It reminds me of the late 60's formal dresses. I know what you mean about length. I'm 5 foot 4 so I have never been a maxi dress girl. I do have a vintage maxi hawaiian dress that I have yet to wear that just happened to be the perfect length and price in my favorite consignment shop.

Not fallen on my face or anything, but I've had to grab hold of something (someone!) to stop myself from falling. I'm pretty klutzy too. So now when I walk I kinda pick the skirt up a bit and hold it to the side so it's not all pooling at my feet and an accident waiting to happen. :)<br /><br />Love this one, it's very flattering on you!rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438183830009278348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808329342973883194.post-70784190076139348632013-08-29T02:40:33.826-04:002013-08-29T02:40:33.826-04:00I love the idea of maxi skirts and dresses, but .....I love the idea of maxi skirts and dresses, but ... the skirts never seem to look right on me, and the dresses feel too fussy and unfamiliar.

I just don't find them that easy to wear, since I like them sweeping the floor, and if they're sweeping the floor, they get dirty and I trip all over the place.
