Cape is just plain gorgeous! Makes me feel beautiful, magical and powerful. It elevates the simple black dress to a level of something regal.
Also, it is surprisingly comfortable! The weight has a calming effect and the padding around the collar is so soft.
The only thing I didn't like wasis the way it was packed. It was just rolling around in a box with three flimsy rolls of paper. While I appreciate the eco-friendly approach, international shipping is rough, and this was not enough padding.
The cape is beautiful. It did arrive with one of the tassels void of beads which were mainly in the box. But it is a beautiful cape. There were more unfinished thread tails than expected throughout from the photos but my background in beading should help to clean them up before I wear it out.
I will also likely try to reinforce the tassels further so that others don’t lose their beads once it is worn.
