  Maxi dresses are super-cute on me now that I'm pregnant.

  
  

  When I'm not pregnant, maxi dresses still make me look pregnant, so not cute.

  I might have thought about this when i bought them. HMM if i am or do get pregnant this summer i can still wear this! 

  
  

  I bet you look super cute and i bet they are super comfy.

  I have few maxi dresses.
  I like to wear them when I am too lazy to shave my legs.

  I think they're cute on other people. They don't work on people who are 5'1" though.

  Yeah, I'm 5'11 and the potato sack syndrome is a running issue. At our height, it's sooooo much material on the straight styles. The ones that work best for me are the ones that have a little more waist tailoring and uneven hems. This is the one that I just bought from ASOS (they make tall sizes!) https://www.asos.com/Asos-Tall/Asos-Tall-Maxi-Dress-With-Drape-Pockets/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=4045374&SearchQuery=Tall&Rf-700=1000&Rf900=1465&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Khaki

  I had one when I was pregnant, and it was wonderful.

  I recently bought another one, and it's very comfy, but a little long.

  I have a bunch. I'm 5'11 and look best in the swing styles, over the tube. @eyenigh and I seem to wear similar styles.

  At 36D, F any tube dress anyway. STrapless bras are a joke.

  @EMarieMe While we're on the subject, I take it you didn't get the tall version of the ASOS dress if you got the gray, did you? I think tall was only in khaki. I'm hoping it isn't crazy long if regular works on you. Some tall stuff ends up being for the freakishly tall instead of normal tall!

  @eyenigh,
  
  The regular length is fairly long. But I'm not 5'11! I don't know why I wrote that above. I'm 5'9" but was spreadsheeting that day, so maybe my brain just did something wonky on me.
  
  I think you should be good.  I'm tall, but not that awesomely tall.
