I'm 5'6" too Suzy, I must just know lots of short people cos I often seem taller than a lot of them
I am surrounded by some awfully tall people saz..... however, my mother is about 5"3' and I've seen some photos of her in maxi dresses (from the 1970s) looking amazing. But, I've found out recently that she probably had some kind of eating disorder and has spent most of her life starving to death....she's much fuller figured now and so much happier (I've even grown to like spending time with her!)....I'm not prepared to starve for stuff like that..especially now I have daughters...

It must be the weather.... I was looking at them online today as well...

&..  after half an hour of being seduced into thinking I would look like the plastic manekin they had pinned the dresses onto to be photographed, I had a reality check & suddenly they all looked Les Dawson or Liz Taylor (the larger years)caftan.

My cynicism spread to the ditsy tea dress section...   all I could see was Catherine Tate's Nana!

Every now & then I found a dress that had potential...  but they were all sold out! (strange that!)

I always think I'm too small at 5ft 1 to wear a maxi dress but then I think of the ankle length skirts I wore in the 80s and it didn't bother me then You also really need to wear flats and like Mariah Carey once said "flat shoes are not in my repertoire
Because you are so small you can get away with wearing it with wedges, as long as you make sure you buy it so that its long enough.

Ditty, that's what I see too...I have a couple of kaftans, but they are ones I've had made when I go to Ghana, so they are for when I am required to dress African..and they are comfy.
African print is in vogue too at the moment....and that's one trend I'm one step ahead of.
