Dresses, jumpsuits, gowns, and modern Filipiniana—Karimadon offers different ways to dress for the holidays and the occasions that follow.
The office Christmas party calls for something festive; a December wedding comes with a color palette; a family celebration lands on the calendar. And suddenly, you’re planning outfits alongside gifts and dinner reservations. The useful find is something that suits the invitation, feels like your vibe, and leaves room in the budget. If you can wear it to another occasion, even better.
That’s where Karimadon’s range comes in. With ready-to-wear pieces and a custom design service, the local label gives shoppers options for different dress codes, personal styles, and plans.

Beyond the usual party dress
The selection includes occasion dresses, formal gowns, wedding gowns, jumpsuits, and matching sets. Whether you prefer a skirt or trousers, there’s room to look beyond your usual choice.
For events that call for Filipino attire, the brand also carries modern Filipiniana. These pieces offer another direction for weddings, company functions, and celebrations with a Filipiniana dress code. The occasion helps narrow the options, but comfort matters just as much. Try sitting and walking in a piece before buying it. A good fit should last through dinner and dancing, too.
Something for this party, and the next
Versatility also comes down to how you can wear a piece. Selected Karimadon dresses feature multi-way designs, allowing you to change the styling without buying another outfit. Different color options make it easier to work with an event’s requested palette.
For a budget reference, the online store lists a two-way dress at P2,799. Prices vary by design and may change, while custom pieces require a separate quotation.
Before choosing, picture the outfit beyond its first outing. A simpler dress or jumpsuit can take on a different feel with another pair of shoes, jewelry, or a jacket. That gives you more to work with when the next invitation arrives.

The new store in GH Mall is for ready-to-wear and custom designs
Karimadon’s Greenhills opening brings the brand back to the neighborhood where it started with a Virra Mall boutique in 1980. The store now sits on the third floor, South Wing of the new Greenhills Mall in San Juan City.
Ready-to-wear pieces greet shoppers at the entrance, while Karimadon Studio provides a private area for consultations, fittings, and dress pickups. Head designer Embi Nicolas says the custom service builds on more than a decade of creating pieces around customers’ occasions, fit, and individual style.
If your event is coming up soon, start by checking the ready-to-wear selection. For something personalized, book through the Studio appointment form and bring your references, budget, and event date. Ask about pricing and fitting schedules early, so the outfit is one less thing to rush.
