My version of the Maxi

After seeing Mimi’s version of a maxi with with a front slit, I thought I’d give it a try.  It looks so comfy and easy to wear.
I had used this fabric to make a strapless dress in its previous incarnation.
 
I never wore the dress, since I just wasn't comfortable with it.  It had elastic above the bust and at the waistline, and I always had this nightmare of me stepping on the hem and it sliding down.  So I decided to reconstruct it. 

After taking the strapless maxi apart; I took McCall 6752 and altered it to come up with my own maxi. View D has a similar styling above the waist.

      
I changed the skirt portion.  I wanted a little more fullness at the bottom, so I cut the bottom half 3 sizes larger than the size I needed and tapered it to the appropriate waist size.  Of course I had to add extra length to get it to the floor length that I wanted.

I had a black leather belt that I chose to use with the dress, and a pair of gladiator sandals.  Here is my front slit maxi dress:
