Maxi Dresses

Maxi dresses were very popular with actresses of the yester years. Well, these have been in vogue once again, since the summer last year, and this time, it is going to stay for quite a while. Last summer, we have seen many celebrities sporting maxis and this year is not going to be different.

There are so many patterns and styles available in maxi dresses, that you can wear one every evening, without repeating the pattern.

It is a general belief that these dresses are for taller women. In a way, it is correct, because petite women will look smaller and stout in maxi dress. These flaws can be done away by paying attention to minute details about the stitch and the design of the dress.

Let us take a look at some tips that make these dresses look good on any one.

· For a tall, slender woman, this dress will simply add to the beauty by highlighting the tall and the slender features of the wearer.

· Big floral prints look good on tall women.

· If you are not too tall, then avoid a free flowing maxi covering the toes. There are chances that you might stumble upon the dress. Keep your dress to the ankle length. A cut will highlight your frame and make it appear slender. Wear high heeled wedge shoes with maxi to enhance your height.

· Go for smaller prints if you are petite.

· The fat on the thighs can be hidden by choosing a slightly loose fitting dress. Keep the portion above the waist fitted and allow slight frill on the lower part.

· Halter necks look good on broad shoulders. If you have bigger chest, avoid tight fitted on the top and go for lesser flare.

· Spaghetti strings look good on slender shoulders.

· If you are overall broad, then choose V cut dress. This will give you a balanced appearance.

· If you have bulky arms, avoid sleeveless or strapless dress, as it will draw the attention to your arms.

· The empire cut style is quite popular, but you should be able to carry it well.

· These are informal wear and should be worn to work place.

· For special occasions, wear a maxi made of silk.

· Cotton maxis look cool as evening wear.
