Is it possible to find one of these (at a reasonable price) that doesn't leave a train a mile long if you're less than about 5 foot 8? I'm 5 foot 3 and frequently find that these garments are not only far too long, but have a print on them that means you can't alter them easily.
I have no doubt that the Trinny-and-Susannah wannabes will tell me I shouldn't even consider wearing maxi dresses anyway at my height. (Rather like the knee-length boots that never go round my calves, but that's a whole other thread). Does anyone else have this problem?
