| Ew, OP, a jean jacket? Really? This is not 1983 |
| Wow, OP, the dresses you linked to look like Kaftans, not maxis!! |
OMG, get out from under your rock. http://www.google.com/search?q=maxi+dress+denim+jacket&hl=en&client=tablet-android-asus-nexus&rlz=1Y3NDUG_enUS494US494&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=BPo8UdaOCdS_0QGy94C4CA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=601&bih=906 |
Alas, it kind of is. I saw a kid (like 16yo) at the zoo yesterday dressed like Joey from Degrassi. |
Unfortunately for me. ... My legs are my worst feature. Beautiful face, breasts, arms, flat tummy. So I love maxis in summer. I haven't worn shorts since I don't know when. Oh how I would love to wear short, sexy dresses and heels every day. Never gonna happen though. |

I just bought this one and I can't wait to wear it!

I love this thread. I own two maxi dresses, but they are short- just above the knee. I can't wear long ones because I'm petite. The only issue is that I look very young, so I mostly wear them around the house.
Like a stylish mumu (spelling?). *cringe* |

| I'm tall with big boobs and broad shoulders, so I feel like many maxis make me look pregnant........so I am hoping they will be cute when I am actually visibly pregnant? |
I think maxis are, by definition, long. That sounds more like a caftan to me. (Like this?) But I love wearing caftans around the house too. I convince myself I'm floating around and being chic, Mrs. Roper references be damned. |
I've seen so many adorable maternity maxis lately that I'm wondering whether I could get away with wearing them when I'm not pregnant. |
I call them a maxi because they are made out of jersey t-shirt material. Like these -

Okay, but those are definitely not maxi dresses. Maxis are indeed long by definition. If it's short, it's not a maxi. |
| Wow-they are hideous! I can't believe these are an obsession for you! They are the modern form of a 'moo-moo'. |
