Boho Maxi Dresses Under $50

It seems like every summer the Maxi dress comes back around—do you shout for joy or run the other way? Worried you'll get lost in the length? If you find one that fits right, the maxi can be flattering, and there's nothing more comfy on a summer's day. If you're ample up top, try a tank style (so you can wear a bra) or a halter top that has a supportive band underneath. If you're shorter, go for one with an empire cut so when you get it hemmed the proportion isn't thrown off. A boho-print maxi dress in a smaller print won't overpower, no matter what you're size. These six maxi dresses are all under $50, so you can try out the style without too much of an investment.

I saw one that I really like at Suzy Shier but I didn't end up getting it because it was obviously too long. So I'm wondering...where is the dress supposed to end? Like are they supposed to go all the way and touch the floor or stop short at the ankles or somewhere in between? | |
@Takoda, I know exactly what you mean! I'm at 5'1'', if not shorter, and I swear I get stockier by the day! I have a problem with wearing a dress that will be cinched at a waist far too high or low than my own, which makes me look pretty wide. I hate that! and since I'm not one of those size zeros, I have to really watch for what will make me seem smaller, but not shorter. | |
Thanks Siofan, those are great tips and yes I will let you know how I make out. | |
I will absolutely wear these this summer. It's perfect for my bump! | |
@takoda I know it's a tough one when you're petite. I think the old rule of vertical stripes still holds true (like the Roxy one above), they do make you look longer. Also, chevron patterns can be good. Stay away from too full skirts, you'll look lost in all that fabric! They likely won't make you look taller, but make sure you get one that cinches in at the ribs, you'll look leaner which helps with looking longer. Let me know if you try some on and find one you like! | |

Whenever I see someone wearing a maxi dress down the street, I see heads turn everywhere. It's not often that you see a summer dress worn long! | |
I absolutely LOVE these dresses. They always look so ridiculously long on the racks so I think most people will probably need to hem them (especially me since I'm quite short lol). I do think that they look better on taller people though. |
