Wear // The Quest for the Perfect Maxi Dress

L-R Hush | Free People | ASOS
One item I have always wanted to be able to wear is a maxi dress. This might seem odd to most of you but at only 5'2" I am what is known as 'petite' and most maxi dresses are much to long for me! So I have made it my mission to find the perfect maxi dress for the summer and my holiday to Malta in October, I might need to take it up but I don't mind, I want to be able to rock a maxi dress this year. 

Hush Jersey Maxi Dress £30 ~ This dress is simple and understated, perfect for those hot summer evenings. 

Endless Summer Triangle Top Maxi £98 ~ This dress is perfectly boho and honestly it is a bit out of my price range but a girl can dream right?

ASOS Bandeau Maxi Dress £20 ~ I think this is an absolute bargain for the price. I'm always warey with ASOS.com as sometimes their clothes are a bit hit and miss with the quality of the fabric but I think that for £20 this is worth a try! They even stock a petite version. 

Do you wear maxi dresses in summer? Let me know if you have any to recommend for short girls!

  1. I just bought the deep blue Hush maxi and I am thrilled with it. I'm 5"4 and it touches the floor without shoes on. I don't wear heels so if you do you're onto a winner!

  3. I have the same problem as I'm only about 5ft! Although I've recently bought two maxi dresses - one is Miss Slefridges and the other is Principles, both petites range! :)

  4. Love the middle 'boho' dress Jayne but also the colours of the other two - perfect for summer. Looking forward to seeing an OOTD if you decide on one! :)
