Which maxi dress to choose if you are petite?

How to accessorize a flowy maxi dress?
During the day: wicker basket, flat sandals, straw hat. In the evening: gold clutch, heeled sandals, delicate jewelry. The rule: let the dress speak for itself and keep accessories discreet if the design is already printed or elaborate.

Yes, provided you choose a simple style (solid color, clean cut) and pair it with a structured blazer. Avoid overly sheer or low-cut styles for a professional setting.
