Visible Monday #51: Karina Dresses Make Me Visible

patti 52 Comments

Welcome to Visible Monday #51! If you want to participate, it’s so
easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the simple how-to.

I’ve been a huge fan of Karina dresses for a long time, and when I saw the new version of  the “Audrey” dress, I was beyond delighted. This creation by Karina features one the most beloved style icons of the 20th century, in her classic Breakfast at Tiffany’s pose.

While in New York City, I had the privilege of meeting up with Karina and her partner at a cool Japanese restaurant, and the designer herself was wearing . . . Audrey! And looking fabulous. I was wearing a Karina Megan and feeling pretty sassy as well.

A few important tidbits about Karina designs:

  • The dresses are made from imported microfiber blend fabric with four-way stretch. They’re machine and sink-washable and perfect for travel, as I can happily testify.
  • Every dress is made in a limited edition print, produced in their Brooklyn facility.
  • “Made in the USA” means sparing the environment the gas, oil and diesel that is burned to transport most of our clothes.
  • Some of their styles fit up to a traditional size 20, and are designed for all figure types and all ages (yippee!). Karina and I shocked my husband when we told him we could swap dresses right there and still look perfect. (Her designs are amazing this way: Karina and I don’t usually wear the same size dress.)
Looks like I enjoyed my cocktails a bit too much . . .
Karina is so lovely inside and out.
I love this dress. I added a scarf-as-belt that picks up all the colors.
This is a great weekend/date/lunch look.
Oh yes, Audrey from the back view too.
And perfect for work (casual office) with a black tee and skinny belt.
