Making an accessory such as this has likely been a part of the legacy of many fashion designers, but those produced by Christian Dior, Yves Saint Laurent and Valentino are consistently popular. Finding an elegant maxi dress for sale for women should be easy, but there are 70 pieces available to browse for men as well.

How Much is a Elegant Maxi Dress?

Finding the Right clothing for You

From museum-worthy vintage Oscar de la Renta evening dresses and jackets to audacious T-shirts and trousers from provocative punk designer Vivienne Westwood, one thing is abundantly clear: If the clothing available on 1stDibs could talk, it would certainly make a statement. 

For fashion lovers, the 1990s have become associated with styles adopted by today’s supermodels and influencers — think Galliano and Cavalli — but maybe ‘80s accessories are among your (guilty?) pleasures. Playful, boldly colored coats and outerwear from Moschino and other titans of the era can take a simpler ensemble to the next level, while chic and practical suits from the likes of Christian Dior and Chanel remain classic for haute couture advocates and beyond. By exploring the vast array of vintage collections on these pages, you can transform your closet into a retreat that is as retro as it is royal. 

Velvet cocktail dresses and silk evening gowns designed by French-born American couturiere Pauline Trigère — who dressed Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor — have proven timeless since their mid-century debut, while an overcoat by Alexander McQueen is the perfect finishing touch. In fact, an emerald one stays in rotation for Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge.

Those seeking modern high-fashion brands are also in luck. Turn your day-to-day into a runway with selections from Dolce & Gabbana, Yves Saint Laurent and Versace or complete that fresh look with stunning footwear classics from the likes of Gucci and Christian Louboutin. The future — and glamorous past — of fashion is yours for the wearing. 

Build your collection of covetable and iconic vintage garments by shopping on 1stDibs. No matter where you roam, our diverse apparel and accessories will keep you covered in the hottest styles and comfiest black hoodie imaginable.

Questions About Elegant Maxi Dress
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 13, 2024
    Yes, maxi dresses are flattering. The key to choosing one that complements your curves is to look for styles that work with your body shape. For an hourglass figure, a maxi dress with a plunging v-neck and/or a fitted waist is often a good choice. Strapless tops and full skirts can balance a pear-shaped figure, while embellishments like ruffles and ruching can enhance an athletic body type. If you have an apple-shaped body, look for maxi dresses with empire waists, belts or swingy skirts. Shop a large selection of maxi dresses on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, the maxi dress was very popular in the 1970s. This was a strange transitional era for women’s clothing as they left behind more modest clothing and embraced a risque approach to style. This meant that in the 1970s maxi dresses sat alongside miniskirts in the same closet. Shop a collection of 1970’s-inspired vintage clothing from some of the world’s top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertAugust 17, 2021
    The best shoes to wear with a maxi dress is dependent on the occasion and design of the dress. Wearing flat shoes such as sandals are great for a casual outfit during the day. For evenings, heels could be substituted for elevating your look if a formal dinner or other event is in the plans.
