where can I get a maxi dress that isnt 10 ft long?

[erinreilly30]

who are all the amazon women that these dresses fit??!!
I held up some to my body and I'd have to wear it around my head to skim the ground haha
I'm 5'2 and can not find a "short" maxi dress. I would rather not order one, i'd like to try it one first.
does anyone know where I can find one?

btw....i've tried Old Navy, Loft, and Target already :N:

omg, i have the same problem. i want mini-maxis!!!

[rhiannon]

Have you tried Kohl's?

Hemming. It's amazing.

[rhiannon]

You can always buy a long one and have it tailored, as well. It should be pretty cheap for a hem.

Just buy regular length dresses for normal people. They will be long enough. YWIA.

are you high?

I'm no help. When they're not too long, wait, no, even when they're too long they still just make me look 8 years pregnant. I love them on other people but I'll never be able to pull them off and it makes me sad.

So unfair because EB rocks them and I look 8 years pregnant lol I love that phrase.. 8 years pregnant.

Awww, thanks :-)

I second hemming. I just took two dresses and two pair of shorts to the tailor yesterday and I'm 5'7.

I am one of those Amazons. I am 5'9" in bare feet and 6' in heels. I love maxi dresses with all of my heart.

The problem is when you're cheap and purchase most of your clothes from H&M, the hemming is as much as the dress! Wah!

GAP sells petite ones and I think ON does too. Most (chain) stores do actually, check online

[fuckyourcouch]

I am also one of those amazons, except the maxi dresses usually come to my shins or just above my ankles. sigh.

idea: get yours hemmed, and send me the extra fabric to sew to the bottom of mine.

I found a few at Macy's, I'm 5'3 and I wasn't tripping over mine, I forget the brand but it was one of their really inexpensive lines, think I paid $30 for it.

Nordstrom Rack had a TON that fit me well, I'm 5'3" with short legs.
