... y'know the ones that go to your ankles.
Who has one? Where did you get yours from? Do you like?
I've seen one in a shop at the end of my street and I think they'd be good for me. I'm almost transparent so never keen on showing my legs in summer and never get around to the fake tanning business.
I have several and love them.
They are so flowy though that sometimes you can step on the front of them and trip over your own skirt :)
i think they're great, very pretty.
you should go and try it on
Love em. Just got a new one in the post yesterday that my mum made for me to wear to DS' bday party.
I think they're very pretty and feminine and have the added bonus of hiding all the lumpy bits ;)
Ohhhh I really want some for this summer - are there any that look like I could breastfeed in them though?
I love them too! I just got a new one from Sussan - it's navy and white - a large paisley print. Very comfy and feminine...:D
Ooh Nelle, good point, hadn't thought of that!
Love them. Jeanswest have some gorgeou ones at the moment!
I had a client once who wore one, and BF by just pulling one of the straps off her shoulders and flapping it out, so to say!
I am trying to make a lovely satin one for a wedding in December. The fabric is so beautiful that I am terrified of mucking it up though!
I love them but I'm not sure that it would look any good on me - I'm a shorty.
Have seen some gorgeous ones around though!
I'm wearing one right now :D A big flowy navy one with paisley on it. I reccon once bub is born I'll just slide the strap off my shoulder at tucker time.
You look gorgeous in yours Raven!
I think they are great if you get the right style that suits you. So I would try on a few different styles to see which ones you prefer.
I'll second that, gorgeous mate. Perfect with your bump. :D:
You look gorgeous in yours Raven!
how do they look if you've got a bit of a belly? I have a high belly, just under the ribs and the empire line makes me look preggo at the best of times...
I LOVE the idea of a maxi dress, but when I try them on, I look like a freaking GIANT! Not kidding. I'm tallish with broad shoulder and hips and I do carry a bit of extra weight, so I just look like a massive trunk of person. I WISH I could wear them but it just doesn't do anything for me... : (
Hi Ruth- There are differnent styles of maxi dresses so make sure you try different types on. I have big bbs so I cant wear the spaghetti strap ones. I look for ones with thicker shoulder straps.
I've decided I'm going to get one with a halter neck. Would be particularly good for met at the moment because I've got a massive bruise on my deathly pale legs where I fell through our decking!
Oh Fiona I hope you are okay! have fun shopping!
OOoooooooooooo I LOOOOOOOVE maxi dresses!!!
I bought about 7 while in Canada to wear for my entire pregnancy as I was over there for the summer and now I am going through summer here (with a little stint in winter :() I think they are great to hide a little bit of pudge but as the bump has gotten bigger it accentuates it. I just pop my boob out the top for feeding but then I don't care who sees my boobs anyway, they have kind of become equipment rather than a body part for me.
So have fun trying some on, there are several different styles and prints out there so be sure to try out a mixture.
I had a Maxi dress ... would you believe it 14years ago ... wore it to death ... went from being a black to a purplish colour, LOL (though back then you wore them with knee high boots) ... i love em with flatties now ;)
I can't wear the ones with shirred elastic around the bust & back ... makes my big boobies look even bigger, augh :rolleyes:
Noticed ' Just Jeans ' have recently got some more designs in :dance:
Saw some cute ones in the Kmart catelogue this week (not usually a big fan of Kmart clothes ... purely cause had bad experience with fabric quality) ... But might check em out there too :D
I haven't read everyone else's replies but...
I was thinking about getting one for ages and finally did the other day from 'Just Jeans' I love it and it's not to full around the bottom either.
