Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
- Maxi dress
- High heels
- Oversized jewelry
- Oversized handbag or clutch
Step1
Choose a maxi dress that's fitted around the waist if you have a larger frame. The typical maxi dress is billowy and sits like a tunic; pick a cut that is fitted and tighter around the waist for a pulled together look.
Step2
Wear both long and short maxi dresses with heels. Don't settle for kitten heels or ballet flats, as these can make you look frumpy. Add as much height to the legs as you can.
Step3
Choose an A-line cut to hide a larger stomach. This style is perfect for larger women and keeps the feminine look of the dress while flattering the figure.
Step4
Wear chunky jewelry and carry an oversized bag to maximize the look. Miniature jewelry or bags don't match well with the free-from style of the maxi, so complement the look with oversized accessories whenever possible.
Step5
Wear miniature prints and patterns if you have a small frame. This is the best match for a flowy maxi dress on petite and smaller frames.
Step6
Look for a bandeau style to balance out a larger figure. These are better than regular dress straps as they elongate the neckline and draw attention upward.
Step7
Wear a single-color dress to create a sleek and smooth look. Skip the patterns and bold prints of the maxi dress altogether with a bold color for spring. Top color choices include aqua, blue, purple, yellow and even bright red.
