I've been seeing them all around New York- women flaunting the lean, romantic silhouette of summer: the maxi dress. All that fabric, you think, could only work on model figures, but I've seen women of all shapes rocking this length. It's more about the right cut, color and fabric. And be sure to take your trailing hems to a tailor, ladies!
I just purchased a maxi tank dress, but for a more demure, slightly avant-garde look, I'm loving this ash colored tee-shirt dress with a sheer mesh back and gathered detail from
Bread and Butter. Love the styling possibilities with such a minimalistic shape...
What do you think of the maxi trend? Would you wear it?

I would most def wear this trend. love this dress :)
I would definitely wear a maxi dress given that I found one that suited my petite frame and didn't dwarf me in height haha. I love the neutral colour of the one you bought, it let's the finer details like the gathered hem and mesh back stand out more. I've actually been thinking of getting the Rachel Pally Long Fortuna dress in the cream colour for a wedding I'm going too in September. I just love the long flowy-ness and simplistic nature of the overall silhouette, which means I can go nuts on the accessories without looking like I'm nuts (hopefully). Great post D!
I've been laughing to myself, after all the people who told me they'd NEVER wear maxis.
I want. I need. Like air, like water.
Oh yea I'd def wear this trend. This is seasonless! I imagine in the fall with big combat boots and a moto jacket! Great find!
Yes, Love the maxi trend! If I can wear it, anyone can wear it! :)
Ohh this one is amazing!! I'm short so maxi dresses are no my best friends, I hope I can find one that suits me well!
xoxo
Ooh definitely gorgeous! I'm open to trying a maxi dress but I just haven't found one that appeals to me.
i LOVE maxi dresses. they are comfortable and sexy and your completely right about the styling options - limitless!!
dressy, casual, whatever
i'm a huge fan and have been for some time. i find them easier to wear than shorter dresses because it takes pressure off the shoe choice :-P
a black maxi dress is the perfect solution when you arent feeling creative and dont know what to wear. you'll always looks great!
i love maxi dresses! they are comfortable, feminine, different and you're right - they do look good on many body types. i was hesitant to try them at first, but i think it's the fact that they usually flow out from just below the chest, making it look like you have long legs, that makes them good for anyone.
this is a trend i've avoided b/c i'm very short and small - i'm still not sure if it will work but maybe i'll give it a try just in time for my holiday in europe =)
i love a pretty, pretty maxi dress with great jewelry in the summer. it makes us girls feel extra feminine, i think :)

Hey D! Yes, I'd most definitely wear the maxi dress- it's chic yet comfortable (no tugging at a tight mini dress required). Hope you're doing well!! xo, mel

that dress looks cool with the drapery detail on the side.. I love maxi dresses but unfortunately, really small girls like me, who happen to have also wide hips... can't wear maxi dresses at all.. I have to settle with other delicious garments..
I like your blog,
take care
LOVING this..
<3
I wear it. Love it. :)
Ended up on your blog by searching for couture carrie who I like a lot. I'm thrilled to have found your site on the way. :)
