Karina needed a clothing brand that celebrated women and encouraged positivism. When women accept and adore themselves as they are, they genuinely believe in the inherent beauty of women. Their goal is to design gowns for every woman.

Karina enjoys thrift and antique shopping, cooking, volunteering, interior design, and founding and supervising their thriving clothes company. She is an avid animal lover, and you may have recognized her dog, Bodhi, in their logo! 

Karina Dresses Review: Sizing

Karina Dresses are available in sizes XS-3X. (in some styles, they also provide XXS and 4X). Their gowns are also quite stretchy. My usual dress size is six or medium. I may wear a size XS or a Small/Medium in Karina Dresses.

I recommend going down if you're between sizes on their size chart. The dresses are pretty elastic and forgiving; the smaller sizes fit better through the breast area for me. However, the larger size is preferable if you plan on layering underneath the dress (with a cami). I could quickly wear the outfit mentioned above with a camisole underneath.

Karina Dresses Review: Versatility

ALL of their Karina Dresses are highly adaptable, in my view. They look well with boots, heels, sandals, or sneakers. In cooler weather, I can pair them with tights or leggings. These dresses have been worn for days of touring, from visiting Russia to Jamaican resorts, expensive meals, work occasions, and everyday errands! In my perspective, they are helpful for almost anything. 

Karina Dresses Review: Price

The price tags on these outfits are understandable. They are high-quality gowns produced in the United States. They are not manufactured in a Chinese sweatshop. However, I recognize that this can make them costly. The average outfit cost $108 - a hefty sum (but, again, rightfully so).

Some gowns, however, are on sale towards the end of the season. These costs range from $68 to $88. (My Nora Dress is on sale for $68 right now.) Every year, they also hold a Black Friday and Cyber Monday deal. (These can range from 25% to 30% off the entire site.) 

Karina Dresses Review: Shipping

I've also had several inquiries regarding Karina Dresses' international shipping policies. They ship globally, and the cost varies based on where the box is going and how hefty it is. To give you an idea, when I lived in Moscow, Russia, having a dress shipped to my Moscow address cost roughly $22. 

Abigail Dress - Lemons

This dress is wrinkle-resistant, comfy, and adaptable. It's small enough to fit into any luggage! In my perspective, it is also a traditional cut and print. And it's manufactured in the United States! I'm completely addicted. They are a tiny dress manufacturer established in the United States specializing in creating comfortable dresses that can easily transition daily tonight.

Audrey Dress - Easy Breezy

The quality of this gown astounds me! It's well worth the money. (I also appreciate that it was created in the United States.) I like how it breathes nicely on a hot summer day and that I can wash it. (I've worn it and cleaned it four times already!) Did I mention it's wrinkle-free? Even when I'm not traveling, I like the fact that I don't have to iron or steam my clothes.

This dress comes with a nature-inspired monochrome print in black, white, and different hues of gray.

In my opinion, the only thing that could make this dress better is if it had pockets. I've become accustomed to my dresses having pockets, but this one doesn't. I also prefer midi or maxi dresses when traveling, so this dress is short for me. However, I haven't taken it off since it arrived in the mail, so none of them are a huge deal.

1. V-neckline crossover in front and back of bodice
2. Sleeveless
3. A waistline that drapes beneath your breast line is flattering.
4. Skirt to the knee
5. Stretch microfiber fabric (Polyester/Spandex) that is machine washable.
6. Made in the United States of America.
