The few maxi dresses I've ever had I had the embarassing problem of needing air flow to the legs and ahem, nether region.  I felt suffocated in them and could never make them work, though I love the idea and look and layer-ability with a jean jacket over the top.

I had an a-ha moment while perusing F21 site when I found maxi dresses with a slit or opening in the front!  Yay!  I think these will work for me, filling a hole for the high summer hot days we have for 1-2 months here. Usually I just suck it up and wear jeans or crop pants. So if this works, they’ll really be great additions.

I also went for a couple off the shoulder and wide open necklines, because I know those usually work for me. 

One non-vented (!! haha) maxi did find its way into my cart, the original one mentioned (pic 4) by a blogger that I fell in love with at first sight.  I'm hoping I can make it work, or wear it in less hot weather. 

Here are the ones that are on the way to me.  Cross fingers! 

All of these were spurred by an upcoming beach trip, but if I can wear maxis in my daily life in summer, all the better!  Wish me luck.  Thanks for reading and any comments are welcome!

ETA: used YLF collect but didn't work, is that a glitch with F21 or me?
