Maxi Dresses

As someone who is very short, I always have a hard time finding dresses that don't reach my knees or lower. Maxi dresses are even harder to find so I've always dismissed the style as something I can't wear. I got lucky this year though and I found two maxi dresses that actually fit. They're great for when you just want to throw something on.

The first dress is from Banana Republic's Milly collection. Jean from Extra Petite did a blog post on the same dress a few months ago, so check out her post for more pictures of the dress. I ended up getting the dress for an extra 40% off the sale price so it was a great deal. It's not as comfortable as more casual maxi dresses since it has a zipper closure and no elastic waist.

The second dress is from Oak + Fort. I randomly walked in their Metrotown location and tried the dress on for fun and I was surprised that the length worked out. I love the quality of this dress compared to other maxi dresses you find in fast fashion stores like Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, etc. The skirt part is a lot thicker that normal maxi dresses so it's good at hiding bumps and lumps (and panty lines!). However, it is pricier than the typical Forever 21 dress. Sorry I don't have that many pictures of the dresses :(
