maxidress
Floor-grazing summer garment
A maxidress is a woman's dress that extends to the ankles or floor, distinguished from shorter styles by its full length.
The maxi- prefix, borrowed from fashion terminology of the 1960s, indicates maximum length: She wore a flowy maxidress to the beach wedding.
The style ranges from casual summer wear to formal evening attire.
