So, at 5'4", I take it I'm too short for a Maxi dress?

[vacaloca]

even if I have it shortened?

I wear them and I am 5ft1..I am small (size 8) but curvy and busty. I think I look good

I'm 5' 3" and wear one and have been told I look good in it my my MIL who really really won't say that if I didn't

Try one on and bring a friend who will be honest (and you won't slap if she is!!)

i think the key is to get one that isnt too puffy!

the point of them is to make one look elegant and elongated. solid proportioned people will always look like they are wearing a duvet cover.

got to be dainty if short. if you look good in a vest top then there is hope.

I might have a chance to go into town today, so I'll try one one and report back. I'm guessing it's going to be a big fat no, but you never know...

I'm 5' 2 1/2" and curvy. A bit too curvy atm. I have one, just for occasional going out and I look good in it. I think it depends on the shape and pattern.

After all this, I don't really know where to find one, anyway. I've seen some in Monsoon. Anywhere else?

I have one on at the moment and am 5 foot 4. And I look lovely

I'm quite fat atm and I look good in a maxi dress. Guarenteed mummy tummy coverage. I think they are great- if you like them get one.
