2010 was the year of maxi dresses and this year, the trend shows no sign of slowing down in 2011. This year, it is all about the sheer maxi dress, which is the one of the most flattering and versatile items of clothing you can buy.
The maxi dress has been designed to fit well in all of the right places, by clinging to the bits you want it to and hanging loose on the bits that you don’t. Generally ankle length, or sometimes floor length, this is a great item of clothing which can either be dressed up or dressed down for all occasions.
70s chic
As part of the ongoing 70s renaissance, most designers have gone to town on longer hemlines, daring front slits and bold patterned and floral prints.
The halter neck
As part of the retro 70s vibe, the focus for maxi dresses in 2011 will be all about the neckline. Jeweled and embellished collars are the order of the day and feel free to embellish with an oversized glass or stone pendant for a look that is bang on trend.
Feminine and floaty
The modern take on the classic maxi is feminize and floaty, with billowy chiffons and satins helping women to embrace the femininity. This means that it is perfect for the summer months and can be worn effortlessly with sandals

If you can dare to bare, then the new trend of partially see through sheer maxi dresses will be right up your street. At the moment, this is a daring look that only the bravest celebrities have attempted to pull of, but it’s only a matter of time before it comes to a mall near you
Vibrant colours
The bold and bright colours of maxi dresses this year are sure to blow you away. Shades of orange, pink and blue will be common and will compliment your summer tan perfectly.
