I was really looking forward to this dress because in the early photos it looked like a rich, dark navy. I was disappointed to find that it was in fact black (thanks to the colors listed in the product description, because it still looks very blue in the listing photos), but decided I would give it a try anyway, as I have no black Zuri dresses in my collection. I will probably try to wear it with dark navy and black, because there is a slight bluish tinge to the grey areas- or maybe wishful thinking on my part!
The material is typical of the batiks- medium weight with some stiffness- and it would be a five star dress if it weren’t for the little puffs of fabric on the shoulders where the sleeves are sewn on. I’m not sure what is happening that a few of the more recent dresses have this issue, but it’s not ideal. L
