The maxi (full length) dress has grown in popularity over the past couple of years and has now become a staple in most women’s wardrobes. The maxi dress can be cool and casual or smart and sophisticated. There is a wide range available on the high street today so you will easily find a style that suits you. There is a common misconception that you must have a tall, leggy and slim figure to be able to carry off a maxi dress. This is simply not true. As long as you choose a cut that flatters your shape then anyone can look great in a maxi. Here are some tips to help you choose the right style for you. Petite For those who are petite, a maxi dress will look great on you if it skims the floor. Don’t shorten the appearance of your legs by choosing a style that finishes at your calves and try not to choose a design that will swamp your figure. Too much material or extremely bold prints will hide your frame. Instead, look for a solid colour or vertical stripes to elongate your figure. An empire line is also great for making your legs look longer! Tall Those who are tall will have little trouble finding a maxi dress that suits them. However, you should steer clear dresses that have too much material and could make you appear bigger than you are. Look for dresses that flatter your figure and create a sleek silhouette. Curvy If you have a curvy figure then avoid maxi dresses that have small or bold prints that can make you look larger. A loose fitting maxi dress will also make you look bigger than you really are. Try to find a dress in a solid colour that hugs your curves but is not too clingy. Once you have found the perfect dress you will need to think about your shoes and accessories. If you have a tall figure then flat strappy sandals are a great choice. Average height to petite women may want to wear heels for a bit of height. Unless you are going to a party or other special event, wedges are a more casual option and they look great with a maxi dress. Choose one or two chunky pieces of jewellery for your accessories. Too much jewellery can look busy, especially if you have a patterned dress as well. Keep the bag casual too. It does not necessarily have to match your shoes or dress perfectly. For a more dressed-up look, choose a smart leather handbag. If you are looking to find maxi dresses for your shape there are numerous stores that sell women's clothing online. Internet shopping will save you time and offer you a wider selection to choose from.
