I fly often but I have always worn slack/shorter dresses through security, never looser garments. I've heard a couple of differing stories on maxi dresses (for those who may not be familiar, they're dresses that reach to your ankles--a lot cuter than they sound). Some girls have been pulled to the side and some have been fine walking through the scanner. I normally go through the expert lane at my airport, but I'm hesitant to do so if I'm going to be pulled to the side. I hate slowing people up.
I'd love any input! The dress itself is fairly fitted, but I'm wondering if the length will pose extra security scrutiny.
In the
Skirts For Sightseeing thread there is a lot of back and forth commentary on wearing skirts or dresses through security. It's not been too much of a concern for me but I seem to be in the minority in that category as others are having issues. It is definitely a consideration on how you dress when going through security.
