Hippie dresses and boho (bohemian) chic maxi dresses are perfect for women a bit on the heavy side that are looking for trendy clothes which are comfortable to wear. Even skinny women love to wear cute, casual, bohemian, peasant-style clothing.
Back in the day, the late 60s to be exact, hippies discouraged their friends from judging a person based upon his or her appearance. The true hippie mantra back then was, Its whats inside that counts. Although, in the real world, it was, and still is, difficult to actually do this. People make snap, superficial judgments, whether we like it or not.
