Maxi(mum) Feminine Floral

Yesterday we dropped a Spring jacket roundup for everyone’s viewing pleasure. We tried to divide it up to be as easily digestible as possible, but we would love your feedback. Did you find it helpful? Was there something you felt was missing? Do you prefer we take other outfit posts and just throw the pictures in to show different styling? We want to hear from you, to make it as effective as possible. If you missed the post, click here!

As for today, I’m back and feeling glamorous in this incredible maxi dress (click here for direct link). I know one of the requests we’ve gotten repeatedly was for maxi dresses for tall women. This dress is the real deal. While it isn’t the easiest dress to get on due to all of the buttons, it is incredibly flattering and well fitting once it is on. It’s always worth mentioning the proportions are spot on when you’re buying from tall small businesses.

I especially love that the buttons end right above the knee to leave a slit in the front. Caitlin mentioned it with her Amalli Talli Malibu maxi dress (click here) that it makes it so much easier to walk. Not to mention, it elevates the sexiness for a flash of lower leg/calf. We can never fail to mention, that there are POCKETS. Ladies, I know you feel me here. There is nothing worse than not wanting to carry a purse or anything around all night. Enter pockets to the rescue. Everyone knows women have more things to carry around anyway, so if anyone shouldn’t have pockets, it’s men! Ok, I might be getting carried away there – but let’s declare pockets for all!

The print on this dress is also divine. Although I’m not partial to all floral, this moody print drew me in right away. It may be that it’s a bit edgier than other options, but whatever the reason, it will be on repeat this summer. I have to mention that the straps are adjustable, which I took advantage of due to my smaller chest. I could easily wear a strapless bra underneath it as well.

Like Caitlin has mentioned in posts before, I was feeling like my best self in this dress. It was form fitting but easy to move in. Although it shows flashes of skin, for the most part it covers me well. Obviously the best highlight as tall women, is the length. I was able to wear a strappy heeled sandal and it’s almost to the ground. I also grabbed what we’ll dub the purse of the summer, which is linked on our Amazon page here. Don’t forget we have larger shoe sizes linked on there as well!

Now that the weather is cooperating with us, I’ll be pulling this out to wear often. It could be worn to weddings, any showers you have, to brunch, to church, the list is really endless. Plus it’s on a ridiculously good sale. Don’t let the fact that it comes from Australia, deter you! Nat is always happy to answer any questions on sizing.

I’ll mention again that Australian sizing and United Kingdom sizing is 2 sizes smaller than ours. If you wear a 10 in U.S., you’d wear a 14 in UK/Aus. We saved up and purchased several pieces to get us over that free shipping threshold. Everyone knows that it’s better to spend a bit more than pay for shipping, right?! If you’re looking for other options, check out their new jeans! The stretch is unreal but the fit is so right. We posted about them here for the ripped pair, and here for the dark denim. Also, can’t forget the boyfriend blazer and lace top. Caitlin has worn them both so many times, and it is the ideal tall girl option. The blazer is also on a great sale. We’ll be posting about the Striped body con dress early next week, stay tuned!

We’ll be back in June for a maxi dress roundup of sorts. If anyone has any places in particular that they want included with this roundup, please let us know in the comments. We have a good mixture of retailers, but if you’re wondering about a specific retailer let us know!
