Short? Fat? DOES NOT MATTER! You can still look Amazing in your maxi dress!
The maxi dress is always on TREND!
They are great to wear for all seasons really. I don't agree with people saying maxi dresses are for summer only, I think they can be worn during all seasons with an exception of maybe heavy snow/rainy days. But other than that, the weather doesn't really matter with Maxi because if you want to wear it during winter times, you can always wear lots of layers underneath your maxi just like you would with any other clothing so I would definitely suggest maxi dresses to be a wardrobe must have item. There are many different ways to wear your maxi dresses and this page will show you exactly how to do it.
Maxi dresses come in lots of varieties and there are appropriate maxis to suit all shapes and ages.
I always hear girls telling me that they love maxi dresses but they are too short to wear it and some always moan about how they think they are fat to wear it and so on. If you are one of those types, you have fully misunderstood the maxi dress concept.
Ladies, you have to understand the fact that any one can look amazing in maxi dresses, therefore your height and weight does not matter at all. But what might affect your over all look is how you wear it and the varieties you choose from.
What suits me? How do I wear it? What colour should I choose? What shoes should I wear? What this...how this...how that...WORRY NOT!
That's why I'm here to help you.

Knowing your body shape is the key to good Maxi dress!
It is so important to know your body type because there are different body types. There's a full figured body type, there's a boy shape, there's a pear shape, some women have wider hips and bigger thighs and there are women who are top heavy so you need to know your body types because there are some fabrics and cuts out there that look better on certain body types. Knowing your body type, you will be able to purchase the Maxi dress that will make you look and feel better and make your body type shine.
Are you a Miss Pear?
Maxi Dresses for heavier bottom halves
You are in this category if you carry most of your weight on the bottom half of your body [Thighs/Hips/Butt] than your top half. Your maxi dresses should balance out your beautiful bottom by drawing attention to your top half. So you might want to look for dresses that draw attention to the neck/chest and shoulder area more.
Especially if you are one of those types always moaning about being heavier in the bottom area, then your choice of maxi dress will draw attention to the top half of your body and make your curves stand out.

Are you an amazing apple figure?
You are pretty much in proportion but tend to carry some more weight in your middle area. It doesn't matter, its about bringing your best features shine out and appreciating your curves.
Long maxis are perfect for your figure and you should also focus on drawing attention to your neck/chest/shoulder and legs if you prefer it. You would be best off with maxi dresses that are tight in your chest area but flared in the bottom.
Anything that draws attention to the middle area might not be the perfect choice for you loveys.

Are you the sassy strawberry?
You are in this category if you have a figure that's bigger on the top half than it is on the bottom. You can experiment with dresses that are long and flared in the bottom. They will balance out your bigger top half with the bottom half. However you might have to think twice when deciding to wear puff sleeves, epaulettes and halter necks though. You do not want to be wearing clothing that will be making your shoulder `s looking even broader unless you're planning to dress as `SUPER WOMAN` for a fancy dress competition. Are you Miss Hourglass?
An hourglass shaped body is some one who has nice shoulders that are in proportion with their hips and their hips are round. A woman with an hourglass body would usually have hips that are not too much bigger but a small waist to compliment their hip size and they also have fuller breasts. Jennifer Lopez is a great example of an hourglass body.Your body will look great in anything you wear really. You can usually go for the extremely tight figure hugging dresses.

