I am not tall but not short and love to wear them out to dinner and on sunday outings to "boulevard" shops. They are flowy, elegant and just what summer needs. They do not flash much but are still cool, comfortable and sexy!!! No downs there!!!!!!!!!! :) I love maxi dresses and have a few myself.

I'm not super tall or super skinny - but they are flattering nonetheless. The fabric never gets in the way and it's a very casual look with sandals. Not dressy at all. Very easy outfit and if the fabric is a classic pattern and good quality, it's not granola. Also, men loooooove them. ;) I love maxi dresses.

Vintage as well as new ones. I´m 5ft 2, and put them on with wedges. I put them day or evening. I don´t follow any rule about when I should put them and always receive compliments when I have them on:)) I´m in Europe, and I love my Maxis and I have quite a collection.

I agree with Stephanie--they would look great at a pool or beach party but I can't think of anyplace else I'd wear them.

(I can't wear it to a fancy evening function 'cause it's cotton.) Thanks! FWIW, I think the above dresses would look good at a pool party in Miami, but that's about it.

"Ugh. Been there, done that." I only like them when they're very lightweight, borderline sheer, but I haven't managed to jump on that train yet.
