Maxi dresses
February 7th 2010 05:02
Another summer staple, which doesn't require shaved legs. I always like something that doesn't require effort.
Last year, I was looking for the perfect plain black maxi dress. This year, I was tossing up between a coral dress or a maxi with a frill front. You know, the spaghetti strapped (or strapless) with the frilly bit, and then straight down? Or both. I managed to sort of find both, but changed my mind. I'm regretting it now. The coral was at Target, the frilly was at Myer. I think I bypassed the Myer because I didn't think it would fit (lesson learned: always try stuff on), and I bypassed the coral because I'd already started planning my winter wardrobe and bought a sequinned blazer instead. Siiigh.
For those of you without regrets, what does your favourite maxi look like? Have you found one yet?
For those still looking in store, Autograph has a bunch on sale, Target as well. Big W still has a few, as does City Chic. My standouts are the ones at Myer, particularly in the Monroe and Estelle brands. I really feel these two brands get young, but not juvenile dressing right. I especially like that they have tank style maxis, along with the triangle and cross-over bust ones.
Some favourites online for me are:
Dream Diva Printed Boobtube Maxi Dress
My friend's sister owns this dress and it just looks absolutely stunning on her.
Black scoop neck maxi from Jen's Fashion Plus
Eshakti, in particular, the long beaded caftan dress in blue.
