. 3. Maxi Dresses

The Ubiquitous Maxi Dress

I completely disagree that only a tall drink of water can do a maxi dress justice. Mini Rachel Zoe and Kristen Bell look like foxy minxes in the maxi. As long as your upper body is toned, it's a great dress for all body types just as long as you choose the right neckline. Tall girls should stay away from intricate patterns and solid colors (leave those choices to your petite pals). Busty babes need a V-neck more diminuitive decolletages need a more straight across cut. What I love most about the maxi is that it's the perfect eating dress without looking like a potato sack. Look for a Maxi Slideshow in your next Style Forecast. --Gina Pell, Splendora Founder, Week of 5/16/08
