In a sharp contrast to the mini dress last year, the maxi dress is a sweeping hit on the runway this 2008. The long billowy maxi is creating ripples in the fashion world. Tall goddesses like Kate Moss, Paris Hilton and Keira Knightley have been carrying it with great panache. Our glam experts give a lowdown on this haute garment. Designer Tahera Peeran says, “Maxi dress reflects this season’s reminiscence of romance and femininity and also volume in silhouettes. These full-length dresses sweep the floor and sway gracefully.” The best thing about maxis is that while it makes one look elegant, it covers that puppy flab. “It also covers your legs, something that traditionally Indian women prefer,” adds designer Anupama Dayal.
