I absolutely love maxi dresses. They are so easy, comfortable and perfect for summer. The only problem I have with them is the length... sometimes they're too short, or too long. I wonder if it's worth it to get them altered.

@Fashionista: Definitely! Small alterations can make a big difference in your clothes. I love maxi dresses, too - they feel as comfy as nightgowns.

Ali Larter's dress is so long - how does she not trip over the hem?

I love the idea of maxi dresses, but wouldn't they be hot?

I had no idea that Jennifer Anniston was short!

I love them but it would be nice to see one on larger women and not Jennifer. Just to see how one could wear it and not look huge.

Great dress...and Jen is not tall and it still looks perfect

@ Miriam- there's a section for curvy gals in the article!

@Yay, I always thought that she was small framed and closer to 5'4" but she is 5'6". I was surprised by that.

I am so glad to read this article. I am short and always thought icouldn't wear the maxi dresses. The tip about finding a dress that skims the floor will be useful for me when I go shopping for a maxi dress.
