Re: Got my Bob Mackie maxi today , A254285

I bought two colors...blue multi and teal multi. Love both of them. I like the fabric because it hangs really well. I find that other maxi dresses in lighter fabrics tend to ride up and twist. The cap sleeve balances the dress and the large print design.

I ordered two sizes, 1X and 2X. I normally wear a 1X but decided to keep the 2X because I have a large bust (42DD). It fits perfectly from top to bottom.

Hope Bob makes more maxi dresses. His designs and patterns are great for this style of dress...keep them coming!

Debt - I wanted the teal but by the time i decided it was gone in my size. When something good comes on QVC you have to make up your mind fast and have flying fingers on the phone! I am very happy with the red, as it is exactly the same color as garnets and I have a lot of garnet jewelry. I think a pair of stud earrings and a simple bracelet will be all needed with this dress.

I was wondering - did you hang them on a hanger? They are a knit and so heavy I am afraid of the length growing so I neatly folded mine and put it on a shelf with my sweaters.

I have a Bob Mackie wrap dress that is beautiful as well. It is teal blue with a fleur de lee design. Only problem is it is long sleeve and heavy fabric - so I only wear it in winter.

I received mine too and love it. I got the purple multi which as tones of coral in it. Lovely pattern and colors. Got the XL but could have gone with the L for a slimmer fit.

It is a bit heavy but should be fine in air conditioned places. Love that it doesn't wrinkle so I have just folded this up for now instead of hanging it. Should be excellent for travel.

I loved that this one came in regular and petite. I was on the fence because I am not a maxi person but I think this might be my first Bob and my first Maxi.

I wore it to church with a shrug for more arm coverage in our air conditioned church - it was not too warm (as i feared it may be) and i took off the shrug when we went to breakfast later with DH's family and it was comfortable then too - sitting in the shade at the beach, where there was a breeze. I did receive a few compliments on my pretty dress.

Mine is long - right to the floor - and i wear a 32"" pants inseam. I had to change my shoes to some with a small heel.
