In another life I had a stint as a boutique manager and learned a thing or two about how to style a maxi dress. It’s all about the silhouette. It doesn’t matter if you are tall or short, curvy or petite, this look can work on everyone, it just may take a minute to find the right fit. A lot of shorter women immediately write off maxi dresses or assume they have to take some length off. While some tailoring may be helpful, it’s more about the shape that flatters you best. So try shopping first by fit and then print and color.
There was a time not long ago that a maxi dress was my daily uniform. And since some time has past, I think it’s time to resurrect one of my favorite looks. Here are 8 of my favorite print inspirations. ~Brandee
