Let's be honest, ladies, we love wearing the maxi Dress, It covers everything and you can embrace fashion without shaving your legs.

Looking as though you are wearing the tent from your neighbours garden. So you need to consider how to wear the Maxi Dress for the desired elegant effect.

A great question I hear being asked is "What underwear should I wear with a maxi?".
If your bra straps are going to be on show, make sure they're clean and pretty.
Choose a nude colour or preferably a strapless (good fitting) bra.
I have a long black maxi, the one in the first picture, so it Skims my tummy and hips so I always wear my genie bra. However there are lots of options available from multiway bras to the adorable Red Carpet look Diamante Backless Bra.

How to Wear the Maxi Dress
Top Tips to get the most out of your Maxi Dress Style
If you've got adjustable straps on the dress, make sure they're as tight as is comfortable , or put in a stitch or two
Give your body some shape by opting for a style that gives you a defined waist.
Alternatively, use a belt to cinch things in or add a jacket to give you a more defined silhouette.
Finally, team with flats or wedged boots
I love the fact it is so versatile. You can feel a million dollars with very little cash.
Maxi Dresses are easily affordable and from every color in the rainbow, theres one for everyone, no matter shape or size. Right on fashion just now, block colors, animal print and floral will keep you looking right up to trend this season
What kind of Jacket to wear with my maxi Dress
Again this is so easy, if it is a casual day out, try a lovely cropped denim jacket, for a wedding I love wearing a soft shawl, and even in the colder months I love throwing on my Leather Aviator Jacket, keep away from longer length jackets, (from thigh to under knees) this look will actually shorten you. I saw someone with a beautiful maxi dress on a a Mac both on their own was stunning but together, was very mix matched in fact making the overall effect of 2 very expensive garments, very cheap, although I do have a floor length coat that I wore in wintertime over my Maxi for warmth to a wedding, and the look was very stunning
This is so cute, I ordered it and received it the NEXT working day! With FREE delivery, so be sure to check out recent deals
What type of shoes should I wear with my Maxi
Good News is, with a long dress you can get away with flats, , boots,gladiator sandals, flip flop but this seasons footwear is all about the wedged heel these are really hot just now since Kate Middleton wore them on the day before she was to be married! so I would grab a pair anyway, hers were £350....around $700 dollars!
or keep it simple with a pretty pair of ballet pumps or sandals.

Leave your Tips for wearing the Maxi Dress
I love the classic Maxi dresses that make you look like a Greek goddess! :-)
I lived in them the first time round in the seventies Lisa. Then they had heavy mediaeval or gypsy influences, and I loved wafting around in them. That was before I became a gardener and changed to jeans and DMs. They do look tempting again!

@DecoratingMom411: I am not so sure, my fried is 5ft 2 and she is stunning in her maxi dress and looks much taller :)
Maxi dresses are gorgeous and looks good for everybody but there are two things you must consider before buying this dress- your height and body.

Great lens! Who doesn't love a good maxi dress?
From Topshop to Temperley, the Maxi Dress is once again set to be the summer's fashion staple. Lightweight, flowing and floor length, it is a dress style that will stand out in a crowd and leave you feeling beautiful.
Maxi dresses look elegant. Lovely lens.
Excellent lens on the Maxi Dress. I can remember when they first appeared (telling my age lol). My daughter has several and wears them all the time.

Fabulous looking maxi dresses.

Lovely dresses. I used to wear these back in the 60. My daughter in law wears them all the time. Might buy one for 2012!
I love Maxi Dresses... Long and lean. I wish my hubby would take me somewhere so I could wear one.
Nice work.
I LOVE a beautiful Maxi Dress...I would wear one every single day!
Great fashion and confidence hints.

