Ok so it's spring where i live and i love the long (to the floor) flowing dresses, im quite short but very skinny could i still pull off wearing one?

Of course you can, but be very careful when you're choosing maxi dresses (:

> Choose a style with the right length for your height. Overly long hemlines can take inches off your height so make sure you get the right length to flatter your figure.

> Choose heels which will give you enough height to make you look feminine and glamorous. Patent platforms and wedge heels are great for this season.

> Stop a long, full skirt from swamping you by adding a fitted waistcoat on the top.

> Don't over accessorize a flowing maxi with a belt as it will ruin the line of the dress

> Wear small floral patterns instead of block-colors or larger prints.

> Choose a light color

> Don't layer your clothes. A simple shrug or cropped cardigan will do the trick. Alternatively choose a short fitted jacket.

> Don't be afraid of volume but choose the cut wisely. An empire line with a flowing skirt flatters the narrowest part of the body and doesn't swamp your frame.

Ask/Tell me anything (:
