I absolutely love this dress! Sober yet playful at the same time; elegant with just a hint of tongue-in-cheek "don't take me all that seriously". Fabric stiffer than usual, so more appropriate for the colder season - which actually works well with the print. Fit and cut as great as we've gotten used to by now. All in all, a winner, and a(nother) favourite!

I love Impasto for the many large patches of inky black in the pattern, especially since the only other color is white. From the moment I saw it I knew I would love it. The irregularity of the pattern is so appealing to me- there is an organic quality to it I find soothing. I revel in walking among the Redwoods while wearing this dress, accommodated by the heaviness of Impasto's fabric. It keeps me cozily warm!

I have quite a few Zuris, but this one works for professional situations as well as play. I ordered the long version with the intention of wearing it belted; even though I’m 5’3”, the standard length is too short for my tastes when belted. It’s a great pattern, easily at home as a duster at a jazz concert or at a meeting - and gets compliments in every setting.

- NWngarie W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars7 months agoImpasto fantastico!
Brilliant weight of fabric..great design for all seasons. Another fairly fast delivery to NZ even though tracking didn't update and still shows as undelivered.
My second Zuri dress and both receive loads of compliments. Folks even ask..."is it's a Zuri dress " and then they usually say that they'd feel confident to order having seen mine.
