I'm not giving up on my quest for the perfect maxi-dress. So far, the ones I've tried on look luscious on the hanger, but in the dressing room I talk myself out them. I truly love the look - and think it would be perfect for an outdoor party or dinner with friends and the vibe is so totally bohemian chic, which is my favorite of all vibes-- its just so much fabric that it really needs to lay right in order to work. It's fine line between
carefree glamor and
my mother's nightgown.
Because I've dragged my feet on purchasing one and there's just about 7 weeks left of summer -- I'd love one that I can wear into the Fall. Since its still pretty hot here in Texas through October, I just need to find one whose colors can make the seasonal leap. The dresses above fit that bill.
Are you a maxi-dress wearer? Any other places I should scope out for the perfect fitting maxi?
I finally found one I love and bought it....grey, super soft jersey with a knot under the chest. Looked slightly "maternityish" on the hanger but I took the leap and it's cute on. Max Studio I think (which probably means I found it at either TJ Maxx or Marshalls).
ReplyDeleteIn that book I have, "How to Never Look Fat Again," maxi dresses are on the always avoid list. I think if you are tall and lean, they work, and if you have curves and are under 5'10, probably no.
