Cute story about maxi dresses

[Bernadine]

I just got one and was all excited to where it out. I come down the stairs and my dad was sitting on the sofa and was like "is that what you're wearing? A GOWN?!?"

lol, yes, Dad. I'm wearing a cotton gown out to the bar.

So tell me more about these maxi dresses. I feel as though I'd look like I was wearing a moomoo. Do they accentuate the good parts of the body and hide the others?

I'm short and chubby and I didn't even try them on for a long time because I thought it would make me look too dumpy, but I actually think mine looks pretty good on me.

H doesn't understand them, either. He thinks that length dictates fancy. Hitting the floor = Cinderella ball.

I just bought a maxi skirt for the first time and I LOVE IT! It reminds me of the super-long skirts I was into in high school. And it's awesome to wear in the summer because it keeps the mosquitos off my legs.I might have to buy a maxi dress.

Does a cardigan look good over them? I'm so worried about my arms this summer.

I previously hated them because I'm really tall and have big hips/small waist, so they always hit me at the shin and I felt like they made my whole body look the width of my hips. But I found a tall girl one recently and I'm much more pleased. It has some shape at the top so I don't look like I'm all hips.

I think so. google it! I'm sure you'll get an idea whether or not you like the look.

I hate maxi dresses, but I like the idea of them.

Can you be cute in clothes that you hate?

I love them. I hate wearing jeans in the summer but can't find any cuter casual skirts and forget shorts.

I work as an administrator at an art college, and maxi skirts and dresses are standard "uniform" here. I love that they are in style right now and I can find lots to choose from.

They are comfy and can be cute if you find ones that are cut right for your body.
