First short sleeved shirt, intentionally bought a bigger shirt so I could have it tailored to have a more close fitting look. I love wearing this shirt post adjustment. Super comfortable to wear & can be dressed up or dressed down depending on my mood.
- MSMaria S.Verified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoLove the short sleeved shirts!
Not my usual colours but the shirt did not disappoint when it arrived. Love the orange and it’ll be fun to come up with some outfits for this shirt.

Wow! 🤩This is my 3rd short sleeve Zuri and love it. Brown, beige, black and bright terracotta make this pattern wearable either casually or formally. I received nothing but compliments- which is always the norm in any Zuri garment. I am in love. 🥰

Sillystring is my first short sleeved shirt! It's an excellent addition to my Zuri collection, perfect for those hot and humid days.
