Belt it.
Some Maxi dresses don't have a defined waist or the waist is cinched with elastic. This is the perfect opportunity to throw on a belt; instantly giving you a defined waist. It may take a few belts to find the one ... I'm partial to medium-size, woven belts that are popular this season. These belts are a classic, timeless piece that you won't have to worry about going out of style.

Part of why Maxi dresses are sooooo comfy is because they are long. I like to think of them as sanitary for this very reason. I love things that protect your thighs from germssss. Keep in mind, if you find a Maxi dress that you love, but it's very long on you, you have two options:
- Get 'er hemmed.
- Wear a tall, wedge sandal.
On the other end of the spectrum, are the tall girls that find most Maxi dresses not long enough. This could potentially create a stressful shopping day. Sales people are there to provide information about the clothes they are selling. They see people in the clothes thousands of times each day. They'll be able to tell you how the Maxi dresses run ... it's music to tall gals ears to hear They run on the long side. Since that means the length will be perrrrrfect for them.
Color.
Bright colors are all the rage this season but don't neglect the neutral in all the color fan fare. Plus, a good neutral dress allows you the opportunity to add your pop of color with accessories. Or not. Neutral's will always be in style. Outrageous colors will not. Note: the marigold dress is not technically a neutral, however, due to the cut, and the not neon color, this dress is timeless.
