Make the Most of Your Maxi |On The Fly

LENGTH

Short stature:
Try wearing heels to make the dress shorter and to make you appear taller. Another option is to use a chunky belt; use this to cut off some length by tucking the extra fabric!

Tall stature:
Stick to flats or sandals. Also, it's okay for the dress to hit at or above your ankles; it doesn't have to touch the floor! Or get a larger size but use a belt to still accentuate your waist.

SHAPE

Curvy:
Don't let maxi dresses intimidate you! There are MANY styles that ONLY work with curves; you just have to look for the right ones! But, to make it easy, just add a belt around your waist so that the dress flatters your body and doesn't just hang.
