Maxi dresses for royal glamour

Sep 13 2011 Advertisement Feature

Loved by celebrities, top designers and stylists across the world, maxi dresses are a wardrobe essential for every woman.

Glamorous and practical, a floor length maxi can be dressed up with accessories and heels for a night on the town or dressed down with flip flops for a day on the beach. One of the top selling fashions of 2011, check out the Littlewoods collection for maxi dresses online.

For evening glamour, take a leaf out of Pippa Middleton’s book. The stunning younger sister of the Duchess Kate wowed guests at the royal wedding last April when she stepped out in her green Alice Temperley gown. With the beautiful bright green fabric hugging her slim figure, she quickly sparked wardrobe envy amongst a nation of women. The perfect follow up to her Sarah Burton maid of honour dress, Pippa proved that an evening maxi dress can turn just as many heads.

More recently, the London socialite has been spotted out in a fabulous nude maxi, showing off her casual glamorous style around London’s most prestigious districts. Teaming it with a light white jacket and white wedges, Pippa has the perfect British summer style.  To create her look, check out maxi dresses online at Littlewoods. Offering popular high street brands inspired by top designers, there’s something to suit everyone. After all, nothing says glamour like a floor-sweeping gown.

Trend-setting Pippa is not the only celebrity who loves maxi dresses; Kate Moss, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are also big fans. Worn everywhere from the dance floor to the beach, the starlets have already proved just how versatile these dresses are. Due to their flexibility and comfort, they’re also a great choice during pregnancy and for the months afterwards. Following in the footsteps of Nicole Richie, shop maxi dresses online to find some yummy mummy essentials.

Favoured by top fashionistas for its long, flowing appeal, there are few garments more feminine than the maxi. Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe regularly advises her clients to don a floor length dress. Enhancing the silhouette of tall girls and giving extra height to short girls, it’s easy to see why the maxi dress has become a firm favourite.

Flattering for all body shapes, the design allows women to cover up their legs, so there’s no need to worry about waxing or tanning with a maxi dress - a blessing for those occasions when you don't have the time to carry out your full beauty regime.

To combine comfort, glamour and style, shop maxi dresses online. Ideal for any occasion, there’s something for everyone in the stunning Littlewoods collection.
