It was worth the wait. This pattern is rich, feminine and dramatic. I’m debuting it tonight at a theatre festival in which I’ll be adjudicating A Streetcar Named Desire at the Opera House in Orillia Onatario.

The fabric for Serenade appeared on a bag and I immediately took note. It is a beautiful combination of my favorite colors: an orange/red, burgundy, greens, on a black background. I’m all about pattern and color, and this one works for me. Fabric is not very stiff so it’s easy to wear right out of those fateful Zuri bags.
- XJXandra J.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 weeks agoSuch a beauty
This Zuri is even more beautiful than on the pictures online. The rich colours, the intriguing background, I just love this dress! (I uploaded a picture of me at a Boro workshop too, because I was wearing Serenade and I used little pieces of fabric from various Zuri tote bags at the workshop)

This print is perfect to break Spring in with. The fit and feel is Awesome and I Love the Bright Hibiscus Flowers that Pop against the Green background. I wore it to my cousins 95th Birthday Celebration and it was a Stunner!!!
- EWElaine W.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars3 weeks agoGorgeous Floral Print
Stunning! I’ve been oversaturated with leaves and floral prints and fully expected to not be swayed by this one, but it’s truly beautiful. I love the almost cobweb lacy background showcasing the flowers and leaves - it’s the colors that grab me with this one. Ultra saturated, deeper jewel tones against a black background. It gives the print a very luxe vibe. I also like the placement of the red blooms on this dress I tried - how one is up by my face - red is my color already but having that red flower near my face ups the flattering factor.
Yes, I took this home even though I totally did not plan to based on the online photos -Zuri got me again! 😆🛍️♥️
