Strapless Maxi Dress - Summer Wedding Favourite

If you are like me, than you likely have a long list of engagements planned for the summer and this includes summer weddings. You may or may not be excited about these events but if you look into your closet and see only out dated summer dresses we can help you look your best! With the right dress you can turn any engagement you have into something you will look forward to, if for no other reason but to wear your new dress by Elan International. This designer has taken the time to create an extensive line of summer and casual wear dresses that can easily be transformed into evening attire through a few simple changes. Within this article we are going to specifically discuss the strapless maxi dress.

The strapless maxi dress is without a doubt one of the summer's top dress choices and one that literally every woman of any age and size can utilize. As you may or may not know the maxi dress is a style brought back from the '70s and one that creates a casual sense of elegance for any and every occasion. The maxi dress is floor length which is one of the reasons some women choose to stay away from this style. If you are not 6feet tall it may seem like there is no way you can pull off this style but this is not the case. Shorter women can most definitely wear floor length summer dresses by either wearing your favourite tall heels or even hemming the dress by taking off a few inches to make it work.

Elan International has created a breath taking strapless maxi dress that has quickly become a summer wedding favourite. This dress offers a fitted piece as the top but the hem of the dress is what is most interesting. It is an uneven trim made of chiffon that offers longer and shorter lengths throughout the dress for interest. Available to purchase in dusty pink, grey or white you have the choice of the most popular summer dresses of the season. You can be confident in the quality of Elan International's clothing and the price is something you will definitely be happy with.


What is a great benefit to this particular maxi dress style is that it can be worn anywhere. Many times when we have to buy a dress for a wedding or special occasion we find that these dresses can't be worn again. Where with the maxi dress it is dressy enough to be wedding appropriate but it is also casual enough to be worn to many other occasions as well. For the cooler nights of the summer don't forget you can easily layer your maxi dress with a cropped jean jacket, leather jacket or summer sweater for warmth. Fashion scarves are a great option as well when it comes to not only layering but adding a bit of additional detail to a look you already love.

Maxi Dresses

It might have been around for the past few seasons but the maxi dress is most certainly hot this season and will be for many to come. Easy to wear, versatile and comfortable, it is no wonder maxi dresses are so popular. Take a look at the different styles that are must haves right now and find out which style best suits your figure and shape.

Vibrant prints

It's summer time so that means bright floral prints are everywhere; so combine with a strappy maxi to really get that summer feeling. You'll find bright shades and clashing vibrant colours work well and when the sun is out, so don't be afraid to make a fashion statement with both.
If you have a petite build a small floral print won't overpower your figure and will keep you looking in proportion, while plus size women will find a larger print more flattering.

Earthy tones

Even though it's summer, neutral tones are still very much in right now, and you'll find lots of maxi dresses in earthy tones of green, black, brown and orange, all of which create a beautifully rich look. Reminiscent of the boho chic trend, these colours are every inch the hippy look; especially stunning for casual everyday wear when you want to look a little bit more feminine. Usually in pretty floral prints, these maxi dresses in earthy shades have a funky and bohemian appearance.

Maxis with halter necks

Women with a large bust or hourglass figure may struggle to find a maxi to fit, however, follow our simple buying tips and you'll find a style to suit your shape. An empire line that falls from beneath the bust will flatter a waistline, although smocking on the bust is not recommended for big busts. A halter neck with a plunge style rather than high fronted is the best option and wear a good strapless or multi way bra. If you prefer to highlight your waist and show off your curves, add a waist belt to create a cinched in look.

Simple maxi dresses
Sometimes less is more and it's no different with the popularity of plain maxi dresses in cotton jersey with no detailing or pattern, which are ever so versatile and are especially great for day to night. Wear individually for fashionable daytime wear or dress up with sparkling accessories for a night out. There are also maxi dresses for the latest Sports Luxe trend designed with broad vest straps for a sportier look in black, white or grey marl. Fashion followers will love stretchy tube style maxi dresses, but they're not as easy to wear as the gypsy styles for plus size women because of their figure hugging design.
