Looking for a Fit and flare midi or maxi dress? Help

ifyougochasingrabbits · 14/08/2023 09:06

I am off to Marbella next month and I am looking for a maxi or midi dress but it needs to be stretchy and skater style / fit and flare as I’m short . although I’m slim maxi dresses only seem to look good on me if they’re fitted on the waist then flare out . Anything else drowns me

but they’re so hard to find like that 😩😩😩 I do have one like it from a few years ago but it’s almost falling apart now. So any help would be appreciated.

I am looking for one like this which I saw on an ad for ax Paris - pic below but annoyingly I cannot find this one anywhere on their actual website

Vinted?

I was going to have a look on there but feel it will be like a needle in a haystack 😆

I've downloaded it but never used it...I don't know if you can search specific things -
Guess there's only one way to find out !

Most of Collectif’s stuff is Fit and Flare (50s style). They are having a big sale at the moment too!

Not exactly like the AX Paris ones, but some suggestions of maxi dresses with fitted waists that might look a bit more current:

Search Hi Queen Fit and Flare on Amazon, they have some nice ones x

Vinted is really good for searching for very specific things.

Has anyone used Halara? It came up on my Instagram and some of the dresses are exactly what I'm looking for plus stretchy

Quality of the one I got is very nice.

I got a Next one (not so much fit and flare more knee length) and have really gone off it, the pattern.

Not used them myself but Trustpilot reviews seem good.
