Maxi Dresses for Petites

Do you always shy away from maxi dresses because they're way TOO long? Well you're definitely not alone, but don't let that stop you from wearing one of the most stylish & versatile looks of the season.

If the fit and style of a dress is otherwise perfect, but the length is your concern, a hem job from your tailor will be an easy and relatively inexpensive fix. Make sure you bring the shoes that you will be wearing with your dress, so the length ends up being just right. The same can be done if you can't find your exact size. If you're a medium and there is only a large available, get it altered to fit like a medium. You can sometimes score some great deals by buying items on sale/clearance in a size or 2 up (no more than that or it may end up being too costly) and having them altered to fit you.

Last but not least, don't forget to pair your maxi dress with great accessories. A cute pair of sandals, medium/large handbag, bangles and/or earrings can really make your dress pop!
