Mikarose Review & Giveaway!


Mikarose
is a lovely online dress shop that offers modest, elegant, and stylish dresses for women and children at a reasonable price. In addition, Mikarose has just released a beautiful new line of tops.

Here is what the owner of Mikarose had to say, “Our company's idea evolved when the owners realized how difficult it was to find modest dresses in today's market. We are sure you have had similar experiences when looking for a modest dress. After many frustrating outings, we formed Mikarose. Our goal is to provide an extensive line of modest dresses, without having to sacrifice style. You will be able to wear our line to a broad range of functions: from everyday events to corporate parties. We hope to not only meet the needs of women looking for modest wear, but all those who are seeking elegant dresses.”

Review
When Mikarose contacted me about hosting a review and giveaway, I was thrilled. As soon as I looked through their online store, I fell in love with the Elizabeth dress. I was lucky enough to try the Elizabeth dress in black for myself. This is a sophisticated dress with a lovely cowl neck. This dress is nice enough to wear to a formal event but can easily be worn to a more casual event as well. The Elizabeth dress has a band seam along the mid-section, which creates an A-line skirt on the bottom half of the dress. This style is great because it has a slimming effect through the midsection. The Elizabeth dress also comes in brown.

When I tried this dress on for the first time, I was extremely impressed; it fit like a glove. I love absolutely every aspect of this dress. I love the cowl neck because it really adds a touch of sophistication to the dress. I love the overall shape of the dress because it makes me feel taller, elegant, confident, and slimmer. This dress has a hidden zipper on the side of it that makes the dress easy to get in and out of. Finally, my favorite part of the dress had to be the fabric. This dress is made from 100% polyester and is lightweight. This dress has a slinky feel to it, which allows it to skim over each of your curves gracefully. This has quickly become my favorite dress in my closet.
