Maxi skirts and dresses are everywhere again this summer here in Australia.

How to Wear a Maxi if You’re Petite

Most often I hear that petites find them tricky to wear and they can be if you choose a style with too much volume and wear them too long.
  • End them around the ankle, rather than dragging on the ground.
  • Make sure they are made from a fluid fabric that doesn’t swamp you, avoid too many gathers and lots of fabric.
  • Keep patterns in scale with your body, avoid large scale patterns.

How to Wear a Maxi if You are an H shape (or lack a defined waist)

  • Avoid gathers and anything belted or pleated around the waist
  • With maxi-dresses, an empire style is the most flattering
  • Straighter shapes follow the lines of your body and flatter.
