Long dresses

Although I never wear long dresses, I'm really drawn to this one. She looks so ethereal. What do you think, my sweets? Thumbs up or thumbs down?

P.S. An adorable long maternity dress.

  3. Adorable dress, but she can't be a day over thirteen years old. Maybe I'll wear it in my next life though... :-)

  4. Thumbs up! We both have long dresses on the brain! I usually only wear them to lounge around the house or for flights. But I really like that one.

  6. Thumbs way up! It's not overbearing like some you see, she looks gorgeous!

  7. I never wear long dresses either and wish I did. I think it's because I'm tall. They never seem to be long enough. Nothing worse than an unflattering mid-calf cut!

  8. It's suuuuuuuuuper sweet! I loved it. Super like long dresses, they are so confy to wear.

    I love your blog!

  10. I give it a thumbs up, but with a caveat; not everyone can pull it off.

    I love it in the olive color on the right.

  11. I'm torn. I love long dresses and have quite a few myself, but I don't know if I like how full the skirt on this one is. It's definitely not for the shorter girls!

  14. I like it! I love wearing long dresses - though not compared to my brother, I'm pretty tall.... so they don't totally drown me

  17. It looks amazing on the model, but I'm afraid anything that length and that shape makes me look pregnant--and I am certainly not! (the shoes and jacket are awesome though).

    ReplyDelete
  18. thumbs way up for sures!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I could definitely get on board with this dress, I love the color and accordion pleats. The only issue I'm having is the mock turtleneck. It's a little too 1970's Marianne Faithful, if you know what I mean.

    It is very romantic. I would love to wear it!

    ReplyDelete
  28. the short jacket is what keeps it from looking like a nightgown.....

    i love it, too :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I wouldn't wear it but I think it looks great on her!!

    ReplyDelete
  30. As a concept, they are okay, but realistically, they make most women look like a sister-wife or just plain frumpy.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Oof, I don't know about this one. It's boxy to the max. Maybe with a belt?

    ReplyDelete
  32. great dress!! i love long dresses, but mostly on other people since i feel too short to pull them off...

    ReplyDelete
  33. Thumbs up on the look but you have to be careful when wearing it, make sure you have the right body type otherwise it will be the perfect maternity dress on a non pregnant body :)

    ReplyDelete
  34. I really really REALLY want that dress. Might have to ask for that as an early birthday gift.

    Yum!

  35. thumbs all the way up! I LIVE in maxi dresses during the warm weather- lucky for me, I live in SoCal so this attire is always an option :) LOVE this dress!

    ReplyDelete
  36. thumbs up! I love the complete look!

    ReplyDelete
  37. I just love long dresses Joanna, I wear them in the summer all the time and lately I'm seeing women wear them with boots in the winter, so chic! I need to stop being scared and give it a try:)

    ReplyDelete
  38. Definitely thumbs up! I wish I had the courage to wear long dresses - I'm tall enough but they simply feel weird once on, after the million short skirts I've had.

  39. thumbs up!!
    but I have to admit that I also never really did wear such a dress.. :)
    but I love the look anyways!

    ReplyDelete
  40. Absolutely a thumbs up! Perfect pairing with a cropped sweater and belt!

  41. Love the maternity dress !!! Deciding factor for Mr Aditha to get the second baby going.... :-)

    (sorry for my english !)

  42. Love it. She looks great. However, I might look like a housefrau in this I love the beige and olives and wedge boots, too!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Thumbs up! I not only love maxi dresses but also have one. Check it ou Jo:

    I love it and I want to have one more! :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. for sure thumbs up. always love when comfort and style come together :)

    ReplyDelete
  45. The dress is cute but I could NEVER wear it. I'm short and the long dresses make me look stunted and disproportionate.

    ReplyDelete
  46. absolutly Thumbs UP..she looks adorable-beautiful with this dress!

    ReplyDelete
  47. love long dresses! being so tall, it's hard to find some that are long enough, but when you do, it's great! so flattering and elongating!

    ReplyDelete
  48. Love the olive color. I think I'd belt it or pair it with a longer, buttoned cardigan. If you're not a stick it's pretty hard to pull off the "no shape" shape.

    ReplyDelete
  49. There is something magical about how billowy the dress is. So just add someone following me around with a low-powered wind machine and I'm sold!

