I really like them and being short, most dresses unless mini are really long on me anyway.

Thinking of treating myself to a couple this summer if the weather stays nice, I wear flat shoes anyway, so that is not a problem.

Anyone like the long tops this summer that are longer at the sides, that you wear over leggings?  I got myself about 4 last week and have worn them all in this hot weather and got a lot of compliments.

Yes Saz,You have to hunt through as you know in Tk,They also have elasticated waists,which won't show as your top will cover that part,all important if you are going to eat.

which I do! Which is possibly why I look like I ate all the pies in the maxi dresses

Shullup Saz

Saz TK also sell those elasticated  under garments to hold you in.

Wear a very loose top that's quite long then,that hides a multitude of sins.

where did you come from?!

Skirts!!! Why didn't I think of that? That could be a really good compromise....

I've seen one I like...I will collar her tomorrow to find out where she got it 

Trixy I love how you've described as being so small 

Wedges could be worn, you're right.... hmm think I will have to buy one now

sorry miss S I'm exactly the same height haha

I'm always here

Although gallbladderless

Angelic. I hope you are feeling better now.

lmfao

Ah I never wore a maxi dress,however I did have a maxi halter dress nightie.It was backless and was an autumn print foral effect...lovely!

Well, yes...but 5'12" sounds shorter.

I really don't like them

You've had a choleocystectomy? (ooh get me! Hubby is also gallbaldderless after two bouts of pancreatitis and they found a 1.5cm long gallstone in his gall bladder after the second time round)

OUCH!!!!

I have heard that hurts loads!

Double ouch....wish you better 

I bought some maxi dresses when they came into fashion, but I cut them to mini dress size sharpish. My poor mother had started to sigh a breath of relief only to find bits of material in my bedroom. 

Confesses to having several in my summer hol 'collection' and being really rather pleased that they are in fashion this year.... both budget wise and because they are soooo cool and comfortable... Having said that you do need to get the shape right so as not to look pregnant i.e. not too voluminous from under the bust

 Col.....I can imagine the carnage....Soooops I'm trying really hard to imagine myself in a Maxi dress and it's not a nice image 

Yeah, my friend has given birth three times and also had pancreatitis and informs me that the pancreatitis hurts more...

Ssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!   She knows not what she says!!!!

(this is like the kidney stones comparison.   the general consensus is... we don't ever say that anything is more painful than childbirth... as men have been looking for a way to dismiss it & any admission that we wimmin are in fact "dead 'ard" for decades)

Hello LLF btw...  good to see you back in forumland xx

I'm short and I have just  bought a (cheap) maxi dress to wear over swimming costumes to and from the pool on my hols....looks OK and will serve it's purpose.

ooooh I didn't know that's what it was called.

Poor hubby


Oh and for anyone who asked it is faaaaaaaaaar more painful than childbirth

Ty

I did tell her that she was letting the side down somewhat with this admission!
