I love the maxi dress! It will compliment almost any body type. I've even seen pregnant people wearing these dresses - and it looks great on them! It's perfect for summer - when you're out durinig the day running errands, or when you need something to wear on a cool summer night.

I'm so bummed. They didn't have dresses like this when I was pregnant or anything even remotely cute for that matter.
Not that the dresses make me want to get pregnant again...

The third one is my favorite--beautiful and comfortable. I'm a fool for comfort....

Word. [Though I'm a 5'1"-er who bumps their height a couple of inches.

The second one is absolutely gorgeous, and I'd kill for a Marimekko one, but I'll stick with wearing the tunic versions as mini dresses.
