Maxi Dresses

A maxi dress does most of the work on its own, and this collection is built around that idea. Victorias Closet gathers full-length dresses in satin, velvet, chiffon and sequin, from quietly simple A-line shapes to full evening gowns with slits, draping and shine.

Evening wear leads the range. There is a silver tuxedo-inspired slit gown, a velvet and sequin mermaid dress with puff shoulders, a one-shoulder draped column gown with a front slit, and a satin pleated halter-neck gown — each one cut for occasions where a shorter dress would feel underdressed. Alongside them sit softer options: a floral printed chiffon shirt dress and a flutter sleeve pleated A-line maxi for daytime events and warmer rooms.

Texture is what sets these dresses apart. Satin gives a smooth, light-catching finish, velvet brings depth, chiffon moves as you walk, and sequin does the talking after dark. An orange faux leather maxi with a fur collar and a mocha brown satin cinched-waist dress round out the range for anyone who wants something less expected.

Because maxi dresses vary so much in fit — mermaid, A-line, column and shirt shapes all sit differently — each product page carries the fit and fabric details for that dress. Read those before ordering, and you will know how it is meant to sit rather than guessing from the photo alone.

For weddings, formal dinners, parties and any evening that calls for a full-length dress, start here. Browse the maxi dresses and find the shape and fabric that suits the night you have planned.
