I hear ya, lady! I have a skin condition that makes my legs look terrible sometimes. When I get tired of jeans or leggings (yep, still rocking those) I throw on a maxi dress and I look and feel fucking awesome.

I read the headline, got pissed, skipped the article, came down here to read the huge number of comments defending my FAVORITE ITEM OF CLOTHING OF ALL TIME, and felt way better.

My daughter loves wearing dresses but stopped wearing them because she contracted a strain of warts and then a skin infection from the treatment for the warts. However, she will proudly wear her maxi dresses and skirts feels great in them. So I hope you continue to feel good in yours, too. This “article” is really…

Please don’t let this stupid article get to you. Maxi dresses are awesome! Honestly, just about everyone looks fine in a maxi-dress. The models pictured above look fine. I’m super short and hour-glass shaped and I look fine. And I bet you do too! Knowing that you’re upset takes me from rolling my eyes at this writer…

Fuck this article in all of its holes. As if we don’t get enough fucking information about what we are supposed to be wearing, it’s all gonna conflict with itself and it’s stupid. I’m sure you can rock a maxi dress, because as many people in the comments are pointing out, plenty of people can. :)

Maxi dresses are awesome, you are awesome, and this article is dumb. I feel like someone forgot that feminism fought for women to be able to wear comfortable clothing too.

Stop it. Stop RIGHT NOW.

You are fine, screw what one ornery rando chick’s opinion is. I’m sure they look beautiful on you, and more importantly, you like them. So you should wear them!

I’m hugely insecure about my body, and maxi dresses are one of the only nice/dressy things I can wear that don’t make me feel completely self conscious and awkward. Reading this article, I felt alternately like “You’re clearly a bitchy person with a bad day, to care so much about what other women wear and to be so…

Any article of clothing that will hide my unshaven legs is a winner for me

There’s no crying in fashion. *hands you Kleenex*

Don’t cry! I love maxis because they hide unshaven legs.

I’m totally kidding— I wear blazers all the time. I have one on now (am at work).

Also awesome for places where the temperature can drop suddenly in the evening. And very easily dressed up or down.

I guarantee you that you rock a maxi dress and look fantastic. I know even when you are headstrong to not let things like this upset you that it doesn’t always work. I was laughing but then I got up to go to the bathroom and make sure the maxi dress I’m wearing today doesn’t actually look hideous after I felt so good…

Hello, friend :)

“Listen, I know you have clothes that make you feel good, but I think they’re ugly and that’s why you’re wrong! Crying while buying something is definitely a good sign that you’ll love wearing it.” — every episode of What Not To Wear

Don’t cry. Just know that articles like this all boil down to bitterness. “There’s a trendy item of clothing that does not personally flatter me/is unattractive to me! I am going to insult it — and the taste of everyone who wears that item of clothing!”

GOOD JOB, JEZEBEL.

Don’t cry. This article’s fucked up.
