A maxi dress is a floor or ankle length informal dress. Maxi dresses are formfitting at the top and loose flowing at the bottom, cut to flow over the body.  Maxi is a term used since the late 1960s for ankle-length, typically informal dresses.  However, they can certainly be formal dresses as well.  For more formal occasion dresses, try something with heavier drape and in a darker tone to suit the event.

Even though the length of the dress is the same, there are differences in fabric, print, color, and shape. If you're heading to brunch, try a maxi floral dress in a light cotton or sheer chiffon fabric.

A dress is a garment consisting of a skirt with an attached bodice (or a matching bodice giving the effect of a one-piece garment).  It consists of a top piece that covers the torso and hangs down over the legs.

Think of the "maxi" to represent "maximum" size or length.
