Karina has sent me several dresses to review. I am working with a group of fabulous bloggers during the Karina Dresstacular™ Event. All opinions are my own. My friend, Colleene, and I had a little “modeling shoot” and I just knew she’d look great in the Nora dress from Karina. With the polka dots and red pumps, she reminds me of a 50’s pin-up!

Up until now I had been hoarding all my comfy Karina dresses for myself. I thought it was time to share with a friend. Colleene agreed that it was one of the most comfy fabrics that she has worn. Although the dress is more fitted, it’s also very forgiving. This dress would look great throughout any small weight fluctuations.

This is another Karina dress that has pockets, which we love. Pockets in a dress makes it even more comfortable for some reason. Colleene agreed with me.

The dress features small shoulder cap sleeves, gathered pleated back bodice, v-cross front bodice, waistband and full swing skirt to the knee. I feel like it’s a little long for us short people, and may consider getting it shortened just a bit.

As with the majority of Karina dresses, there’s no ironing or special care required. The low maintenance and wrinkle-free fabric is such a bonus. You can grab this dress from a ball in the corner and wear it without anyone knowing. Not that I have ever done that {ahem}.

Make sure to subscribe to the Karina newsletter. They will keep you up to date and let you know about exciting giveaways just for subscribing.

Polka dot dresses are hot right now. The Nora is a great choice if you are looking for one. Choose from red & white, black & white, or navy & white polka dots. So cute!
