Why this maxi dress works:
1. It accentuates the waist.
2. It’s a good length.
3. It has just the right amount of volume.

Why the 3 maxi dresses on the bottom don’t work:
1. Too much volume, adding bulk to your frame.
2. Doesn’t enhance the waist enough, which makes it look like a sack.
3. Too long, which makes it look like a nightgown.

    That is very cute. It's really about getting out and trying on different versions of styles. My husband absolutely hated the shift dresses, but then I found one that had a good fit and he was all for it! It's not about the style but the way the style is made.
