Height Requirement for Maxi Dresses
So I'm 5'3-4"ish and I LOVE maxi dresses...well the look of them. I feel like I'm too short for them....
Do you think theres a height requirement for them? i dont want it to drag but i dont want it to be too short.
HELP!

Height Requirement for Maxi Dresses
I am 5' and I wear them all the time. It should skim the ground in my opinion. Where it's not dragging but not at your ankles either.
But I always have everything long.

Re: Height Requirement for Maxi Dresses
I am 5'2 and I have plenty of them
I find some brands are way to long- but others fit just right

Yep. I don't do maxi dresses because I am just not a fan but I tried a few on.
I don't get how they can fit a 5'2" person and me at 5'9".
I think they need to start making them in lengths like jeans.
Tall, average, petitie
That would make more sense on an item like that.

Old Navy has regular ones and petite ones.

I wear them all the time. I have waaaayyyyyy more in my closet than I really should.
If anything, they make me feel taller.
ETA: I'm 5'3".

Re: Height Requirement for Maxi Dresses
I'm 4'11 and wear them. They have to be chopped in half most of the time but they look great with a nice wedged heel.

I'm 5'2" and basically live in them when I'm not at work during the summer months. I find that the ones at the Banana Republic and Gap Outlets are the perfect length for me.

Ditto! I'm 5'9 too and I've found ONE maxi dress that's long enough for me! I've tried on a whole bunch and they usually hit me right above the ankle. So frustrating!

Jumping on the 5'9" bandwagon... I have one from Banana Republic that I bought last year. It's the only one that's ever been long enough.
