Maxi and Midi Dresses for All Body Types

As fashion trends continue to stick around, so do both the maxi and midi length dresses. Offering coverage without hugging your frame, both provide a new look to your existing wardrobe. For plus-sized women, they perfectly highlight your natural curves. 

Maxi and midi dresses elongate the body in ways a shorter dress cannot. Instead of breaking up your body at the knee, maxi and midi dresses continue down the rest of your legs for a sleek look. They add bonus style as a change-up from the traditional mini dress that found favor for so many years. Midi dresses show off a little more ankle for those who don't want the full-length maxi dress. For curvy women, this is a great way to give the illusion of a longer torso with a single item of clothing.

Perfectly Priscilla carries both lengths to fit your personal preferences. Whether you want the hem to hit at your ankle or at your calf, we have both options in tons of colors and patterns for all body types. 

How to Style a Maxi or Midi Dress 

Have you ever opened your closet and wondered what to wear? Even if you have the impeccable style sense to create adorable outfits, it's easy to become bored with your options after a few wears. Enter the midi or maxi dress! With these beautiful and versatile dresses, you'll never be short on ways to integrate them into your outfits. Whether it's a day at the office, a luncheon with the girls or just running errands around town, women's boutique midi and maxi dresses are perfect for just about any occasion. 

Take a look at these ideas for how to style your plus-size midi or maxi dress: 

• Add outerwear. Jackets can be both practical and cute — and they pair perfectly with a dress! Depending on the dress, you can add a motorcycle jacket for a little edge or a jean jacket to make a dress more casual. Even a bomber jacket, cardigan or kimono can take the outfit to the next level. Play around with what is already in your closet or take a look at the options we have available on our website. 
• Layer it up. Just because it's a dress doesn't mean you can't treat your maxi or midi as a skirt. In doing this, you can make your dress even more versatile. Throw a cropped sweater or blouse over the top to break up the look. If cropped clothing isn't your thing, any top can elevate a dress. Adding a separate top can naturally highlight your waist if your dress is a bit flowier, and it can also take a sleeveless dress into the winter months by adding warmth. 
• Belt it. Maxi and midi dresses do not always have a defined waist to them, so define yours with a belt. Not only will the belt add style, but it will draw the eye to your waist. For plus-size maxi dresses, this is key for showing off your curves in a long dress. 
• Tie it. Looking to show off those new shoes or tan legs? Tie your dress up a little for a DIY slit effect. By knotting the dress near your ankle, you transform the look of a basic maxi dress into a bohemian-inspired garment. It also changes up the length when you need variety in a minimal closet or when packing for a trip. 

We have all the dresses and accessories you need to make your maxi or midi dress pop. Choose your favorite maxi or midi dresses, and then check out the rest of our website for some accessories to finish off the outfit. 

Plus-Size Maxi Dresses
