Beat The Summer Time Blues With a Maxi Dress

April 23, 2015 By Sam Sly 5 Comments

maxidress

A maxi dress is a classic but easy-going style. I admire the effortless elegance of a casual maxi dress. Unfortunately, as a shorter person it can be a difficult look to pull off.

Disclosure: I was excited to have the opportunity to review this Stanzino Short Sleeved Maxi Dress. I purchased this dress at a discount in exchange for a review.

The dress is available from Amazon. It comes in 6 colors (red, black, navy blue, olive, gray, and brown) and sizes ranging from Small to 4X! I love the choice of colors and the extended size range.

The above illustration features items I curated into a Polyvore collection. To see details for the shoes, hat, camisole, necklace and bracelet visit my Polyvore collection at the bottom of this post!

 

My Experience Wearing This Stanzino Maxi Dress:

It is one thing for a dress to look great on a model. What about the rest of us? Well, I am certainly no model. Below are some images of the dress on me (with minimal styling) and a very short Instagram video showing it in action.

Here is a silly little video I made to illustrate a clothing review I plan to post later today. #bloggersperks #instastyle #outfitoftheday #navyblue #blue #maxidress #review

The Pros for the Stanzino Maxi  Dress:

  • I believe the cut is flattering to a variety of body types. I think it would look nice on a long and lean figure or one with more thickness and curves.
  • The fabric is light and easy-care and doesn’t wrinkle easily. The fabric flows well and is comfortable.
  • The tag says the dress is made in the USA
  • I feel the sizes were true to the measurement chart posted on Amazon (be sure and check!)
  • I like the choices of colors and range of sizes.

The Cons for the Stanzino Maxi Dress:

  • As I mention in the video this dress is very long (that could be a pro for some of you!) When I wear it, at least 5 inches drag on the ground. I am only 5′ 1″, but I think it will be too long for most people 5′ 4″ and shorter.
  • The fabric is thin and is sheer when stretched out. I was between two sizes on the size chart so I ordered the larger size and it isn’t too sheer on me. However when I stretch the material I could see that it would be very see-through if it is sized to a snug fit. I imagine the material makes a difference too, I chose a darker color (Navy Blue) and suspect the lighter colors may have this issue even more.
  • The V-neck is very deep (though this can also be a pro for some).

I am also a new affiliate for Joseph  Nogucci, I recently discovered them (another post!). I felt their necklace and bracelets fit the easy-going, Summer elegance of the maxi dress so I featured them in the Polyvore collection.
