FAIL. EXTRA FAIL because Brits are the best at comedy. This isn't remotely funny because it is absent of the subtlety (not to mention the adroit seriousness) of beautiful Brit humor. It's not "over the top", it's barely squeaks under the door jamb. The actress is smug....oh god...rushing into the realm of "wink, wink,…

Yeah it’s good to have the “screw the haters” attitude, but we all have soft spots. It’s very nice to know that I’m not the only one using Maxi dresses as my self-conscious crutch. Whatever helps us feel pretty has got to be a good thing.

I am an atheist. My legs are one of my favorite features, and I lasered almost all of the hair off so I don’t have to worry about shaving. So I have absolutely nothing to hide.

I worked at J Crew years ago at the tail end of grunge, when long skirts were a thing, and a LOT of Orthodox Jewish girls came into our store and gushed about how easy it was then to find clothes that were both trendy and acceptable.

Have a kid. When my daughter falls asleep in the car, like she did on the way to a park by my wife’s family a few years ago, I hang out in the car with her. In the park instance, she was asleep for about an hour.

You clearly don’t have a kid. They have the habit of refusing to take naps at home and falling asleep in cars only when you get to the place you’re going, that they swore they’d stay awake for.

Oh, it was supposed to be satire.

A Modest Proposal this is not.

And NOBODY is cray-cray enough to want to kidnap four kids at once.

Oh, I know exactly how your daughter feels. I used to wear cute dresses when I was little. But once my disease activated at puberty I couldn’t anymore. I went almost 20 years wearing clothes that didn’t fit and I hated until I found maxis that looked good and fit right. Now I can sew my own. The commenters have been…

I got left in a car which was subsequently “attacked” by cows as a child, and I turned out just fine.

ugh me too....like wtf this mean:“Never ever find yourself on a Saturday morning standing in between this woman and the entrance to her neighborhood Drybar.” hahaha omg only shallow bitches get blow outs, i guess?

I fucking challenge any stylist to put my body in a maxi dress and proclaim it’s fantastic for my body type. It cannot be done and they would be lying through their teeth.

I was really disappointed by this.

As someone who wears knee braces everyday, maxi dresses are a goddamn lifesaver for those days/events where I don’t want to have to explain to everyone I run into and asks “What happened?!” Somehow, genetic condition is never the answer they seem to want to hear. I should just lie and make up something about getting…

I know this is written as satire and meant to be comical, but it stings. I have a condition called FSGS which is a kidney disorder that causes swelling in the ankles and, depending on how bad it is, all the way up my legs. Therefore “fit and flirty” dresses aren’t an option for me. The Chicago winter has me wearing…

dear jezebel,

Nope. Nope nope nope. You see, maxi dresses are a lifesaver for girls like me. I am self-conscious as fuck and normally regulate myself to jeans during the summer. However, there are certain days when it becomes so hot that I just can’t do it. The thought of baring my naked legs is enough to keep me in jeans, even if…

I enjoy wearing dresses, but have legs battered by years of dermatitis and other skin issues, so I don’t like having my legs hang out. So I like me a maxi dress.
