      Purple and Gold

      Empire State (1X Long) is one of my favorite ZURI dresses! Besides wearing it as a lovely dress, I particularly like it open as a duster with Black or Purple underneath. It happens to work well for cheering on my alma mater, the University of Washington! "mighty are the ones who wear the purple and the gold". The range of this dress is incredible -- elegant yet not overwhelming! The yellow is more gold / mustard than bright yellow and balances the purple well. I'll be wearing this for years to come!

      Not my colours, BUT!

      Empire State's colours are definitely NOT for my skin tone, but I had to have it! I was happy to snag the last one in my size. The designs on the pattern are so beautiful, I should hang it up as a piece of art.

      Gorgeous

      Empire State arrived a bit darker than I was expecting, but the colors are rich, saturated, and gorgeous! The fit was perfect and just as expected. It was a lovely dress to wear to celebrate my fall birthday and will go into rotation for work, too. The weight is a bit heavier than some of my other dresses, perfect for fall and chillier days! (I purchased medium standard length, I'm 5'3", 170lbs.)
