I wasn’t taken immediately with this print due to the small scale print and softer level of contrast ( it’s beige and black vs white and black). At a distance the pattern kind of greys out and gives an overall subtle look - so different from most of my Zuri dresses and shirts that tend to be bolder in color and pattern.
However several weeks after its release it continued to whisper to me to give it a second look. I happened to be trying on other dresses at Fillmore and saw that there was just one of this print left in my size so I took the plunge and purchased it.
It’s going to be one of those go-to dresses when I need something that can literally wear anywhere. It’s like a blank canvas - so great to show off statement jewelry and layer over a shirt or sleeveless dress.
The fabric feels a tad more crisp and substantial than the usual midweight and soft to the touch characteristics of most of my Zuri dresses and shirts. The pattern also reminds me of Keith Haring doodles - it’s aptly named! I love that on the dress I purchased one of the squiggles forms a perfect heart shape at the center of my collar.
