As light and relaxed as a billowy maxi is, when they border on the shapeless side like this one, they require a little extra thought before being worn.  If you’re fairly short and stuck in flats like me, a dress without a waistline isn’t the most favorable look.  Thankfully tent-like shape is much more flattering wrapped up with a belt to cinch the middle and add some shape.
