An elegant maxi dress is however perfect for wearing to a wedding, you just need to make sure you don't pick out a style or fabric that is too casual.

Whilst printed maxi dresses can look great for special occasions, plain designs can be equally as striking. The Phase Eight Monica Maxi Dress is just stunning. In a head turning shade of Scarlet Red it features, criss cross effect draping over the bodice and a long floaty skirt. The short sleeve design is appropriate for Church weddings, apparently it's tradition to have your shoulders covered in Church, though I think that concept might now be a little outdated. The heavy jersey fabric ensures the Monica Dress hangs beautifully. Size range 8 - 18. Price £130.00.
Wallis.co.uk is another great source of affordable fashion especially for Women in their thirties and older. They have a few plain maxi dresses to choose from in their 2012 collection many of which are suitable for wearing to weddings, such as this Purple Belted Maxi Dress. Again it's a sleeveless design which I would recommend as the majority of strapless styles are either too casual or are better suited to evening wear. It features a pretty gold chain belt. Co-ordinate your accessories to the belt for a glamorous look. Purple is one of the hottest colours for 2012. Size range 8 - 12. Price was £60.00. Sale Price £45.00.
