Karen Roberts New York

Karen Roberts New York One style, and variations on the theme. Classic American style. Simple, chic and elegant. An iconic Day dresses, Day to evening dresses, and After 5.

Simply elegant day dresses (and evening dresses too!), that's how it all started. One style (and variations on the theme), but we believe the best style. Beautiful sheath dresses crafted and sewn in the heart of the Garment District, New York City. We produce our dresses in a multitude of fabrics, colors, patterns and textures. And we continuously produce new dresses in frequent, small lot product

ion runs so you will have lots to choose from, for any occasion at any time of the year. Simple dressing, simply elegant! Karen Roberts

After a long and successful career on Wall Street, Karen Roberts returned to a subject of interest that has always been near and dear to her: Fashion. A model for a very notable New York modeling agency in the early 70s, Karen was always interested in the "other" side of the fashion business, the production and design side. Line, form and function being of utmost importance. Decades later, frustrated with the inability to find simple and elegant dresses for herself, she decided to try to design and produce the perfect dress in beautiful fabrics imported from around the world. This is an evolving story... stay tuned!

Flashback to Gala 4/1/2025 captured by FIT artist and prof in my Abstract Gold “After 5” sheath and Ivory Organza Bolero. It was a beautiful evening celebrating the work and legacy of retiring Dr Joyce Brown as President after 27 years at the helm!

Hello again! As the summer winds down and we prepare to move into the next phase of KarenRobertsNew York, I thought I’d share a photo of me in my new Theory white linen dress purchased at a deep discount at Saks!It’s rare that I wear another designer’s dress but this one jumped out at me from the sale rack! I’ve always loved the simple lines and elegant look of Theory’s collections. In fact it was a simple black Theory sheath dress from 1992 that got me thinking about the concept behind KarenRobertsNewYork. “One style, but we think the best style. Classic American Style. Simple, chic and elegant.” Have a great rest of the summer and see you in September at karenrobertsnewyork.com!

I am writing to let you all know that I will be closing my store in NYC February 28th to pursue a new avenue of distribution. We will continue our online presence at KarenRobertsNewYork.com and resume Trunk Shows at hotels and at other retail stores as in the past.

It has been a great three-year run and I am thrilled to have met many new clients from the neighborhood and beyond! We hope you'll stop in and take one last look at the store's selections that are still on sale!

Thank you all for your encouragement and support in this venture! I hope to see you all soon,

Karen Roberts
