Maxi dresses are very elegant, but can be a hard fit on a petite frame. It is all about finding the right cut. If you’re under 5′ 2″ tall, I highly suggest a fitted maxi or one with a thigh high slit. This will undoubtedly avoid the bag lady appearance and it’ll compliment your body type. I love a high slit because it instantly elongates the appearance of your legs. Score! Whether you are out running errands or it’s date night, a maxi with a slit will do the trick. This short sleeve brown and white maxi is a new favorite.

I have always been a huge fan of black and brown combinations! There is something so crisp about neutrals on neutrals (as seen here). The slit allows for this piece to go dressy or casual. At only five feet tall, it is a rare occasion for the length to be just right out of the box. I gave myself a boost with a pair of black sandals. I took the dressy route (surprise surprise!) and styled this dress with a Prada “Executive Tote” and retro Karen Walker sunnies. Stay tuned for another look from Make Me Chic!
