maxidresses

Floor-grazing summer frocks

Maxidresses are ankle-length dresses, typically casual or semiformal, that became popular in the late 1960s as a contrast to the miniskirt.

The maxi- prefix indicates maximum length: She wore a flowy maxidress to the beach wedding.

The style suits warm weather and relaxed occasions.
