    SPECTACULAR!!!

    I was going to see the Broadway musical Kimberly Akimbo and this dress popped into my head as the perfect Bright, Colorful and Joyful print for the show. I Love the colors and especially how much contrast and different angles there are in this design. The fit and feel is perfect and wearing this dress makes me so Happy!!!

    Love the day-glo 70s vibe!

    Reminds me of the black light posters I had up on my bedroom walls in 1975. My pictures don’t do this dress justice like Elaine’s do, but I sure do feel joy and nostalgia wearing Vortex.

    A feast for the eyes

    Such a dynamic print - this is my first Zuri dress where the pattern looks different from every angle. I also didn’t notice the blue dots on the print until I tried the dress on. They’re primary around where the pattern swirls so it reminds me of moons orbiting a planet.

    I took so many photos to capture how the pattern goes from straight lines to swirling ellipses. The colors are very bright - highlighter yellow, aqua blue, reddish orange - against a black background.

    I totally feel like a walking work of art in this dress - I love it!

    OMG THE COLORS!!

    Love this so much - and it actually layers with Hocis Crocus and Time Warp and more!!! Love the straighter striped in top and curved stripes at the bottom.

    Great after I got the right size!

    I had been "drooling" over this dress for weeks and finally ordered it in a 1X. But my shoulders are a bit narrow and the shoulders stuck out like I was wearing shoulder pads. The exchange process went smoothly and the XL is perfect!!
