    Love this dress I bought it twice

    I have fell in love with this dress. The colours, the fish and feeling cool in it is just wonderful. I first bought this dress in xl and after loosing a bit of weight bought it again in large. This dress was taken to Italy and also New Zealand so it is slowly going around the world showing off her beauty Although some may say it’s a very loud dress to me it give confidence and happiness

    Carpe Diem

    I did not seize the day on Carpe Diem when she first came out because my weird self thought the fishes’ eyes were spooky. Ordered it months later & I absolutely love those spooky fish eyes. I love that the fish are such a bright vibrant colour.

    Cheerful

    This dress feels like a summer day - bright and uncomplicated. I enjoyed wearing it when visiting South Florida because of the heat and humidity.

    Fits Swimmingly!

    I love this dress and look for any occasion to wear it. The fit is just right; it's roomy enough to be comfortable but tapered enough to be flattering. I plan to wear it through winter with a long-sleeved t-shirt and tights. I get compliments every time I put it on. So grateful to have found Zuri.