Can Short girls wear long dresses?
Yes you can but if you're really short [below 5 ft], you might want to wear a nice pair of high heels or wedges to make you look taller in your long dress. If you're going to wear flat shoes with long dresses, please make sure that the dress is not too long when you walk, you're sweeping the floor with your dress.
If you're not a high heels type of person or just can't walk in high heels, then you can go for cute wedges or ankle boots. Just remember your comfort matters more! You can look good in anything when you feel comfortable wearing it. If you want to learn how to walk in high heels, there is a video tutorial below so have a peek at that and practice.
Is your dress a bit too long for you?
Don`t worry! You can still rock it with heels ;)
Can you walk in High heels?
If you feel like you're too short to wear a maxi dress or you think the dress is too long for you [same thing :S], you can still look gorgeous by wearing some nice pair of heels with it.
However I strongly advice not to even go near the heels if you don't know how to walk in them!
The amount of girls I see on high street wearing heels and walking like they just broke their knee bone is just ridiculous! Yes the celebrities might inspire to wear them but maybe because they know exactly how to walk in heels. This is a really serious issue, you will not only embarrass yourself in the middle of the street but also cause yourself a lot of health problems to the legs.
Its about time!
You really like to wear heels but you cant walk in them?
High heels are a big NO for me..
I simply cannot walk in high heels no matter how hard I try to! It just causes me too much pain and discomfort so I like wearing wedges instead as alternatives to high heels. They are definitely way comfortable to wear than pointed high heels. So if you're like me, you can go for these.
Wedges are your best friend if you just cant walk in heels!
Well they`re certainly my alternatives to heels!

How to style a maxi dress!
Your Opinion Matters!
Rectangular body shape??
Rectangular body shape is also known as boyish or straight figure.Women with this body shape usually have same measurements in the top and the bottom half.
Most neck lines will work with this body type but V or U neckline will be the most flattering.
These will draw more attention to your face and also emphasize the waist area. Keira Knightley is a great example of this body type. Dresses with waistband and the ones that are tighter at the waist area then flaring out will look great on women of this body shape.

Can you wear a maxi dress if you%u2019re fat?
I don't mean to use the term `fat` in an offensive way but this is the term most girls use to find my articles and its quite sad how these girls feel so low about themselves. I have seen chubby/overweight ladies wearing maxi dresses and they look amazing! Some of them know just how to wear it and it really makes them look elegant and beautiful. Don't worry about your weight, well health wise you must worry if you're too overweight but otherwise don't worry, we are all beautiful nor matter what!
Just choose your dress, wear it and spice it up with all these tips and tricks. If you're too conscious about a particular area of your body such as your belly, you can minimise appearance by wearing a corset belt on top of your maxi dress or women shape wears underneath your dress. Black corset belts are the perfect choice!
Do your hair nicely, wear some cute accessories and some chic make up to go with your maxi dress and trust me it will take people's attention of your flabby areas and make them focus only on the best parts. Focus on enhancing your beauty by using various make up techniques and hair styles.
Cute black Cardigans and shrugs are best ways to hide flabby arms, the color black minimises the appearance of the lumps and bumps and gives a clean and elegant appearance. So if you're worried about showing your arms in maxi dresses, wear a cute cardigan/shrug or blazer on top and you'll be ready to go.
Worried about showing your arms?
Different ways cover you arms stylishly whilst wearinga Maxi Dress
If you feel too conscious about wearing sleeveless maxi dresses or the ones that don't have any sleeves at all, you can always wear a cute cardigan or blazer on top. You can even wrap a nice scarf around your arms and it will definitely look hot! This is also a useful technique when wearing your Maxi dress on a slightly chilly night in: Autmum, Winter and Spring.
Plus Size Sexy White Sheer Front Tie Bolero Shrug
Plus Size MidNight Black Sheer Front Tie Bolero Shrug Top
Short Sleeve Front Tie Open Cropped Shrug Bolero Wrap Shrug
Tank Tops For Winter or for a more Conservative Style
If you do not wish to show cleavage, you can simply wear a matching colour or black tank top underneath your Maxi dress. This will look decent and beautiful at the same time. The also keeps you warm while wearing the Maxi dress in the cooler Autumn, Winter and Spring months.
How to wear maxi dress in winter?
You can wear maxi dresses in winter with lots of layers underneath. I normally wear Maxi dresses in winter with leggings and thermal leg warmers underneath. I don't think maxi dresses look good with long coats/cardigans. I have seen many girls wearing it this way but it doesn't look flattering. Maxi dresses go better with short/cropped jackets and cardigans. Don't forget to wrap up with a nice Pashmina scarf or any other scarf of your choice.
When its Winter time...Wear Maxi Dresses with leggings
You can still wear your maxi dresses with some leggings underneath!

Best Chosen Accessories is the Key!
