Too short to wear a maxi dress?

A friend recently expressed to me that at 5'3 she felt she was too short for most maxi dresses. I'm 5'4 and don't really consider myself tall - but realize I'm not exactly "short" either because of how my is shaped.

To fix my friends immediate problem - feeling like most maxis are too long for her, I told her about a relative. She's 4'11 and has become sooooo creative in finding ways to make her clothes fit her needs. She's become something of an expert in homemade tailoring and LIVES by hem tape! You can find it in just about any store and it's pretty cheap too at less than $5 for a roll that will last through several alterations. So if floor-dragging hem-lines aren't really your thing, invest in a roll or two of hem tape and this should solve your problem quickly & easily!

Another thing to consider when deciding on a maxi dress is, as I mentioned earlier - your body shape & type. Here are two pictures for illustrative purposes:




We're both about the same height. However take note of how her torso is a little longer than my own, my legs are a little longer than hers (though its probably hard to tell in this image) and my boobs are also bigger. No matter how hard I tried, I was unable to get the hem of the dress to fall any lower than where it is, which is roughly at the lower calf area. In the 2nd image, the hem falls lower - and if you look closely, part of the waistline is gathered a bit where her hand is sitting on her hip - so she could probably pull the dress down to add even more length.

So when you're debating whether or not a maxi dress if for you remember to take those things into consideration. And when all else fails - don't forget the HEM TAPE!! (lol)

PCD Presents: Girlicious

File it under my "Guilty Pleasures", but I'll admit to being a semi-fan of the Pussycat Dolls reality tv series!

I was pulling for each of the selected members of the Girlicious group, they seemed to be the obvious choices from the start! The single "Like Me" is catchy, I find myself humming along and doing the dance moves in my head!! (I know I'm not the only one lol)

The make-overs are unfortunately sub par, I almost didn't realize who Nichole was in the video for Like Me. And there's something really weird about Natalie's hairline that irks me. Anyways, congrats to Girlicious!




We have several new arrivals this week and there is just TWO DAYS left in our Spring Event sale!
