The Most Flattering Maxi Dresses For Curvy Figures

The Most Flattering Maxi Dresses For Curvy Figures

Midi dresses are definitely having a moment, but it's been a while since we've given the classic maxi some love. Not only is the summery silhouette incredibly versatile, but it also looks amazing on all body types—we're talking tall, short, curvy, straight, and everything in between. Whether you prefer something feminine and floral-printed or classic and black, the longer length is a go-to option when you're not in the mood to outfit plan (or can't be bothered to shave your legs). To celebrate this hardworking piece, we've rounded up the best maxis on the market—all of which were specifically designed with curvy gals in mind. From waist-cinching styles fit for summer weddings to breezy numbers you can rock at the beach and beyond, the maxi dresses that follow are guaranteed to get you through your worst wardrobe ruts this season.
