I love maxi dresses, they are so feminine. Unfortunately, I cannot wear them as am a bit too short and they make me look like a Russian doll rather than a delicate petal. :) x
lucky gal. i adore the christ benz color block dress.
the stella and phillip lim are my favs! and bummer, i wanted the scarf :)
I'm desperately searching for a Maxi-skirt! Until now I could't find one I really like. But I'm definitely into some of your proposals! Thanks!
Congrats to the winner! :)
I love these maxis, but I can't wear too, because I'm a short girl. :)
XoXo
I love maxi dresses.....and the elegance that comes with them and Victoria Secret always has a lot of beautiful affordable ones.....
congrats to the winner
Gorgeous! I love the maxi because a) they are so forgiving :) and, b) they are so comfortable on a hot summer day.
Lovely post :)
Congrats Jennifer, the 3rd dress reminded me of the Denver Broncos!
I'm soo ready for maxi's. How sweet and relaxing to wear:)
thanks!! I know I'm in love with that Balmain jacket... too bad it's "a bit" out of my budget... ;)

i am not very fond of long dresses but i would definetly wear these. congrats cc for the beautiful posts!
i'm in serious love with most of those maxi dresses. and i really have no idea why i don't own one...i NEED to get one.
I LOVE MAXIS!
Can I please please say that every girl that thinks they are too short for maxis is WRONG!
I am SHORT! I am 5'5" and EVERYTIME I wear a Maxi, people comment on either A) how slim I look or B) how tall I look. Without fail!
So please people, everyone can wear a maxi - big, small, tall, short, it looks good on everyone!
Don't believe me? Come look on my blog! I'm short AND big!
That wee rant aside, I have to say that the Foley and Corrina one and the Gypy 05 silk tube dress, are so awesome!!!
Would buy them, but I just got a yellow maxi today from Urban Outfitters :)
The last dress is adorable! It's can be very, very feminine!
Have a great day, darling!

In fact, I'm just gonna have to make a post on how everyone looks good in a maxi!
i'm in the market for a maxi!
IN LOOOVE with stella resort. isn't it incredible??!!
ah.
xxxx
i'm glad you do. it's twice as healthy than the banana and it's more eficient in the battle against cancer.
I'm for the Cameron colorblock! Sooo bright and cheerful. Perfect for summer!
Hello, darling! Wow... It's only been an hour and already so many comments... :) Just thought I'd drop you a line to thank you for adding me to the "important list". :) Have a nice day! xxx
lovely maxis! I'll have to have one this summer!
I want them all!! Please, can I have them all?? :)
Congratulations to the winner.
Oh I'm such a big fan of maxis.... since I'm not very tall but I'm not petite I think I can pull them off.
Just a question are just maxis dresses that come back or maxi skirts too?
Thank you for such always great posts, CC
xoxo
the white dress is beautiful! i loved it....
the t bags feathery one & the one with the cool cut out sleeves...i lost count & can't seem to figure out what's what!!
cant wait to have mine... specially for this summer
Ok, I got it, the Mara Hoffman, but I just looked it up and it's over $600....hello, recession much??
When they first came out I wasn't a huge fan, but they've grown on me since then. It's a very casual glam look for summer! I like the Gestuz abstract print number.
I so do love maxi dresses, especially being a mom, I can't always prance around in spikes and leather..lol! Love the post!
xo!

You really know how to find the IT items Carrie! I love your picks! Another great post lady. Thanks for sharing! Love the Maxi's btw :)
I love maxis, they fit right in with my comfy yet chic aesthetic as of late.
I agree, EVERYONE looks great in a maxi! I'm only 5'4 and I've found they're quite flattering!
Yay great post CC! XOXO
Love the drama of the last photo.
Gahhh I was having such a horrible, terrible, miserable day and then I saw your message that I won!! Yay! Thanks, Carrie!! :)
And I love those dresses, especially the brightly colored ones. I wish I was tall so I could wear them properly (well, without them dragging on the floor, haha).
My mom is buying maxi dresses like they are going out of style.
congrats to contest winner! love maxi dresses, there is something so luxurious but unrushed about them in an easy but dressed up way.
Love the Stella blue one! it is gorge, the Gypsy 05 is so effortless!
muah x

congrats to the winner!
I can't wait for the weather to be good enough for wearing my maxi.
Congratulations to the winner!
J'adore the T-Bags Jersey V-Neck Maxi Dress. So gorgeous!
thank sweety for your com, he is gone in my heart! ^^
i love the last dress! gorgeous!
Congratulations to Jennifer :) I have always loved maxi dresses, a lot of my friends hate them, but I think they look perfect for summer. I love that Catherine Malandrino dress, it's simple but so beautiful. And wow, the print of that Tibi dress towards is the end is so amazing!
TOO short for this look... le sigh! Orrrr maybe if I was RAIL thin it would look alright... NEVER going to get taller... le sigh!
That Foley dress is divine.
oh cc, I love them all!
I'm with you on the Tbags one - perfect!
oooh i'm jealous but congrats to jennifer!
I love maxi dresses too, and that rainbow one at the end is too pretty. I bought a tie dyed blue and grey maxi dress and it is so comfortable and sexy to wear by the beach! Great blog entry. XoXo. Can't wait to wear my dress again now!
May I have one of each of these, please? A maxi always manages to look elegant AND comfortable! Genius!
I recently discovered how much I love maxi dresses. they are so great, the only thing is I have to hem every one that i buy.
As you can probably tell, LOVE maxi dresses, the first dress, by Stella McCartney, is my favourite, absolutely beautiful & elegant! :)
xx
Aww Carrie these dresses are beautiful.
How are you? Haven't gotten in touch in a while. :)
I love the T-bags dress most! Great selection u have here =]
I am way too self-conscious to wear the maxi dress. I'm short! But I do love the pink tube dress. Lovely degrade colors!
Those are all beautiful. Great photos. I hope your week has been a good one. The weekend is almost here.
I am loving that deep purple one
i really dont know if i can pull off a maxi but even if i could they're all still to short and look really awkward on me because they're not long enough!!
*sigh* those maxi dresses are sooo beautiful.
Congrats to the winner!
And i love the maxi dresses that you posted carrie.. Makes me want to buy one ^o^

These are so lovely! I have yet to come across the perfect maxi dress in the stores...
I was never a fan of the maxi dress but these look gorgeous. I actually love the 'Gestuz abstract print satin maxi dress, at asos.com' one.
Thanks for your reply. I never realised you could see editorial and photo shoots there. Thank you. x
LOVE THE LAST!! (the green)
Thanks so much for visit my blog! I hope see you soon! =)
