Six of the Best Maxi Dresses

Hottest silhouette on the 2008 fashion radar? The maxi – in all its Grecian glory. We've seen voluminous at Biba, hand-painted at Matthew Williamson, embellished at Schumacher and graphic prints at Jaeger. The maxi is the dress that will take you to festival (add gladiators), beach (add flip-flops), garden party (add ballet pumps) and wedding (add heels). And the best bit? No need to fake bake our legs – hurrah!
