I'm very petite (5 feet tall) and I think it will make me look even shorter. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168820 Fri, 25 May 2012 07:13:54 +0000 Sammyfab 168820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wear maxi dresses and skirts all the time! I love them and I don't think you need to be tall or super skinny to pull them off. I am a solid 5'2" with no bum and a larger chest and I think I rock the maxis! :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168811 Fri, 25 May 2012 07:01:37 +0000 purrpletulips 168811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am not a dress girl and due to my normal pre-pregnancy size have avoided maxi dresses for fear that people would think I'm pregnant. I did buy one this pregnancy (going to a daytime wedding at the end of June) and it looks OK on my but probably won't wear it beyond pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168787 Fri, 25 May 2012 06:46:15 +0000 heffalump 168787@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could before baby.

I am 5'2 and 14 weeks.. maxi skirts are my go-to! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168663 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:26:05 +0000 mrs. wagon 168663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love maxi dresses! I love the flowiness and since I'm average height (5'6") they're usually a good length for me. I do not own any maxi skirts... I can never figure out how to pair tops with them. I'm busty too so it's tough to figure out what looks good. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168639 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:18:53 +0000 Mrs. Bee 168639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i loooooove them and can't get enough. i'm sure they would look better on someone taller and skinnier, but they're just so easy and can be dressed up and dressed down. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168636 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:17:28 +0000 Mrs. Sunglasses 168636@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It depends on the shape (near the bust) the length (if you can wear with a heel) and the fabric. </p> <p>I can pull them off 50% of the time, even though my husband hates them! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168622 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:11:41 +0000 jennylynn 168622@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sigh.... I unfortunately cannot pull them off. :( I think they look great on lots of different body types, but I have NO booty, and it's just not a good look. I look like a 12 year old boy in drag. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168610 Thu, 24 May 2012 21:01:31 +0000 Mrs. Pen 168610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love them!! I wear both, dresses and skirts. Since I still have baby weight I'm technically considered overweight but I like them because they fit this new body. They hide a lot :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168608 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:59:02 +0000 eeh 168608@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been able to find the right size for me. I'm tall but small busted so an xs or s that fits in the bust is too short, anything I find that's long enough is awful up top. Plus, I feel like it's a lot of material and maybe too much of one dress/skirt to look good on me </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168606 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:58:18 +0000 googly-eyes 168606@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't seen anyone pull off the maxi skirt, but I haven't honestly seen that many people wearing them at all (or maybe I just don't notice!) I did just buy 2 maxi dresses though. I figure, they make people look pregnant, I am pregnant, should be a good fit!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168604 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:56:41 +0000 Mrs. Cat in the Cradle 168604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a maxi dress today, and it is too long if I'm wearing flats. :-/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168603 Thu, 24 May 2012 20:53:21 +0000 Arden 168603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can! haha...

I live off maxi dresses now that I"m pregnant and it's hot! I haven't seen anyone wear one that looks bad in it. Honestly. They're so comfy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168432 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:31:14 +0000 matador84 168432@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love maxi skirts! I am barely 5"4...I wore a cute striped one to work yesterday with a solid colored top and had so many people tell me how cute it was. Of course I wore espadrilles with it so I ended up being about 5"7...love the maxi skirt! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168422 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:26:53 +0000 lilteacherbee 168422@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I definitely cannot pull them off (I've tried), as I'm only 5'. I ended up giving mine (that was gifted to me) to my 5'7" tall sister. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168413 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:22:13 +0000 LuLu Mom 168413@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just got a maxi skirt in the mail....I love it and I have a booty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168410 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:21:18 +0000 bpcmarj 168410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm really tall and every maxi dress i've ever tried on is too short and looks silly on me. I think you have to be a really certain height or able to wear high heels to get the length right. Otherwise they seem like exactly what I would want to wear this summer post baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168405 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:19:34 +0000 mrsjyw 168405@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just bought 3 maxi dresses and 2 maxi skirts in the last month. I wouldn't normally wear them as often outside of pregnancy, but they are def comfy and it helps that I'm around 5'8".... but I've seen shorter friends wear them, and wear them better than me! :)</p> <p>I think it's all about personal pref and if YOU feel good in it, then you look good in it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/can-anyone-pull-off-the-maxi-skirt#post-168401 Thu, 24 May 2012 19:17:36 +0000 Boogs 168401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>People usually think I'm pregnant if I try to pull of the look....</p> <p>....I'm not pregnant, though. :/ </p> <p>Maybe it's because I'm short and not super slender? </p>
