I tried on a few maxi dresses and skirts today and hated how they looked on me and they look amazing on my friend. I don't know if I was styling it the right way or not. or maybe they're just not complementing on every body type. I'm fairly short, 5'5 and a little curvy (not in shape and no flat stomach lol)

Try to find a maxi dress with some shape and structure, like an elastic waist that flows into kind of an A-line. It'll hide your belly. Those straight, boxy, jersey maxi dresses don't do any favors to us ladies with some curves to our bellies. I like to style my maxi dresses with long necklaces and wedge sandals, and either a jean or leather jacket.

Not all maxi dresses work for every body type. The one I ended up with was belted and had a lower neckline, kind of just have to find the style of dress that is flattering for you. Maxi skirts are little easier if you're short (I'm 5'4) don't get discouraged though there are so many option of dresses out there for every body type :)

I love maxi dresses, I'm short lol, I'm 5'1 and usually wear them with wedges. Like Bailey said, but the ones with an elastic in the middle to accentuate your curves. I have a lot of maxi dresses, they're so versatile!!
