Some ladies might think that floor length dresses which are also known as maxi dresses are only meant for special occasions such as wedding or beach vacations. However, today I am going to change your mind as nowadays you can actually strut yourself in a maxi dress, anytime and anywhere you like. Since now is officially the Summer time, I could not think of a more perfect timing to show you this season on-trend maxi dresses. Not only you could wear it for your Mediterranean stay-cation, friend's wedding, you could also wear it to a brunch date and office. To be honest, what is more perfect than wearing a flowy maxi dress for the scorching hot weather? Plus point, you don't need to show your abs or toned figure to wear this summer staple.
Many ladies think that maxi dresses are only considered to be ideal for tall and slim women, which make many ladies with other body types afraid of trying out these enticing dresses. However, the truth is that there is a maxi dress design for almost every kind of body. These includes petite women, busty women, pear-shaped women, curvy women and boyish frames. If you take the necessary time, you will find a flattering maxi dress perfect for your body. But, today I would save your time by giving you all the information you needed in choosing the perfect maxi dress for your figure.
1. If you have a large bust
Obviously, having large boobs can be awesome for certain things and not so great for others, namely for looking chic in certain clothes. Sometimes, large bosoms can actually make you look larger than you actually are (sorry, no offense but there is no way to say this delicately). The key is to find things that don't accentuate but complement your assets.
- Step away from spaghetti straps and plunge v neckline, and opt for slight v-necks (AGAIN, not plunging), boat neck, off-shoulder, high neck or even flouncy button downs. Over exposure never looks good and you don't want to expose your cleavage in such a way that people feel inclined to swipe their credit card in there (if you know what I mean). And of course, if you're into that sort of thing, there would be nothing wrong with that.
- Opt for a wrap style or drawstring waist to define your waistline. Without this cinched-in silhouette, you may look bigger than you actually are.
- Keep it simply by avoiding ruffles and pleats, which can add fullness to existing curves.
Styles to Try:
Not only it gives your the coverage, the halter cut is going to flatter your arms. Not to mention, the floral print is good in diverting attentions from your big boobs.
Showing off your sexy collarbone, it draws attentions to your shoulder. With its figre hugging silhoutte, you still get to flaunt your bosoms in a modest manner. Not to mention, the fitted waist also gives you a well-defined waistline.
2. If you have a small bust
If your boobs are on the smaller side, you can make the most of what you've got, as so many styles work perfectly for you.
- Try silhouettes with deep-diving necklines and open backs.
- If you want to add volume to your bust, look for a maxi that features molded cups, ruched or ruffled details.
Styles to Try:
If your boobs are on the smaller side, you are going to look super chic and sexy in plunging neckline. We're loving the palm print that adds that summery vibes. Not to mention, the drawstring belt also adds a well-defined waistline.
With the off-shoulder neckline, it draws attentions to your sexy shoulder instead of your smaller bust. We're loving the ruffled detailing around the bust, creating an illusion of you having a bigger bust.
3. If you are curvy
There are numerous types of maxi dresses designed to draw attentions to one's curves. Make sure you choose the right maxi dress designed for a curvy woman.
- Look for a dress that skims (not clings) to your figure. For instance, an empire waist silhouette is ideal.
- Go for thicker straps or strapless as spaghetti straps can dig into your shoulders.
- Seek out bold prints. Large scale florals are a lot more flattering than tiny floral motifs.
Styles to Try:
We are loving the stripes that only running across the bodice instead of the entire dress. Giving that illusion of you having well proportioned figure. Not to mention, the crew neck and sleeveless cut also gives you the coverage you needed while still showing some skin. The elasticised waist also gives you a well-defined waistline, highlighting your forte, perfect hour glass figure.
4. If you are petite and curvy
Petite women tend to avoid maxi dresses as much as possible since maxi dresses are usually long. But this should not stop anyone from wearing a maxi dress.
- Wear a belt on your waist to give yourself a well-defined waistline ans also elongate your bottom half.
- Choose maxi dresses with an A-line or empire waist for a flattering look.
- Try vertical prints and stripes to move the eye downward.
- Wear heels to create that leg-lengthening drama.
Styles to Try:
With the strappy empire waist, not only you get to cinch your waist and create an illusion of tiny waist. It also helps to elongate your legs since it sits high on your waist. The slit is also a great addition in showing off your legs, which prevents you from draining in the maxi dress.
5. If you are petite and slender
As I mentioned above, petite women should not avoid wearing a maxi dress. Trust me, when you choose the right fit, it can make you look taller as well.
- Seek out a figure-hugging silhouette or maxi dress with a simple waist detail to accentuate your barely-there curves.
- The more skin you show, the better. Spaghetti straps or a square neckline will show the most skin and create the illusion of a longer frame.
- High low maxi skirt is another great option in preventing yourself from draining in the fabric.
Styles to Try:
This maxi dress basically fulfilled all the criteria I have mentioned above. Ranging from cutout waist and plunge v spaghetti straps neckline, that show off your skin. We are loving the high low maxi cut that is perfect for petite ladies.
Another way to look tall without high low cut is when you opt one with slit. The slit will draws attentions to your legs, creating an illusion of you having long lean legs. We are loving the sexy plunge v neckline of this dress as it also helps in diverting attentions from your petite figure.
6. If you have boyish / athletic frame
If your have boyish or athletic frame, you can make the most of what you've got just like those runway models, as almost every style work perfectly on you. If you want to create those curves, it is easier then you think!
- Opt for high necked tops. These tops give an appearance of having a fuller bust.
- Tasteful front pleats or frills also boost your curves and gives your upper body a soft feminine look. Fuller sleeves and flowy fabrics also look flattering on you.
- Opt for maxi dress which features a narrow skirt which hugs your figure and make a boyish frame woman look alluring.
Styles to Try:
When you opt for a long sleeve and round neck with ribbon accent, it conceal your figure. And with the polka dots sprinkled all over it, they give off a feminine accent. Not to mention, the elasticized waist instantly gives you a well-defined waistline and creates an illusion of you having bust.

That's all for today's topic. I hope by now you would know you could basically wear maxi dress for any and every occasion. Not to mention, I bet you also know that regardless of your figure, you CAN wear maxi and look flattering in it.
