Fully understanding the maxi dress concept...

If there's any garment that universally fits the female silhouette - big or small - is the maxi dress... Whether you're short, tall, skinny or fat, you can always look fab in a maxi. The key pointer here being the ability to rock it so it specifically suits your body type. Ever heard the phrase; "it's not what you do, it's how you do it"? Well same applies to this scenario here... Women need to understand the fact that anyone can look attractive and fashionably-informed in maxi dresses simultaneously, therefore your height and weight does not matter at all. The only contributing factor that might affect your overall look though, is how you wear it and the varieties you choose from.

Most maxi dress designs have prints and patterns on them (flowers, birds, bubbles, etc. - girly stuff) for a more chilled out and casual look. Perfect for the "girl next door" feel. A general consensus every lady should keep in mind is that the maxi dress is always - and will always be - on trend... Maxi's come in a wide variety and appropriate maxi's that suit all shapes, sizes and ages, do exist.

With regard to our current season (Spring/Summer), the following pointers suggest exactly how one can chic up their look and rock this multi-seasonal garment, and still look awesome. Go for an ankle-length during the day. Most ladies tend to think of long dresses as a night look, so there’s something unexpected about wearing a bright, patterned, long frock while the sun shines... Since there's lots of fabric to work with, the suggestion here would be selecting a smaller print. The bigger and bolder ones should be rather reserved for mini skirts. If bra straps are going to show, always make sure they're pretty... Opt for a style that gives you a defined waistline, and character! Use a belt to tuck things in or add a jacket to give you a more defined silhouette. Complete the look with any flat shoes or wedges...

Hotties like Eva Longoria (above), Kirsten Dunst and Halle Berry biblically follow these steps - staying on point and executing one the most by far easiest looks to pull off. With that said ladies, there is no reason why the maxi should not supposedly be rocked, and most importantly why disastrous fashion-flops should be schooled...
