Maxi Dresses for All Body TypesWe all adore the Maxi-Dress. It made its debut a few years ago (re-emerging from the 70’s bohemian movement) and has kept going strong each Spring and Summer season.

Most women are “afraid” to wear a Maxi. When I first discovered them, I was thinking I was too “large”, “short” , “busty” or not Skinny enough. Well let me let you in on something ladies: Anyone can wear a Maxi-Dress. Finding the Right one is the hard part.

Not to worry, I am here to help. Here are a few hand-picked Maxi’s that I am sure you will like and will fit all different body types and style preferences. Best of all , they are all under $100. Go Crazy my dears!!


Fat Face navy maxi dress
£45 – johnlewis.com
For The Busty! – The V-Neck Reduces the heavier bust while creating the proper proportions  for the waist size by flowing “straight down” and showcases the “girls” in a beautiful way.
Chan Luu long dress$99 – calypsostbarth.com
For the Tall and Thin – Strapless is always good for you. The cinched top will create the illusion of a larger but appropriate bust and the slit and the bottom will “peep” your beautiful legs.
Chiffon dress£48 – inlovewithfashion.com
For the those who desire the extra height– Great low “scoop” neckline (good for any size bust) and an asymmetrical bottom that will showcase your legs, elongating them without having to wear heels. Beautiful! If you are going for a statement piece that is girly, this is right Maxi for you!

Dorothy Perkins evening maxi dress$57 – dorothyperkins.com

The Vintage Girl – You probably had no idea there existed a Maxi dress for the Vintage crazed. This is it. Gorgeous deep teal with a white collar, buttons, and tinny tiny pleats. How could you go wrong! For ALL Shapes.

Oasis sleeveless dress
$95 – oasis-stores.com
For the “apple bottom” – Love your curves ladies. This is the Maxi for you. We have a neckline that is cinched toward the top to draw in your bust and accentuate it along with the high neckline and button closure. The waist is drawn in to showcase your beautiful curves on the bottom while not looking disproportionate because of the balance of the perfectly tailored top.

Joe brown
$80 – simplybe.com
For the “Marilyn” shaped woman– Beauty has been distorted. One of the most beautiful women in all of history was Marilyn Monroe, and her best look was her size 14-16. This dress comes in sizes you wont find in unrealistic stores. While not an ankle Maxi, this is right below the knee to show off some leg. The top is a “scoop” neck and sleeveless to show some arm and some collar-bone. All the wonderful assets that help us “Marilyn” women look great! The dress is T-Shirt Material but not the clingy-jersey type. The Pattern will help to direct attention away from any midsection “dislikes” , and the dress will flow so nicely with a pair of open toed flats, or even a pair of wonderful ankle strap wedges. Wear it with confidence!!
