Women's Maxi Dresses

Offering a floor-sweeping silhouette that elongates the frame, maxi dresses are the epitome of effortless style. Whether you are seeking a breathable cotton design for the weekend or a sleek satin piece for a formal event, our collection has high-quality options for every occasion. Discover designs that offer both comfort and sophisticated impact, ensuring you feel polished wherever you go.

What defines a maxi dress?

A maxi dress is characterised by its long hemline, typically reaching the ankle or floor. This silhouette offers a flowing, elongated look that suits various occasions. Unlike midi dresses which stop at the calf, maxis provide full coverage and an elegant aesthetic.

Can I wear a maxi dress if I am petite?

Absolutely. Petite frames can look stunning in maxi dresses. Look for solid colours or vertical prints to visually elongate the body. Choosing a style with a defined waistline or a side slit can also prevent the fabric from overwhelming your figure.

What shoes should I wear with a maxi dress?

Shoe choice depends on the occasion. For casual settings, sandals or white sneakers offer a relaxed vibe. For formal events, block heels or wedges provide elevation, preventing the hem from dragging while maintaining comfort. Ensure the hemline sits just above the floor when wearing your chosen footwear.

How extensive is the women's maxi dress range at Myer?

We offer one of the largest collections in Australia, featuring hundreds of styles from over 60 leading brands.

Are maxi dresses suitable for maternity wear?

Maxi dresses are a favourite for maternity fashion due to their flowing nature. Empire waistlines or wrap styles accommodate a growing bump comfortably while maintaining a chic silhouette. They offer a versatile solution that transitions easily through different stages of pregnancy without compromising on style.
