How to Wear A Maxi Dress

Maxi dresses are doing so well in the market but it can be difficult to put out these trendy dresses. It is one the fashion dress craze right now that can be found in every boutique, from thrifty stores to boutiques, from low end to upscale style designers like Gypsy 05. Some body conscious women may think a maxi dress is a good way to conceal their shape and hide unsightly thunder thighs, but in truth it can look like a mumu with the wrong print or cut. I always love a good maxi dress. These dresses are light, airy, free, boheiam and in style, but most of all they're just plain comfy. They're also the best cover up for fashionable mommies to be. The great thing about a maxi dress is that it's meant to be casual and worn out and about with leather flats or cork heels, but it can be dressed up for evening wear as well. If you've got the courage and style to carry a maxi dress, now is the time to go for it! The few things to look for when shopping for a maxi: 1) Cut is key! For all those busty gals out there, pay attention not just to the cups but to the waist. It's not uncommon for a girl who's bigger on top to have the seam of an empire top or dress ride up too high, and that can especially happen when you're wearing a maxi dress. Since most long maxi dresses are long baby doll dresses, most have a high waist line. See to it that the waist is still intact even if it has an empire style or with a belt. Be weary of the cup sizes as well, of course, because you don't want the girls spilling out everywhere! Don't over trim a too-long hemline, it will only look odd. It IS a maxi dress after all! 2) Be weary of prints. Avoid busy prints on your maxi dress, you know the type that can make someone else nauseas or go blind because of neon colors. Prints in general, especially large figures, tend to make people look bigger, so a wide skirt plus a large print is a huge no-no! A more subtle print in soft pastel colors can be very pretty, but when in doubt, stick to a solid colored maxi dress, which is still just as chic.3) Go crazy with accessories! Solid colored maxi dress are the simplest article of clothing to to accessorize. Maxi dresses can also be paired with long necklaces, especially the hot statement necklaces of the moment; long pendants look great with long dresses as well. Scarves are a great pairing for a maxi dress as well, and attention grabbing handbags. When in doubts whether to wear those trendy sandals, try it on with maxi dress to be even a bit trendier.Try an inexpensive solid colored maxi dress if you're having second thoughts of wearing one. You can wear it as a cover up to your beach or pool swim wear that can give a trial wearing. If you've decided that this longer style of a dress is not your desire then cut it just above knee level and redesigned it to a short, sassy and sunny mini dress. Just try it and enjoy the outcome.
