The Long and the Short of It {{Maxi Dress Lengths}}

Hi Mermaids,

Maxi Dresses are one of our favorite pieces of clothing to wear in the Spring and Summer.  We love how versatile they are, you can add a light cardi, sandals, heels ect to dress them up or down.  I am 5'5 and always find length to be an issue for me.  In my last blog post I talked about tying your maxi dress as a great alternative if you do not like the length (either too long or short), the side knot makes me love every maxi dress I own.

We are sharing two great maxi dresses with you today that are restocks and comparing the length.  Both of these dresses are from the designer Flying Tomato which has been a NBG favorite for over a year and a half.  To give you a great reference the ideal length maxi for me would be 53 inches in length if I am wearing flats (and I am 5'5 as stated above).  Keep in mind that for each size you go up there is typically half an inch to 3/4 of an inch added in length.  


Our Bria Maxi is great for taller ladies.  Size Small is aprox 57 inches in length and for this dress I side knot the bottom as seen in our previous post or wear wedges.

Next up we have our Risa Maxi Dress.  This dress is great for shorter or average  ladies as the small is 54 inches long.  This dress has adjustable straps so it is a bit forgiving either way.  53 inches is my ideal length for a maxi so I can wear this with flats ect.  


Below is a length recommendation for your height (remember we are all built differently so this is just a helpful guide, you know your body best).  This recommendation is based on you wearing flats, please take into consideration heel height. If you ever have a question on length please do not hesitate to email us at nobellagrace@gmail.com  One of the best ways to figure out your perfect length is measuring your favorite maxi dress and seeing how it compares to the ones you are interested in. 

5'0 = 48 inches in length
5'2 = 50 inches in length
5'4 = 52 inches in length
5'6 = 54 inches in length 
5'8 = 56 inches in length
