I love the way that Maxi dresses look...on other people! My short stature has made me afraid that pulling of this look would be too difficult. Which got me thinking, what style maxi dress would look best on my body type? After researching a few articles, I came up with a list of the top tips that I thought I'd share with you all.

This is where I fit in. Eye catching prints will help slim the tummy area. I don't know about you but slimming my tummy is a plus!
Busty

Look for wide straps or cap sleeves in a v neck style. Avoid clingy fabrics, but not too big. Don't be afraid to show off your curves.

Look for a Maxi that has a gather at the waist or belt to create the illusion of curves. Or, rock a fitted dress.
Pear
Empire waist lines will accentuate your slim part while flowing over your bottom half.
