Popular patterns in Maxi Dress:

Empire waist: Empire waist is considered as the ‘in’ thing in maxi. This is because empire waist line will fit at the most slender part of your body and then flow downwards. Thus, this waist line will make you appear slimmer than you actually are.

Strapless: If you browse the popular dresses on the internet, you will see that almost all the dresses are strapless. The advantage of a strapless dress is that these dresses highlight your face and shoulders. Thus, problematic areas such as back, thighs, and stomach can go unnoticed. Moreover, if you have antique jewelry, you can wear it with this dress and grab all the attention.

Floral prints: If you are tall, choose big floral prints in your dress. Whereas, if you are petite, choose smaller prints. Block prints too look good on tall women.

Length of the dress: Though these are full length dress and you can have them in floor sweeping length, if you are petite, then, choose an ankle reaching length for your dress. Likewise, if you are expected to dance wearing this dress, then you should consider wearing ankle length long maxi dress.
