Frequently Asked Questions

What is a maxi dress?

A maxi dress is a floor-length or ankle-length dress that creates a long, unbroken silhouette. Maxi dresses come in styles ranging from casual and flowy to fitted and formal, and Böhme carries options across every category.

What is the difference between a maxi, midi, and mini dress?

The distinction is length. A maxi falls to the ankles or floor. A midi dress hits between the knee and ankle. A mini dress sits above the knee.

What qualities should you look for in a maxi dress?

Lightweight, breathable construction works best for warm-weather maxis. For cooler seasons, look for slightly heavier drape and long sleeve options. Wrinkle-resistant finishes and soft hand-feel are signs of quality worth paying attention to.

How do I style a maxi dress casually?

Flat sandals, a crossbody bag, and minimal jewelry keep a maxi dress relaxed. Adding a denim jacket or lightweight cardigan creates a layered look for errands, brunches, or weekend plans.

Can I wear a maxi dress to a wedding?

A wedding guest maxi dress in a rich color, elegant print, or refined finish is a strong choice for most dress codes. Pair with heels and polished accessories to match the formality. Avoid solid white unless the couple has specifically encouraged it.

What maxi dress works for a date night?

A fitted or wrap maxi in a solid color or subtle print creates the right balance of elegant and approachable. A black maxi dress with statement earrings is a reliable choice. Off the shoulder or cowl necklines add a romantic detail.
