fecking NORA maxi sundresses

[lumbago]

ENOUGH ENOUGH ENOUGH of your horrible elasticated floral shitbags.
i hate these things

Rather like them myself.

yes not a fan myself.
but its ill fitting vest tops I save my ire for. Jesus wept.

how ill fitting?

boob spillage
too clingy showing off ill fitting bra with back fat
i just can't get onboard.

unless you look like this in one Forget it!

lol

What is wrong with maxi dresses? I'm tall and slim and wore mine yesterday and thought it looked fine. I have just been to visit a (slim) friend and she looked lovely in her maxi dress as well.

They cover up a multitude of sins and I will wear mine all summer if the weather continues like this.

Or is it jealousy?

Bunbaker, you forgot to add your smug emoticon....

So what are we supposed to be wearing in this heat? I am currently wearing leggings and a vest top which I am too fat for seeing as DD2 has vomitted on most of my clothes.

OK. Smug emoticom here

Oh just bod off with your maxi hatred

I was called a 'goddess' in mine on Friday so there

Tis slim fitting jersey though - no elastication going on here . . .

Since when did being slim and having the ability to wear a maxi dress without looking like a bag of shite become 'smug'?
Methinks Bunbaker wasn't too far off the mark.

I saw a gal in a black jersey column maxi yesterday and she looked chic.

HOWEVER

I also saw a gal in a floral empire line smocked elasticated boob tubed nightmare who looked like a galleon in full sail. PLUS bolero cardigan

The ones with thin , mean straps that dig into red shoulders are awful too

Loathe cotton maxi dresses as daywear! Is it 3 years they've been around now?

Otoh, I'd love to see more long dresses being worn for evening wear. Z-list celebs in bandage dresses please take note.

Jersey column maxis are fab.

lumbago - where is all this hatred of maxi dresses coming from?

Are you too short petite to wear one?

They fool bigger gals into thinking they look slimmer

WRONG

Too much fabric

Lumbago has always hated maxi dresses - tis because she has good legs so its daisy dukes for her

As with everything you need to get the right cut and style for your shape and size.

Strapless concern me for daywear but that's because I have small children who would undoubtedly yank it down.

Anyone remember that thread where we were moaning about maxi dresses and this poster came on and said "well, I think I look alright in mine" and she posted a photo ... and she was absolutely stunning, seriously looked a million dollars. That shut us up!

Oh yes, wearing a strapless maxi and climbing a flight of stairs requires great skill.

I like my maxi dresses, they are so cool. I have been wearing maxi skirts and long vest tops too. I don't have back fat or boob spillage and have seen a lot worse sights,so there!

I don't look dissimilar to the photo in the link that noddy gave.
laughs in maniacally deluded manner after too much Pimms

I have one, and it's lovely, so comfortable and floaty. It can also prove quite impractical, all that fabric.

lol at floral shitbags.

I too have spent the last four years at LEAST bemoaning this fucking godawful trend. I blame Sienna Miller. All that boho chic.

And those jersey things do NOT cover a multitude of sins. Some people do like nice in them but they would look lots nicer in something else.

Bastarding things. Please god next year they will be out of fashion and these viscose monstrosities will be gorn.
