Key points
Used with a limited set of fixed nouns, such as 黒ずくめ, いいことずくめ, 悪いことずくめ, ごちそうずくめ and 規則ずくめ. It often describes a whole situation or outfit and is neutral to positive in tone, though it can be negative (悪いことずくめ). Unlike だらけ, which describes something full of unwanted things such as errors (間違いだらけ), and まみれ, which describes something covered in dirt, blood, or other liquids (血まみれ), ずくめ is not about dirt or mess. Before a noun, use の, not な.