    ReplyDelete
  50. I just saw this over on Ref 29 and I am in love with it. If it was just a little cheaper, I would buy it...

  51. I love long dresses. I wear it during summer often day and night. So dreamy..

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love long dresses. I have to say, I'm not crazy about the high neck on this dress though. The boots are adorable, as well as the little blazer

    ReplyDelete
  53. Love it! I don't think it's out of the question for 30-somethings at all! I have a similar dress. It just depends on how you wear it and accessorize it. Plus if you have funky style, you can wear ANYTHING and make it look great! Aren't we learning something from all the killer style blogs out there? Style isn't a recipe....it's an expression! Let you be you in whatever you want to wear! xo

  54. I love it. Long dresses always make me feel chic and put together. I'm pregnant now and have looked at that French Connection dress a few times online : ) So pretty.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Beautiful! It's funny that I read this today, because today I'm wearing my first maxi dress in my 85 Dress Challenge (I'll be posting it up later this afternoon, if you're interested).

  56. So funny that you would post this, as I have plans to run over to the fabric store on my lunch break to buy a jersey knit to makea long dress tonight!! Yesterday, I just wanted this dress that I could imagine in my mind, and tonight, I'm going home after work to make it :)

    ReplyDelete
  57. Hmm... that's a tough one. I'd worry that without the wind, the stick-like figure, and the impish downcast look, the dress might just look like a nightgown. I wouldn’t want people to confuse me with the 90-year-old woman upstairs, now would I?

    The blazer is spot on though so it’s not all for naught :)

    ReplyDelete
  58. love this dress!! and i live in maxi dresses in the summer - they are so easy especially with a little one!

    ReplyDelete
  59. thumbs up for flowy and ethereal.

    thumbs up if you look like a ballerina.

    ReplyDelete
  61. i feel silly in long dresses. that one looks pretty though. i had to laugh at the above comment about if you look like a ballerina :)

    ReplyDelete
  62. I think long dresses are so lovely and elegant! In the summertime I live in them, they feel so flowy and graceful... Plus they are very forgiving!

    ReplyDelete
  63. love long dresses, they just scream ease.

    ReplyDelete
  64. I've got a long dress (I'm 5'2") and I love love LOVE it. It's free flowing and flatters my body quite well. Who knew!

    ReplyDelete
  65. Wardrobe staple. Pregnant/nursing or not. So comfy, elegant and wonderful.
    A total go.

    ReplyDelete
  66. nice dress! i am seeing a lot of long dresses lately. the only time i wore a long dress was when i was pregnant, but i might reconsider strutting this new trend around town now with my two year old tot.

    ReplyDelete
  67. thumbs down. that dress is probably only flattering on women that are 6 feet tall and 110 pounds...with no hips. i would look ridiculous in it.

    ReplyDelete
  68. thumbs up to the dress AND to the shoes. : ) Lovely. I think I would feel serene all day in a dress like that.

    ReplyDelete
  69. I think it's lovely...for the right figure. The wearer should be tall and thin (seems like you are, so go for it!) But for me (early 40s, post-pregnancy bulge) not so much. And I'm not sure about the short jacket either. Seems too ...something. Trendy? Twenty-something? I don't know.

    ReplyDelete
  70. Thumbs up! I love long dresses, especially ones like this, with that flowy romantic feel.

    ReplyDelete
  71. I am loving the long lengths! and I am loving your blog! I am new to the blog world, and so excited to be a part! I will have to pull some long dresses out!

    Would love your help with my Blog Header! It is a Giveaway too!

    ReplyDelete
  73. Of course thumbs up! I'm dreaming to wear it!

    ReplyDelete
  74. big thumbs up! (I'm 5'11" and couldn't be happier about the maxi trend; a lot of those adorable "dresses" that have been coming out of late are completely inappropriate on my frame.) But after over indulging on the shoe front (and contemplating one...more...pair! for spring!), I'm going to have to make my own maxi skirts/dresses.

    ReplyDelete
  75. I love long dresses and so glad they are back in style! This one is gorgeous also.

    ReplyDelete
  76. oh yeah, big fat thumbs up from me too. I also covet a long floaty number - and I'm searching for the perfect one - but deep down I know they just don't suit me...(insert sigh)...

    Excellent information and facts. Only real difficulty I was basically receiving was viewing the pics. No idea exactly why.

    I agree, for the most part, but don’t you feel as if the issue is more complex than that?
