Being a petite girl, I've always stayed away from Maxi dress because most of them drown me or act like my personal sweeper 😉 In the past I've had to either knot them at the hemline or wear 100 inch heels to keep them off the floor. So it's not surprise that I literally had ONE maxi dress. That was before I found this beauty at Express. At a recent Spring outlet shopping spree, I discovered that Express petite maxi dresses fit me just right & I don't have to be on stilts 😉

Maxi dress is one my Spring must haves. They provide you more leg coverage than a regular dress (perfect for Spring) & you still feel breezy wearing them. So if you are a petite girl, keep these things in mind when you look for a maxi dress. Things that make this dress work:
HIGH SLIT : Sticking the leg out of the slit (a.k.a. the Angelina Jolie pose) exposes some part of the leg & makes it appear longer.
OFF SHOULDER : Showing off my decollete draws the attention towards the face & away from my petite stature
PRINT SIZE : The size print is just right for my frame. It's not too big that all you can is the print & not too small/busy that it seems like I'm wearing a blanket .
The dress I'm wearing is unfortunately sold out but here are few of my under $50 favorites!
