I’ve always heard that in times of economic hardship dresses become longer. Take the 1930s for example. Gowns and day dresses reached longer lengths than the preceding Flapper era. The maxi dress returned again in the 1970s with updated prints and cuts. So, it seems fitting that it makes another appearance today. Ushered in with the onset of Spring, the maxi dress replaces the shorter tunics of yesterday. Shown above is a selection from the runway to the high street. Choose your color and style, and make your economic statement for the year.
