Midi Length Dresses? Right for you?

June 7, 2014 By Shelley Zurek 59 Comments

Karina Dresses “Tracy” brings the Flowers for Spring

Blog Note: Whoot! I was provided a classic Karina Dresses Tracey for this “Midi Length” review! Midi Lenghth Dresses 2   The Chief Blonde is wearing Karina Dresses Tracy in Aqua Poppy Print ($158), Silver and Turquoise Necklace (similar), Loft Cardigan (similar), Michael Kors Bag($298), Seychelles Shoes (similar). 

The Midi, my love/hate relationship

I have a love hate relationship with midi length dresses. I love how they cover my legs, give me that 40s  (as in 1940s) look, and make me feel secure that my butt will always be covered.  The bad part about a midi length dress, for me, is that I often feel swallowed up by it. Also, this length was popular in the mid-80s,  so I am hesitant to bring that era back.

Karina Dresses Tracy, a midi length dress

This Tracy dress from Karina dresses is really the best of both worlds in the land of midi length dresses. It is a midi length but because it’s a t-shirt/sheath cut it looks great without the engulfing nature of most midis.

Kariana dresses Tracy Midi Length dresses

Like all Karina dresses, the Tracy is made right in the USA in Brooklyn, NY! All Karina Dresses are machine washable and wrinkle-free (perfect for spring breaks or summer vacations). I would advise this dress for anyone with an hour glass figure like me!  It was not as fitted around the breast area as many of the Karina styles are.  You can find this dress right now in this print or in some fun paisleys. But hurry, the fabrics are limited and when they are gone they are gone.

Will YOU be wearing the new Midi length dresses this time around?

    I like for my dresses to hit just below the knee. Maybe it isn’t in fashion, but I like the coverage. As you were saying, I feel secure in it. Even better is that this dress is made in USA. Love that!

    That is a flattering shape, and it would work for many occasions. I love the colors as well.

    I think one of the things I like about this dress is that you don’t have to wear something under it to rescue a plunging neckline.

      That’s true Jeanine and I hate ruining the lines of the design but I hate the girls hanging out too! Shelley

    Commenting again because I misunderstood the giveaway instructions the first time and posted comments on all the blogs the first day. Now I know I’m supposed to do one a day. 🙂

    I love the teal flowers. Your sweater matches the dress perfectly.
