The Maxi Dress

The Maxi Dress. It's not just the name that irks me, but the length.

I haven't bought one myself but I see them on beautiful and tall college women. They wear them so well. So flowy.. I can't even imagine how it'd look on me. I'd be drowning in fabric.

This was the topic of the day for me and my coworker/friend as we waited our turn on the computer. We're both short, you see. With shortness, comes some impossibilities...

I can't even wear gauchos: On average, American size women, it comes down a little past the knee. For me, they're practically "flooding" pants. I do wear them but there are consequences. I work in a restaurant that has a little stage for a few tables. The stage is lifted just enough that I have to do an aerobic step up to get there. This is a dangerous situation.

Long gauchos + Big step + Anti-slip shoes = Uh oh. I've found myself on the brink of pants-ing MYSELF one too many times. I am my own bully. Thank God the stretchy material keeps me from actually completing the act!

There will probably never be a Maxi dress in my future but I'm ok with that. I'll enjoy being "fun" size and wearing heels.
