Might want to dip your toe in the pool with an inexpensive piece from Old Navy or Target and see if you like them <i>and </i>will wear them.&nbsp; I find a pretty belt and fab shoes go a long way to making maxis shine. </p> <p>Mullet dresses (high-low) are also super fab and easier for more shapes to wear flatteringly.</p> <p>And, you have wonderful legs. Mine are pale, pale white. Even after a long weekend in the sun. Ghost white. Know what?&nbsp; I still wore shorts.&nbsp; I decided this year I had enough of being uncomfortable because others might not want to see how pale I am.&nbsp;Too bad for them! My legs take&nbsp;me where&nbsp;I want to go, no point making them hot and sticky to do it&nbsp; :)&nbsp; Life is too short, wear what you love and be comfortable doing it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973563 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:31:49 +0000 DonnaF 973563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just make sure you wear relatively delicate footwear to go with your slender stems -- just as I stick to fairly chunky footwear to go with my chunky legs.&nbsp; It sounds like you have the perfect body to rock a maxi! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973547 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:05:37 +0000 shaz 973547@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ill break myself in gently i think start of by wearing them in the house in front of the pets if they don't hide them maybe ill brave outside </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973544 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:01:16 +0000 Janet 973544@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I can show my legs (which are long but not skinny), you can show yours! I decided to stop hiding in jeans in our hot summers. I actually find that the more I expose my legs, the more accepting I am of them.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973543 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 18:00:58 +0000 Anonymous 973543@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hahah yes, mullet dresses. I prefer the ones that aren't as extreme from front to back. </p> <p>Maybe try dresses with a blouson top as well to get some volume so you don't feel like you are just a straight stick up and down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973540 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:58:33 +0000 shaz 973540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ah mullet dresses now i understand lol thanks ceit&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973537 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:57:34 +0000 Anonymous 973537@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, your legs aren't too skinny from what I remember about your posts before!</p> <p>Try looking for maxis with a hem that is shorter in front and dips down at the back. Like the photo I have attached. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973532 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:53:46 +0000 shaz 973532@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks lol but ive hid them away since kids used to chase me round in my school days singing skinny legs at me lol these things stick.

Welcome back to posting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/roasting-rectangle#post-973521 Mon, 08 Jul 2013 17:45:53 +0000 shaz 973521@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi, im facing another summer of roasting away in my jeans, i really hate my legs lol. I was wondering can a tall rectangle get away with wearing a maxi dress without looking like a stick of liquorice. Ant tips gratefully received&nbsp; </p>
