to think that Maxi dresses are 'orrible and make everyone look like a cross between Mama Cass and her from Abigail's Party

[GetOrfMoiLand]

They are awful.

I am very tall and thin and they make me look like a chubby shortarse.

Plus (and this is the real point I think) I remember wearing one walking tipsy up some stairs and trop on the front of the dress, causing me to stumble and headbutt my own knee.

So, if you want to wear one and look like a boho throwback, be careful.

[NotShortImHotCrossBunSized]

Oooh I love Malibu. With anything, I'm not fussy

Actually I pretty much drink anything!

Any other smokers coming or am I going to be Billy no mates outside by myself?

[chocolatecoveredlissielou]

I have two vest type maxi dresses (jersey) and two 3/4 sleeve ones and I look ace in mine so nerh, I am a size 8 and 5ft2, but have long legs. they fit me well though.

[NotShortImHotCrossBunSized]

Oh dear, I thought I looked quite nice in mine!

I have 2. I shall wear them all summer anyway burn them immediately.

[BitOfFunnyBunny]

I think the vital thing I need to know really, GetOrf, is whether one should go commando in said maxi dresses?

[gordyslovesheep]

I look fat in everything though to be fair

[PunkPixie]

I don't like them much myself. I've got an hourglass figure and I think they make me look faaaaat. I feellike I'm floating around with a mu'umu'u on. I have a friend who pulls them off really well though.

[forehead]

I'm 5ft 7 inches and size 8-10 and i hate maxi desses. Everyone looks fat in them.

[TrillianAstra]

I like that one Crispy.

Where are you that you are allowed to smoke upstairs anyway GetOrf/ Finish your fag then go up the stairs.

[MrsGravy]

I used to think this but then I found the Holy Grail. A Maxi Dress that actually makes me look slim. Well slimER. It's not a magic Maxi Dress after all. It's not all billowy, it's a bit more fitted and I love it. So YABU. So there.

[GORGEOUSX]

YABU - If you're slim/tall they can look very elegant.

[OliPolly]

YABU

I am 5'8", size 10 and love maxis!

[whatsallthehullaballoo]

Shit bags...I was going to buy loads for this summer, I thought they would be my saviour.... whatever will I wear now

[Grandhighpoohba]

I wear them, 70's billowing style. And yes, they make me look fat. But that is because I am fat. Find me the outfit that makes me look like Kate Moss, and I'll wear it. Until then, I'm wearing my maxi dresses. [sticks out tongue emoticon]

[southeastastra]

really dislike them, they were in last year too - suppose it takes a year or so to reach the burbs.

haven't seen one person look nice in one and i saw at least 12 in hemel hempsted on saturdays

[52Girls]

Anyone got a paper bag???

[xstitch]

I am planning to buy a couple for the summer so I can fit in them without buying a maternity dress

[ConstanceFelicity]

I wore them all last summer and I look like a turd in the photos.

[chickchickchicken]

maxi dress was from asda and crocs were pink.
hope you read this lying down

[52Girls]

Maxi dress AND Crocs??

I need a lie down in a darkened room.

[WhatsWrongWithYou]

Well I'm 5'7'' with big boobs and weigh 10st and I say avoid avoid avoid.
They visually expand the area you take up imo. < free physics lesson >

My aim in dressing is to shrink that area where I possibly can, and maxis definitely do not aid in this crucial process.

[chickchickchicken]

i walked the dogs in my maxi dress and crocs today. it was warm and i wanted comfortable clothes and footwear

[PureBloodMuggle]

Yes I am.*

Mwa ha ha ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar

[52Girls]

Are you stalking me for my seriousness-ness, PBM?

Are you???!!

[52Girls]

Yes, I take everything I read seriously. Of course I do. Don't you.

[TragicallyHip]

I look utterly fabulous in mine

You need the right shape, I do agree some make you look pregnant.

I have one that is elasticated at the waist so it skims over my stomach.
