The Maxi dress is an item of clothing that women love, especially during summer.

The Maxi Dress

A maxi dress is a dress that reaches down to your ankles or the floor. It is usually an informal dress, but some formal options are available today.

Typically, the maxi dress will have a form-fit top with a looser and more flowing bottom or skirt, as we will call it from here on.

Most maxi dresses generally consist of light cotton and rayon fabrics that are lightweight and breathable so that you can wear them in very hot summer weather.

Finally, the maxi dress is available in many colors and lovely prints and has different sleeve lengths.

The Maxi dress first became popular in the 1960s and was designed by the high fashion designer Oscar De La Renta. The dress remained popular through the 70s and 80s, and during this time, the dress became more versatile and had more options.

The Maxi dress is ideal if you are a little more conservative or for occasions and work purposes where short and mini dresses may be uncomfortable or inappropriate.

The maxi dress looks great on most figure types and is something that you can easily find in many styles and designs.

The maxi dress I find is also ideal for wearing when you have forgotten to shave your legs or when you need a bit of coverage.

A maxi dress can look stunning in cooler weather and provides better coverage, as you can wear it with a cardigan or light jacket.
