the drape maxi

A maxi dress can be worn in an informal or formal length depending on certain occasions. What inspires me are various celebrity paparazzi shots, no matter if it’s just grabbing a coffee or on the streets. Since most of the time they look comfortable and relax in way chic way. From plain colors, patterns, prints, layers…etc I find adding drapes will create a dramatic effect when it’s done properly. Draping adds a hint of Goddess vibe to any maxi dresses. The neckline drape from Archive Collection( A.T by Atsuro Tayama) is a good example. My preference on footwear for maxi dresses are something flat! Sandals, ballerina flats, converse or even cool loafers will work the relax yet comfortable trick.

Tips on creating a soft silhouette for jersey maxi dresses: For a more defined waistline with maxi dresses, you can use a cloth strap and tie it right above your belly button. This will create a better proportion to your body and create a small belly illusion. I highly recommend you use a cloth strap/ribbon instead of belt.
