I'm under 5 feet and not particularly curvaceous, so the odds are not good for finding one that isn't overwhelming. However, I do have one that makes me look all curvy and borderline elegant.

Tori Rochard, designed on Oahu, I believe has a good selection of maxi dresses and Cinnamon Girl also had good selection of maxis though not sure about recently. My cousins on Oahu wear maxis occasionally and I live outside of Portland where I don't see maxis as often as in LA.

I'm surprised that you do not see them in Hawaii, considering how hot it is there.

Sure, I think they are cute. I don't really wear them though, I don't know why.

I love maxi dresses. Comfortable, attractive (to me anyway), and I don't need to worry about body hair!

I feel like i wear them because its a dress that doesnt make me look like an old lady or a 12yr old. I do hate that some of them are low cut but i add a tank under.

Not so much!
How can women bear to dress a long dress in this heat?
It also depends on the shape of the body in it.
Some look like an "autobus' stuck in it.

(omg, will this give me an infraction?.....:-(.....)

So, for me, not so much.

No, my hunch is, according to how he phrased it, that he does not like them.
The...."not so much".... is encouraging to say NO. Why else would he have added this?