The Maxi Dress is elegant and beautiful. Plus it hides a multitude of sins. :) Blessed
I'm 5'0", but love Maxi Dresses! Boho style
My first sprinkling of angel dust on this lens has long worn off so I am back once again to scatter a little more. It is my quest today to bless all the lenses which I blessed in October of 2010. You are on this list.
A blast from the past for me! I loved wearing Maxi Dresses in the 70's! You brought up a nice collection of memories with this lens! :) Kath
I love maxi dresses and want to get some more, especially for spring and summer-but I agree they can be worn for many occasions as well.
You've done a beautiful job showcasing these maxi dresses. Lovely!
Returning with fresh angel dust to sprinkle over your gorgeous maxi dresses...
Luv This Lens.
I love wearing maxi so much...
I don't think I would look good in it, but my wife might.
great lens. in the 1970s our maxi dressed were not so long. they came down about halfway between our knees and ankles.
@alanwearing: yes, I think so.
good lens
I love the versatility of the maxi dress. I have them for formal and informal occasions.
Great Lens...Very informative
cool lens.. great stuff
Beautiful dresses, they look comfortable too.
The halter neck one is my choice. Great lens Lisa. Blessed~
I have two maxi dresses given by my aunt wrking as a nurse in the USA.
Maxi dressed were popular when I was a teen, now they're ba-ack. Cool.
I love maxi dresses, and wear them all the time, with boots, or with flats, depending on the season. Lovely page! Love the pattern sources you included! I love to sew too.
I hope this doesn't discourage any potential wearers, but these are great for as "maternity" dresses too.
I love the Maxi Boho Black Summer Halter Celeb Beach Party Dress. It could be dressed up or dressed down, kind of like "the little black dress".
I've been wearing these since high school! So comfortable.
Beautiful. Nice wide variety.
HOT!! Love the dresses!
Beautiful and useful.
I love these dresses - but with the belly I have, I always look pregnant. I carry all my weight in the front ... and these do not look flattering on me ... but I would love them if I could wear them ...
Lovely choice of maxi dresses you featured here. Love them!
It's a good idea to sew my own, since the ones for sale in stores are all way too long. Nice lens.
I'm loving the maxi dress!
Thank goodness they're back! Blessed by a Squid Angel ;)
I like that you wrote personal comments about the dresses! Therefore blessings =)
<3 these. Hard.
great lens
My daughter is a big fan of maxi dresses. She was glad to see that they can be fashionable.
I absolutely love maxi dresses! They are surely a perfect fit and with so many variety, it is impossible to miss. Great lens.
these are SUPER cute!!
These look great...I love loose fitting dresses and didn't know long dresses like this were in fashion, I'm not very fashion conscious. I would probably look okay in one, but am 5'3" and somewhat big in the hips...whether there's weight on them or not (right now there is a bit:-) so your tips have been helpful.
I didn't know what these were called. I just thought they were sundresses. Actually, they look like nightgowns to me. I'm too modest for this style. At home or on the beach, they are great. But to be worn in public, they show far too much skin for my tastes.
A great directory to find the perfect Maxi dress.
Great lens! I've been trying to find the perfect Maxi dress!!
Very nice variety of dresses. I love love love the black party dress!
My tip: wear it with style:) Thanks for another cool lens!
nice lens.....i like it!!!
Just shared it on Twitter :) Love your collection!
I'm sharing this with everyone. Love it!
Love this! What a great selection you've put together! That very first one was stunning!
I love this style dress, I have several - even ones that are 'no iron.' They are slenderizing and cool, plus you don't have to show your knees (mine are pretty banged up from sports). Especially elegant in the evening is just the addition of a shawl. Gorgeous. (Nice selection too).
I love the Maxi dress and skirts too. It is a wonderful fashion piece. I have several. Great job Lisa.!
The maxi dresses look comfortable and cool!
Love the elegant look of maxi dresses! ...A tip? The most important one I have is: use great posture. :)
I indulged in a couple of maxi dresses this year and I love them, they are so versatile, feel great and look good on most people. Finding the right one is the key to it and this page helps loads, i love the first one on here, very me! :)
So long dresses are back in style and they are calling them "maxi" again ... so why hasn't Disco come back along with hard wood floors in roller rinks? LOL I'm wearing a maxi dress as I type this ... although I was calling it a floor length sun dress, I'm so out of the loop. I love these easy, breezy, comfortable clothes for summer, and this lens showcases them very nicely. Good job! [hey, why is my captcha "squidtwit"? LOL]
I love maxi dresses
Styles and designs are beautiful, Thanks for this lens
Very classy and romantic!
These are wonderful, and I am so glad they are back in style.
Very pretty dresses! I prefer the halter tops for myself....when I wear a dress like that (which isn't all that often, unfortunately)l
These are really lovely.
Beautiful dresses, but I must have pockets!
A great insight to the recent fashion.
Many thanks for the nice lens!!
I had no idea what a Maxi dress was but kept hearing my wife mention it. This lens explained everything so thanks.
thanks for this, I wanted one but they are all sold out, glad I found this page
These are so pretty! I need to get myself one of these dresses.
I remember when styles went from mini to maxi. Frankly, it was a relief to have that extra length. I love maxi dresses!
Wow, dresses #2 & @4 are gorgeous!
Beautiful lens Lisa. Great job! I liked it for you :)
Feel free to visit my Alice + Olivia squidoo dresses lens.
Thanks
Lovely and blessed by a squid angel. Have a great day :)
I was the first in my high school to wear one, back in the sixties. A schoolmate got up in front of our class and declared I was a Communist! ;)
