It falls just above my shoe (a flat sandal) which is exactly where I like it...I hate the idea of a dirty hem! (It's a dress, not a broom!) I purchased it off an end of summer sale rack about 5 years ago, before they became really popular. It was the print that attracted me to it, sort of like art deco feathers...
The black, white, red and tan palate just happens to be a favorite color combo of mine and goes with so many things I already own. So far this spring I've layered blouses over it, making it look more like a skirt, and layered the dress over tees, which is perfect in overly air conditioned situations. But this time I tried a tissue thin cardi with a belt...
and I must admit, this maybe my favorite look so far. It dresses it up quite nicely. Adding the skinny belt was sort of an experiment that worked out to my advantage. The dress itself has more of an empire waistline that I wouldn't normally cinch in, but with the cardi, it felt like it just needed something.Anyway, who knew a maxi dress could be so versatile? If I get to take a vacation this summer, I know exactly which piece of clothing will be the first in the suitcase!

That dress is awesome!! I have one maxi dress as well- got it for about $7 at Target a couple of years ago. I love th print but it's a couple of sizes too big so I have to wear a tank top under it. Three cheers for awesome maxi dresses!!
A gal can never have too many maxis IMO. Love yours!
beautiful print!

You look lovely in that maxi. You should wear these kind of dresses more often :).
Amazing maxi and I love how the print shows through your cardigan.
I totally want to rock this look but I feel that I am too short for a long cardigan + maxi dress combo. Haha.
