A maxi dress is one of the most adaptable wardrobe pieces you can own. With the right layers, accessories and footwear, you can style it to suit any time of year, from sunny summer holidays to cosy winter dinners.

Summer maxi dresses

For warmer days, there’s nothing easier than slipping into a lightweight flowy maxi dress. Keep cool and stylish by pairing your dress with women’s slides, a wide-brimmed hat and statement sunglasses for an effortless summer outfit.

Winter maxi dresses

As temperatures drop, your maxi dress can easily transition into a winter essential. Our long sleeve styles add warmth while maintaining elegance.

Spring maxi dresses

Maxi dresses are the perfect choice for in-between weather.

Whatever the season, every Blue Bungalow NZ maxi dress is made to move with you, offering comfort, style and timeless appeal all year long.

How to Choose the Best Maxi Dress with Confidence

Finding your perfect maxi dress is about discovering the styles and colours that make you feel your best. From body shape to fabric preference, here are a few steps to help you choose the right fit with confidence.

Step 1: Measure for accuracy

Start by measuring your bust, waist and hips to find your perfect fit. This helps avoid lengths that are too long or shapes that feel too loose or restrictive. Use a mirror to check your tape is level, and measure over your undergarments for accuracy. Save your measurements on your phone so you can easily reference them when shopping online.

Step 2: Find your fit

Each dress on our site includes a detailed size guide. Our team measures every piece to ensure you get accurate sizing details so you can confidently select your best fit.

Step 3: Compare and choose

Compare your measurements with those listed for each maxi dress. For an extra guide, you can measure a similar dress you already own to understand how each style will sit and feel.
