As someone who is under 5'5" (and 5'4", and 5'3"...) participating in the ever-popular maxi dress trend is frustrating. All the normal-height girls are wearing them, but each one that I hold up to my body drags the ground a good 4 inches. Those who suffer in this peril will understand how pleased I was to find this simple coral ruffled number - and my toes even peek out the bottom.

I have the opposite problem! I am too tall for maxi dresses! They turn into midi dresses. I get so excited when I find one finally long enough!!

ReplyDeleteHow cute! It is really hard to find maxis that work for us short girls (I'm 5'4 on a good day). And that color is fantastic!
ReplyDeleteIn love with this dress! I'm 5'3 so I have the same problem finding maxi dresses that aren't too long. Just found your blog and it's fabulous - I just graduated from UNC, so I love finding other tarheels in the blog world! New follower :)
