I wear a tank top underneath to hide the big 'ol bra, of course, and it's fitted at the bodice with a somewhat flowy skirt (not too voluminous). I just love the way it makes me feel, for some reason.Anchibridehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04364296511350544087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-3374972272713201602009-05-08T20:58:00.000-04:002009-05-08T20:58:00.000-04:00Im so glad they are still popular this season, I felt like they would die out from last summer even though i LOVED them<br />def a big must to get more!<br /><br />i think for petite shapes, an overall solid color would be best, patterns especially overwhelming ones might bring too much attention and give the person an even shorter appearance.<br /><br />xoxo<br />neira<br /><br />http://missneira.comNeirahttp://missneira.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-90728943228371094712009-05-08T11:35:00.000-04:002009-05-08T11:35:00.000-04:00I'm short and stumpy...I think that would look like a moo-moo on me...where's my hair curlers??Alabama Redheadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00138960252667731125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-52319079245254136952009-05-08T07:09:00.000-04:002009-05-08T07:09:00.000-04:00I'm 5"1 and curvy and just found one at Stein Mart! It has a v-neck and wide elastic "gathered" sleeves and elastic under the bust, so it doesn't make me look bigger than I am...so keep looking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-71531564674548486142009-05-07T20:04:00.000-04:002009-05-07T20:04:00.000-04:00I think I need to buy one - I really like those dresses.Khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05602481165732790955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-89745470878725976232009-05-07T17:16:00.000-04:002009-05-07T17:16:00.000-04:00I like maxi dresses a lot. But, they really don't make me look good at all. I'm curvy BUT petite so it does overwhelm my body. Sadly.

Pool, playground, library, etc. don't really fit the formality of the maxi dress, in my opinion.Sturgmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10581161838343365085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-30288294512766125492009-05-07T11:17:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:17:00.000-04:00im not sure why petites think they can't wear floor length dresses?? i think they look great a shorter than average women but that's just me!Budget Babehttp://www.thebudgetbabe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-22209791521182723712009-05-07T11:12:00.000-04:002009-05-07T11:12:00.000-04:00As a short girl, I have to say that I think that we can pull off maxi dresses. We just have to choose the right cut and wear non-flat shoes. Some dresses are cut less billowy. Those are the best.Kim @ The HLMNhttp://affordablefashion.thehlmn.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-40654815380787732622009-05-07T10:44:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:44:00.000-04:00Yes Maxi's can be worn by a petite person :) It's the same if you worn a prom gown or any other formal attire. I have several gowns from cruises. My dilema is finding one that is casual to wear around town. Tank style so I can wear a bra with it and make sure it gets hemmed to my ankles and not drag on the ground. But it's fun searching right now :)<br /><br />Hey Christina Lee - since it's been raining for 4 days now I finally bought those rain boots from your post on April 16th ;) LOL!Sherhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11724466373032206343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-21523963646546952332009-05-07T10:04:00.000-04:002009-05-07T10:04:00.000-04:00Boden is hawking a maxi dress that looks so sleek and elegant ... but I fear looking like a legless wonder!Salhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05316749500678318719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-49920971600446572172009-05-07T09:58:00.000-04:002009-05-07T09:58:00.000-04:00I might have to hunt something like this down and see how they look on. I sometimes feel like I have no waist, and wonder if these wouldn't make me feel like I was wearing a nightgown. I'd love the ease and comfort they look like they have, though.<br /><br />(and so off topic, but seriously, ever darn picture I see of the Jolie-Pitt kids, they are toting bags of Cheetos with them!)for a different kind of girlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04431273646365489225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-51855232242611635672009-05-07T08:47:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:47:00.000-04:00Lesa, I think yes, if done tastefully and minimally! <br /><br />Jane, I would try lighter/less fabric and see how it looks (like the Old Navy one on the far left)Christina Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01799776834213400246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-56679084767682389712009-05-07T08:34:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:34:00.000-04:00My daughter wears these to high school, doyou think they are ok for the the late 40's????Lesahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01738732651488533752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-83846681956633506022009-05-07T08:23:00.000-04:002009-05-07T08:23:00.000-04:00Do you think Maxi dresses can be worn by petite shapes?Janehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01351497943306272385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4145236456769195141.post-60653304018503546052009-05-07T07:50:00.000-04:002009-05-07T07:50:00.000-04:00soo cute!
