Today I've personally styled a couple of maxi dresses for my petite ladies. Standing at a whopping 5'1" (5'2" if I'm feeling particularly confident), long dresses tend to be a bit, well, LONG. But don't fret my fun sized friends, there are tricks to making maxis work for us too! I suggest finding dresses with unique skirts. A maxi with slits or a waterfall front let you show off those legs and give the illusion you're taller than you are. You can also knot the bottom of the skirt for a cool casual look. Another tip? Empire waists and v necks elongate your figure.

For the Busty: Go for dresses with V necks, or a wrap style.
For the Curvy: Pick a fit & flare that gathers at your smallest point and avoid spaghetti straps, opting for a cap sleeve instead.
For the Athletic/Boyish: Pick a maxi with a drawstring waist to create curves!
For the Tall and Thin: Wear whatever the heck you want because these suckers were made for you!
