Karina Dresses – Review (And a Giveaway)


Are you looking for a great mother day gift idea? Well how about a lovely dress that mom, grand mom and just about anyone will love?

Are you looking for a great gift for moms of all ages, a beautiful well made dress. Well I have the perfect gift for you. A dress from Karina Dresses Use the code SIMS30.  it’s good for $30 off any full price dress purchased

Here is a little more information about the owner of this amazing dress company, Karina Cousineau (from the website)


Karina Cousineau began her professional career as a lemonade entrepreneur at the tender age of seven. A practical gal, she grew up believing in the virtues of hard work and strong moral fiber. Despite all this, she chose a career in the fashion industry, where she toiled for 25 long years.

In 2007, she launched a little dress company from her home in Upstate New York with the vision of creating dresses for every woman. After working in production and design, Karina felt there was a real need for a fashion line that makes every “body” feel and look great, no matter what shape or size. She believes in the innate beauty of women when they accept and love themselves as they are.   Handmade in New York City from limited edition fabric, Karina Dresses are both classic and fashion-forward. Through an ongoing dialogue with storeowners and clients, Karina creates a feeling of a custom collection with great attention to fit, quality and style. Additional features of the dress also speak to the special needs of customers seeking travel and maternity clothes.


I was very fortunate to be able to review a Marisa sleeveless dress 





As you might remember I did a review for Karina, a few months ago and I am a big fan of the company.

When the dress arrived, I was just wowed with the color it is an amazing blue.  The quality is wonderful , this is something you can expect from Karina. The dress was made with an imported microblend fabric, it is machine washable.

The dress is a light teal, with very light pink dots, it is a wonderful spring/summer dress. This will be great on hot days, I will be able to wear this for picnics, cookouts and I could even wear this to work (for work I may pair this dress with a sweater, it is so cold in my workplace) this will be comfortable all day and not get wrinkled. I am planning on wearing this dress for mothers day this is one great dress.


As I said before, I just love that this dress is made right here in the United States, that is a great thing. The dress is made right in NYC.  I feel that my grandmother and I could wear this dress, don’t think of that as a bad thing! Oh no, I think it is wonderful that this dress would look just as good on my 75 year old grandmother as it does on me. This is a classic style, that works wonders on your figure, and works with all ages.  You can wear this dress during pregnancy, and after, now that is a great value.

So if you are looking for a dress that will fit your curves,  and would also work as a maternity dress, now that is versatile. This will look great even if you have no curves. If you are 20 and just starting out on your own, this is a great dress for you, or if you are a stylish 80 year old grandmother this will still look great. The dresses are $160 you really get what you pay for though. This may be a high cost for some. But you will get a dress that you will have for a very long time, and you will love it trust me!  This dress it a great investment.  Because Karina is “Celebrating women 18 to 80 easy wear, easy care”. Styles are always changing, Karnia gets fabrics of all shades and patterns so make sure to buy what you love quickly, everything is made in a limited batch.

Did you know that Karina Dresses were featured in . Travel & Leisure Magazine the mentioned how great the dresses work as travel pieces. I will be packing this dress for our upcoming Disney vacation. This will be great for a nice dinner out with the family. And this dress is so versatile, I am sure I can wear some flip flops with it and it will still work!

So if you are looking for a great Mother’s Day gift idea, I would recommend Karina Dresses, you will get a quality dress that you will love, you will love the feel of the dress, you will love the fit of the dress, and you will be a fan of Karina forever trust me.
