You said you got new boots, but I don’t know what they look like. Still, there were plenty of ideas for wearing the maxi in Colo’s quick-changing weather. Add or subtract tights or leggings and your new lux hoodie or knit blazer as needed. </p> <p>ETA just saw how old this post is.

It's really difficult to find clothes that fits her small frame in the high street, but Asos usually works for her. They have a large selection of petite maxi dresses (check out the sale section too!).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023289 Tue, 30 Apr 2019 01:08:45 +0000 ChristelJ 2023289@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like the v neck and the overall shape!

The ones on my legs and ankles and feet swell, itch horribly and last for weeks.<br /> What colors do not attract mosquitoes as much? That’s a new concept to me. I must learn more! I do sometimes use strong repellent but don’t want to do that on a daily basis. Finding clothing that at least partially covers my body while I water the garden or walk a few blocks seems like a compromise I can live with. I can certainly use effective repellents though, so will look for the Avon product you suggested, thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023247 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 21:16:49 +0000 Anonymous 2023247@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Don't the mosquitos still bite your arms, neck and any skin showing?&nbsp; I have heard that color also makes a difference.&nbsp; None of the dresses you show are bright or white.&nbsp;<br /> I've not tried it recently but amny people swear by Avon Skin so Soft.&nbsp; It is a bit oily but I remember that it worked for me.&nbsp; I use the Cutter stuff for campers and hikers to keep ticks of too.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023241 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 20:48:02 +0000 rholmes27 2023241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe Soft Surroundings?

Or after sweating. They love me too unfortunately I have friends that make bug spray too, also citronella and herb based, but haven't put it through its paces yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023231 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 20:05:09 +0000 ChristelJ 2023231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suntiger, great excuse for me to head to the beach! It's only 2 hours away, hmmmm... The Eco Armour recommendation could change my life if it works on me. I am somewhat allergic to the bites and they have been a cause of great misery since I moved to the humid South. Thanks so much! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023230 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 20:01:26 +0000 ChristelJ 2023230@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never would have thought of that, Jenni NZ, but it sounds brilliant! There are no Chinatowns within hours of me, but I might look for boutiques that sell Indonesian clothing. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023228 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 20:00:17 +0000 Anonymous 2023228@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have luck at the beach as far as maxis :)<br /> Look at Eco Armour as far as mosquito spray-all natural, pricy, but it Works. Even in wetlands-the skeeters will stay about a foot away and not come closer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023223 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 19:47:03 +0000 Jenni NZ 2023223@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Asia, ChristelJ. I have bought 2 in the past few years, one in Cairns (Queensland, Australia) that was made in Indonesia, and one in Bali, Indonesia last year. I am 5 foot 2, the Indonesian ladies are all short. Try any Chinatown in a city near you maybe? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/petite-maxi-dresses-where-to-find#post-2023206 Mon, 29 Apr 2019 18:51:07 +0000 ChristelJ 2023206@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a lovely dress, thank you LAR101.

Can anyone help me find a source for petite maxi-dresses? They have become a summer staple for me, and I've worn to death the three I own.</div><div><br /></div><div> I've searched Nordstrom, Macy's and Boden, and those that would suit me are either sold out in my size (6 in Boden) or seemingly non-existent.&nbsp; So many are too skimpy to wear a bra with, and so many are&nbsp; black, a color that washes me out. Also, when I search for maxi-dresses, I get a large number of midi-dresses in the results,&nbsp; not sure why...<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Requirements: <br /></div><div>Petite length or short enough for 5'3"</div><div>Can wear a bra with</div><div>Sleeveless (or short, loose sleeves such as flutter sleeves)</div><div>No solid black or dominant black <br /></div><div><br /></div><div>I'm attaching pics of the three I own. I usually wear the tie-dye one belted. I'm open to other sorts of styles!</div><div>I should add that the reason they must be floor-length is that keeps the wretched mosquitoes off my ankles! Works quite well, really.</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks in advance if you have any tips!<br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div> </p>
