MAXED Out!

Tagged by Life of a Jersey Girl

This week the topic of the eVintage blog tags is Maxis. They are still on the scene this season and they seem to be here to stay for a while.

Q. MAXI OR PATIO DRESS, AND WHY?

Maxi, it is the name coined in the 60's for the long dresses. 'Patio Dress' is more of a 50s term and the style is quite different.

thanks to aprizeeverytime from the vca

Q. FAVORITE MAXI DRESS IN YOUR INVENTORY?

Its too difficult to choose only one.


Mr. Dino



Q. AS A TREND, WILL IT BE A HIT OR A MISS?

Its been a big hit for two consecutive years now worn by many.


Last year's celebration of the Summer of Love had the maxi strutting the pages of all the major fashion magazines including Style.


Q. DO YOU WEAR MAXI DRESSES OR SKIRTS?

Yes to both.

Q. PROS AND CONS?

Pros - I can think of many. They are feminine and comfortable. You don't have to shave your legs :) , they go from day to night with ease, they are fantastic as beachwear/cover up when the sun goes down and the chill is in the air. Maxis are chic.

Cons - would'nt wear one in the rain

Always great vintage from eVintage members.
