Is Anyone Still Buying Maxi Dresses ?

Are they still in, or did they finally go out ? I'm seeing mostly midi's or short dresses now. What say ye ?

If maxi dresses become passe, Evine will go out of business.

I own a couple, but I'm not crazy about them. In the summer, I put them on when I get home from work. I think they are still in this upcoming season.

I have several maxi dresses and a few skirts but mine are mostly straight enough that I can alter the length should I need to. I think we are ok with them for this year as the stores are still selling them but doesn't seem to be as many available in my area as last year. I may be heming some things soon.

I still own a few, but I've decided I won't anymore this summer. I'll just continue to wear what I decide to keep, and donate the others...thanks.

I never bought any maxi styles, but I see them worn around here--very popular in spring, summer, and fall--especially among teens and twenty-somethings. With the warm weather coming back to the South, I've seen several already this year.

I've seen many pretty maxi styles, but never for me. I like just above the knee length. The short short styles are mostly what I see for sale when I go shopping. Definitely not for me!

I do not know whether or not I'll buy any new ones. I plan to wear the summer ones I purchased last year.

I love them! Have maybe 4! With a wedge heel or a sandal they are so cute! And very comfy! I will be wearing them this summer. Live in a warmer area for the summer so they are perfect for our weather!

i have a nice collection right now and will still be wearing them. i have not bought any new ones yet this year.....but there is plenty of time. LOL

once you get tired of them you can turn them into shorter dresses or tunic tops.

I have 2 maxi dresses from Evine that I love and get compliments on every time I wear them. I won't be buying any news ones but I'll sure be wearing the ones I have when summer comes around!

I have four or five and I love wearing them to work in the summer with cropped short-sleeved open cardigans or a short jean jacket over them and a wedge sandal.

i have several, but i don't know if i'll buy any more. i'll have to see what's out there.

I think they'll be around for a while let. A lot of people really bought them for the past two years, and they enjoy that "flow" when they walk. Also, ladies that want to cover a little "more" wear them, although the light bottoms aren't the best choice.

i love my maxis because i can throw them on and not have to worry about my legs being too pale or properly pruned (lol) and figuring out which sandals look better

bummer...can't wear them until late May - they are all sundress styles

I have 3 summer maxi dresses that I need to shorten before I can wear them as they are too long. I bought them on sale last summer and the summer before that and haven't gotten around to having them shortened. As they are knit material I don't feel comfortable tackling it myself.

I love my Maxi dresses from Evine. Sandraskates I also get compliments when I wear them. I plan to purchase more. I love maxis in the spring, summer or whenever the weather permits. I love wearing sandals with them. Evine has great specials. I purchased one yesterday during clearance and it was $19.00 from Glitterscape. My first one from that line. When they present the new pieces I will purchase the TS, you can get really good pricing. My favorite is One World. But I like all the dresses I have purchased. I really like the hi lo.

I have two that I purchased for a trip to Aruba a few years ago. I will probably still wear them this Summer but do not plan on buying anymore this season. I never thought of having them hemmed though, that's a good idea that another poster mentioned.

I have never seen anyone who looks good in a maxi. I know, I know you get lots of compliments but what is said when you walk away?
