unstoppable in the dress. That is exactly how I hope every woman feels when she wears one of my designs. Thank you so much for sharing this. 🖤

Made me feel like an absolute goddess! I got the Cypress dress in emerald/gold is absolutely incredible with my firey red hair. I wore it to a film commission gala and have never felt more stunning in my life. The fit was absolutely perfect - I was initially worried about potentially showing too much in the booty area, but the cut and lines were exactly right for a sophisticated, elegant look.

The color combination is gorgeous and photographs beautifully - I got compliments and photo requests all night long. Multiple people told me I was the best dressed at the event, which honestly never happens to me, so you know this dress is something special.

The quality is exceptional and the design is both timeless and striking. It's one of those pieces that makes you stand taller and feel more confident the moment you put it on. The fabric moves beautifully and the construction is flawless. She absolutely nailed it with this piece. It's the kind of dress that makes an event memorable and makes you feel like the best version of yourself. Worth every penny for a show-stopping piece that photographs like a dream and makes you feel like you own the room.

This honestly meant the world to read.

So much intention went into the lines, movement, and balance of this piece, and hearing that you felt confident, elegant, unforgettable, and fully yourself in it is exactly why I created it.

Thank you for wearing it so beautifully — and for taking the time to share this experience so thoughtfully. ✨

The size is slightly too large. I will order the emerald one in medium.

Dress is well designed and wears comfortably

This dress is a dream. It is incredibly flattering and comfortable. I have literally never worn it and not gotten countless compliments.

A dress should never wear the woman. It should amplify her.
Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for wearing the piece so beautifully.

The Mermaid Sequin Dress is stunning. I wore it on vacation and loved it. The fabric catches the light beautifully. I love the open back and the fit shapes the body in an elegant and flattering way. The silhouette feels secure and comfortable.

As a woman in my sixties, I appreciate pieces that feel timeless and sophisticated. This gown proves style has no age limit. I received many compliments and felt radiant wearing it.

Beautiful design, thoughtful craftsmanship, and a truly special dress. I look forward to wearing it again.

We love this so much.

There is something especially meaningful about hearing a piece felt both sophisticated and effortless to wear. That balance of elegance, comfort, and presence was deeply intentional in this design.

Thank you for such a thoughtful review and for reminding people that true style only becomes more powerful with self-possession.

Erika, thank you so much. ❤️ “ART YOU CAN WEAR” is exactly what I hope these pieces feel like. I’m so happy Cypress found her way to you — I hope you feel absolutely unforgettable every time you wear her.

This dress is stunning. I jokingly call it dangerous. I have a very different body type than the model and it's still incredibly flattering.

Thank you so much. Hearing you describe this dress as 'dangerous' is honestly one of the highest compliments.

I love that you felt amazing in it, even though your body type is different from the model's.
This dress wasn't made for one body type. It was made for women who want to feel unforgettable.

The design of the flames is gorgeous and sparkly and the dress fits like a dream

This dress is magical!

Thank you so much.
Pieces like this were made to feel a little unforgettable. ✨

Perfect fit. I ordered a Large and I’m 5’5”, 151lbs. I like that the additional ring enclosure at the slit was an option. Love that this is locally made near Seattle

Amazing design!

Black/Silver / XL

This dress is off-the-chart-gorgeous! And it is just so comfortable to wear. The velvet fabric stretches just enough in all the right places, and I feel tall and stunning when I put it on! Can't wait to strut the red carpet! in my Anna Flowers gown!!

This made us smile so much.

Feeling both stunning and comfortable in a piece at the same time was exactly the intention behind this design. And hearing that it makes you feel tall, radiant, and red-carpet ready means everything to us. ✨

Thank you for such a beautiful review.

Most chosen.

The Cypress was not designed to decorate a woman.
It was designed for the moment she decides.

Named for my daughter, Cypress — who walked for me at London Fashion Week — and for the tree, this piece is rooted in resilience and quiet defiance.

Cypress trees grow where conditions are harsh. They do not bend to be liked. They rise anyway.

This dress does the same.

It does not ask your body to behave.
It does not require apology.
It meets you where you are — and allows you to take up space.

Created for movement and balance, each piece is produced in small, intentional runs, guided by presence rather than trend.

This is not fast fashion.

This is a decision.
