Travel to New York brought me to the Zuri Mothership where I could try dresses and sizes to my heart's content. I never would have chosen this color or longer dress length but it was clearly a big thumb's up to my styling audience, my sister and daughter. For taller ladies, the long dresses' length fits just right. I get lots of compliments when I wear this colorful little number. This is a size small so that I am not overwhelmed by oceans of fabric, but means the shoulders are a little tight when I first put on the dress. The fabric does relax a bit with wear.

I was looking for a midi to wear with boots and this one is it! Beautiful design, well made - like all Zuri designs - and perfect for most occasions. I have several tops and dresses but I'm delighted to have midi's with long sleeves.

Samba is gorgeous and cozy. I wore it as a duster and it worked great. Could have read as a bathrobe but is structured enough not to. Thick fabric, warm on a windy day. The dress reads as a light blue even though the base blue is pretty bright. I didn’t give it five stars because I prefer the less busy version of the print. It’s on the back and sleeves and I wish it had been on the front. I’m normally an XL but I was nervous about too much fabric so I got the L. Itvwas a good call, though it was snug in the arms.

I was in NYC for a long weekend and my first stop was the Bleecker Street store. During an epic session of trying on so many Zuris, I decided to try a midi on just to see whether it could work on my curvy 5’3” frame. I was stunned. It’s definitely a lot of dress for a short person, however the silhouette is less voluminous and more of a true a-line than the classic Zuri silhouette. When it’s belted, it’s very flattering - the trick being to position the belt above the natural waist where your torso is narrowest. With a pair of boots, it’s a fantastic fall-winter dress. I’m absolutely thrilled with it and look forward to more patterns in this style!

Zuri Samba ist einfach nur wunderschön und genauso vielfältig zu tragen wie alle anderen Zuris auch.
Die Länge ist perfekt, auch die langen Ärmel, die für die Herbst/Winterzeit optimal ist.
Die Farben sind, wie gewohnt kraftvoll und leuchtend.
Ich liebe Samba.
