How to wear a floral maxi dress

Let the print lead and pull one colour from it for your shoes and bag. A small print, like the Macgraw florals, reads as a texture from a distance, so it suits evening. Larger prints suit the day. For cotton styles, see cotton maxi dresses; for every print, see designer floral dresses.
