I saw that on their commercial the other day. Clever, to give the maxi a new name, thus making it "new".

wasn't the new name "patio dress" last summer?

You beat me to it Beth! I was going to post about this, too! They really are trying hard to give the Maxi a new life, aren't they??

Love your "town gown" Marty! I might post one of mine later.

Those look like nightgowns! And $25? I can't get excited about selling my maxi nightgowns for that....wish I could!

I feel as if I have been waiting ten years for the "maxi" to catch on again. I certainly have a closet full of potential winners whispering "... make me into a mini and sell me for big $$$"
