So I never were maxi skirts cuz I'm 5'1 and I feel like they make me shorter looking. but latly every time I see one I want it! they just really have my eye latly. so does anyone know any tricks or patterns that would make me appear not short? and where are some places that sell them? I only ever see them online!

When choosing a maxi dress, solid colors are your best bet, as this will give you a long, continuous line from top to bottom.? Coming in in second place is a small, consistent pattern? the general rule of thumb is that the size of the print should be no larger than your fist.

Aim for a top-of-the-toe-grazing length? whether you opt to wear heels or flats!? You want to?maxi-mize the line that the dress is giving you by stretching it out as far as possible!? This?Athena Petite Maxi Dress?from The Petite Shop is custom-designed to fall about 1/2? above the ground on a petite woman.

Wet seal, jcpenney, probably charlotte russe & forever 21. patters that go up & down make you look taller. I'm 5'1" too lol.

The most important thing about top would be that its fitted :-) I feel any tribal pattern would not have effect you want, as most of those are horizontal patterns.

I'm 5' 4 so I know what its like... a pic of one I like n blurb.. Choose solid versions that skim the length of your body, which will create a long vertical line (forego anything with thick pleats or too many layers.) Be sure to keep your top fitted?a tucked-in T-shirt and a cropped leather jacket, for example?so as to not drown in fabric. Also, make sure the skirt?s hemline is as long as you can go without tripping, and add a pair of wedges or heels underneath
