For over a decade, the gowns of Uzuri International have had a prominent place in the wardrobes of Miss Jamaica World and Miss Jamaica Universe.
Uzuri pieces are hard to miss. Of course, they have their signature side cut-outs, the dare-to-be-bare slits and feather accents. These trademarks of Uzuri International continue to be seen year after year.

If it's an Uzuri design, there is bound to be cut-outs in the sides. Many times it's dramatic like this one worn by Yendi Phillipps Miss Jamaica World 2007.
No one does slits all the way up there like Uzuri, in this piece worn by Miss Jamaica World 2005, Terri-Karelle Griffith.
