Are you taking about underwear or shoes?
as someone who has terrible spider veins from ankle to knee, I am THRILLED Maxi's are still in style and that I have this option! We have a wedding in July and I can relax knowing my legs won't be an embarrassment to me and my family. I love that I can get a maxi and alter it to ballerina length or whatever I need as well, and not look like an over-the-hill ,wanna be bridesmaid, gone wrong There are fabrics out there that are more forgiving. I bought this one hopefully for the wedding,it looks like it shows every bump etc, but it really doesn't, the layered effect is especially helpful and I can wear a normal bra, not a strapless which is a make or break for me.
$45 (on sale)

I love getting a maxi style skirt, because it gives me so many options, plus I don't feel comfortable in shorter skirts/dresses.
I found it at Carson's...Bergner's for the East Coast. Here is the link. I hit a sale and then had an additional 25% offFIN Where did you find this dress. I MUST have it. So gorgeous. Please tell me they have it in plus sizes.
I can't stand them. I know many people love them and think they're flattering but I have never seen one and thought it looked good or flattering. Sorry.
I am 5'9... but also pear shaped and no matter how many sit ups I do the lower belly is not flattening out. I like that a maxi doesn't put pressure on my back like some jeans do because below the waist is taking up all the "give"I wear maxi dresses and maxi skirts all year long. When they go out of style, I'll still be wearing them. I've always preferred a dress to pants or shorts. I'm 5'4 almost 5'5 and I never feel swamped by the length. I'm pear shaped, so I love the straighter styles that accent the waist, show the arms and minimize the thighs. Maxis are a pear-shaped girl's best friend.
That particular skirt I got at anthropologie.com, it was a little pricey but for a special occasion. I love Macy's and Boscov's. lol truthfully zappos had some really nice ones also.Eliza61 & finfan ~ where did you get your's?

I love this! Hibiscus are my favorite flower, and soooo tropical!That's so interesting Miskey because I love them for my thunder thighs
I picked this up a couple of weeks ago for the summer, it covers and hides my thighs so well and it's not clinging.
I'm a shorter (5'4) fat girl and I rock me some maxi dresses. I live in the desert and it gets miserable hot. I need some air flow! Anyways I love maxi dresses and skirts.
It can be challenging to flatter the figure depending on where the waist is but I wear alot of belts and scarves as belts to create a smaller waist if I feel it needs it.
Some one mentioned wanting maxi dresses with sleeves...I just bought a couple! Again it's not the small lady section so not for everyone but here are a couple I bought recently
I bought them Avenue online. I don't know if there are anymore brick mortar stores left.love 'em! Bought from where? online or brick and mortar?
Me too! I'm 5'5 & a bigger chest.I usually don't have a problem with my arms but I hate them in maxi dresses.I try them on every year hoping I'll find one.I look freakish in them and feel extremely self conscious in them. I'm 5'8" and while not fat, I have a huge chest. I also hate my exposed arms.
