Best Overall Maxi Dress

If you’re looking for an everyday maxi dress that you can also dress up for special occasions, I highly recommend the Somerset Dress.

The elastic waistband creates a very pretty silhouette, cinches you slightly while the bottom flows very nicely and it has pockets. It’s also a more modest maxi dress you can easily wear to work.

After trying it on, I absolutely fell in love with this print, but it comes in several patterns. The floral maxi dress print is also stunning.

It’s the kind of maxi dress that is flattering on every body type. It would be a great dress for curvy figure as well as a more athletic build.
