It's strange to think of an extra long dress as being a hot weather staple, but somehow it is. That doesn't mean that it has to be a summer only style. The thing about maxi dresses that makes them traditionally incompatible with winter is that winter is for thick bulky fabrics and lots of layers. Floor length bulk can swallow a person. On the other hand sheer fabrics can be far too breezy for days below freezing. There has to be a happy medium. I chose this Vero Viva Maxi because it had longer sleeves. and a wrap style that allows me to adjust the size slightly so I can add a camisole and slip underneath to keep me warm. Add tights and a nice crop cardi that falls right at the waist line and I think I could handle a winter day tolerably well without all the bulk.
