Current La Mimi Obsession- Maxi Dress

Spring and Summer is all about dressing feminine and light. One of the easiest ways to do that is to put on a dress. It doesn’t take too much thought or effort to wear a maxi dress, as long as you pick the right one for your body shape, insuring it flatters and accentuates all your best features.
Remember to pay attention to the length, material, design and print.




Material- The material has to be flowy and not clingy.
Length- You don’t want it too long or too short, just long enough to almost hit the floor when you are bare feet. That way you can wear it with flats or a bit of platform.
Design- Halternecks are more flattering for those with larger bust. Spaghetti straps are better for those with smaller bust.
Print- choose prints in proportion to your height and weight. Prints that are striking and big on a small frame will look too strong and overpowering.
I already found two maxi dresses for this summer, one in a small print (I’m 5’5) and one in a nice bold turquoise color. Unfortunately, it’s too cold for me to wear them yet. I promise to show them in a post once it warms up.
