What is a maxi dress?

[Tinks]

Not being a smarty pants or anything but I beg to differ on the spaghetti straps. The maxi dress was invented in the 70's, most of them had long sleeves. From my understanding a maxi dress tends to be fitted in the bust area and flows down to the ground.

Here's a defintion I found...

Maxi dress
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Maxidress is a floor or ankle length informal dress. Maxidresses are formfitting at the top and loose flowing at the bottom, cut to flow over the body. Usually made out of cotton or polyester. They come in a variety of necklines, colors and patterns.

Also maxi dresses can come in many colours and patterns

A maxi dress is ... something you can't wear if you're 5'1" like me as they're just TOO long!!!!!

I can't wear them either Leasha...and 3/4 pants are full length on me too.

OMG SAME HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3/4 pants are full length on me too and my workmates always tease me when i wear 3/4 pants because they look like normal pants that come up just a bit above my ankles!!!!!!!!

I think for a maxi dress that fits me i will have to go with a normal length dress that goes above the knee for most ladies.

LOL at 3/4 pants! I know! When I wear the 'short' 3/4 length I always feel like a bit of a dork as they always make me look like I'm am a kid who just had a growth spurt

The longer 3/4 ones though are just PERFECT as a pair of pants on me!

Sad I know. I long for a nice pair of jeans, but not willing to pay over $100 just to buy a 'short' pair. So I do the hobo look and either fold or jsut let the drag until the bottoms wear away hahahahahaha
