[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m short (5’1”) and I never wear dresses because I feel SWALLOWED in them. So much fabric! And they’re never slimming on me. And my thighs get sweaty in summer. [/quote]

Are you a plus sized 5’1? I’m 5’2, size 2 and I live in dresses.  I don’t need to be “slimmed”. [/quote]

I'm 5'5 and size 0 and while I do live in dresses, a lot of those posted I think would swallow me because I don't have the height for them. ANYTHING midi is in that category. I don't think it looks good unless you're 5'9+ or you jack yourself up so high in heels it's no longer a comfortable option. [/quote]

I guess everyone is different -- I'm a smidge shorter than you and a size 0/2 and love midi and maxi dresses. I sometimes hem them if I think they are overwhelming me, but in the summer I actually love an oversized maxi for running errands. I have this in a few colors/patterns that I bought for a beach coverup, but I find myself grabbing them in July in DC and wearing with sandals to run errands or meet someone for coffee. They are much shorter on me than on the model but still voluminous and I find the extra fabric feels liberating (nothing to suck in, don't have to worry about panty lines or anything) and kind of cools me off because of the way it moves around when I walk. I get why people in desert climates often wear loose caftans and long skirts -- it keeps the sun off your skin and is much more cooling than something more fitted or shorter.
