I wore both during pregnancy since the waist cut off is just below boobs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812783 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:25:35 +0000 Gin 2812783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i bought this while pregnant and am petite. i love it </p> <p><a href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/loveappella-maxi-dress-regular-petite/3677266?contextualcategoryid=2375500&#038;origin=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=loveapella" rel="nofollow">https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/loveappella-maxi-dress-regular-petite/3677266?contextualcategoryid=2375500&#038;origin=keywordsearch&#038;keyword=loveapella</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812782 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:23:47 +0000 catlady 2812782@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved maxi dresses while pregnant (both times). I am only 5'0" so I only buy petite sizes. I believe I found mine in a variety of places: Macys, Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic outlet (random), and I think I had one from Boden. I never bothered with actual maternity dresses for maxis, I just wore regular ones with a higher waist. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812777 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:16:49 +0000 codeitall 2812777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Honestly, I just chopped the bottom off some of the too-long dresses. I didn't feel like hauling out my sewing machine to hem something I'd only be wearing a few months. Besides, no one is going to look at the hem anyway ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812772 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 10:12:57 +0000 nana87 2812772@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Last summer Old Navy had some great maternity/nursing dresses that were midi length that might be closer to maxi? Soo comfy AND cheap! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812733 Thu, 29 Mar 2018 07:02:45 +0000 cake2017 2812733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nordstrom and The Loft has a maternity line. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812698 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 20:13:54 +0000 bhbee 2812698@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LCTBQE: good call on Nordstrom! I’ll have to check that out</p> <p>@Iced Tea: I might even have some of that, great idea. not shaving all the time would be heavenly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812692 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 19:43:52 +0000 Iced Tea 2812692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I’m 5’2 as well. I used stitch witchery (I think that’s the name) to hem a maternity maxi dress. I had never found a regular one that was short enough, and didn’t even try to find a maternity one. I figured they wouldn’t exist! And, yes, it was very comfy and practical. Didn’t even have to shave. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812689 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 19:17:35 +0000 LCTBQE 2812689@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bhbee: I'm so jealous that it's warming up for you! It's still going to be in the 30's here until a month from now :meh: but anyway re dresses, no advice on brands, I'm tall--but won't Nordstrom do alterations for free? they have a TON of maternity maxi dresses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/maternity-maxi-dress-for-short-people#post-2812686 Wed, 28 Mar 2018 19:04:07 +0000 bhbee 2812686@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Now that it’s warming up here I’m thinking this will be a great option to hide summer swelling but not be roasting. Just tried some from pink blush though and they’re dragging on the ground! Any brands that work for shorter people? (I’m about 5’2”) Or should I just try non maternity styles?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
