What is a maxi dress?

[HotI]

I got an e-mail from one of the women's fashion shops who are having a sale on maxi dresses. Looking at the pics, i can't tell what defines what a maxi dress is, and what one isn't. They look like all types of dresses.

any ideas? apparently they are all the rage..

They're basically sundresses that hit the ground...so the top part has spaghetti straps and is usually v-cut and then they hang down to your ankles or longer.

They were huge in the Northern summer last year but I think people caught on to the idea that they can get quite hot as they're usually lined as well so they weren't as big there during their past summer. If you Google them, you should be able to find a lot of examples.

HTH!!

I find maxi dresses a bit strange. The look so dressy but I see so many people wearing them to go shopping?!

I always wear them when going shopping. I wouldn't say they're dressy, to me they'e casual and comfortable. They hide my bum, thighs & belly, and show off my boobs. It's the ideal dress for my body shape LOL!

A maxi dress is ... something you can't wear if you're 5'1" like me as they're just TOO long!!!!!
