How to wear Maxi Dress

I have always been fascinated with Maxi Dress and wearing one was just a castle in the sky for me.  I thought that maxi dresses are only designed for women who are blessed with height and curves, until I’ve read some tips from various sites on who can wear and how to wear them.

Maxi dresses for petite women

·                     A maxi dress can make you look shorter and even wider when not being able to choose the best cut for your body type. Look for a maxi dress that has a full length that hugs well on your body. 

·                     You can do away with structured maxi dress that has a well defined waist (empire waist). You can also use a belt and wrap it around the thinnest part of your waist. 

·                     Elongate your body with a v neck maxi dress.

·                     Wear pumps, wedges, or high heeled sandals. 

·                     Maxi dresses with black, olive green, deep purple, and dark brown works best. Light colors are okay but as long as it is a solid color that still draws a straight line to your body. 

·                     Avoid horizontal and large patterns. 

·                     Cuts that are suitable for your body: straight, A line, and bias cut.

Maxi dresses for plus size women

Long dresses works well with this frame because it minimizes large legs and waist. 

·                     For women who have wide or big busts, look for a maxi dress that has a thick strap or even a halter type dress. Take note that spaghetti straps makes your upper body larger because of the contrasting proportions. 

·                     Medium to large prints are good for your body type, but solid colors such as black, olive green, dark brown can help you slim down.

·                     Look for dress that has a v neck. This will help you create a vertical line. 

·                     Maxi dresses with loose-type designs can make you even bigger. Choose a dress that fits closely to your body but not to clingy to help skim your curves. 

Maxi dresses go well with flat sandals or high heeled sandals.
