Spring/Summer 2010 Trend Report: Maxi Dresses

Maxi Dresses

Made popular by the free-spirited flower children of the 60s and 70s, maxi dresses are making another comeback this spring. Usually form-fitting up top with a floor-length skirt of flowing fabric, these dresses inspire one to be carefree and spontaneous, believing in anything magical or out-of-this-world. Perfect for a quick barefooted run through a field of flowers or even a forbidden dance in a fountain, maxi dresses make you feel like a captivating soul about to steal someone's heart away. 

Pair your free-spirited dress with some cute gladiator sandals or a flower garland, and you are ready to take on the spring fashion scene!
