*In this late-night feature – which will run on Tuesday and Thursday of each week – I’ll gather up three fun items that are currently on sale online and share them with you! I would LOVE suggestions: Stylish wide-width pumps? Classic v-necked sweaters? Chandelier earrings? Petite dress slacks? What would you like to see featured?*
KM Crisp requested a few picks for floaty or gauzy non-jersey maxi dresses, so here we go:
Maurice’s Maxi Dress with Lace – was $44, now $35.20
with code 2015CHEER
If you’re going for gauzy, you’ll get lots of pretty white options like this spaghetti-strap maxi with lace insets. This style is actually rayon lined with polyester, which means it might be a bit warmer than cotton but will also wrinkle less. Available in sizes XS – XXL. This similar style comes in sizes 16 – 24. If you prefer cotton, this dress is similar in design, but more of a midi length.
eShakti Graphic Print Georgette Maxi – was $99.95, now $64.95
eShakti does do quite a few jersey knit maxis, but they also offer pretty printed georgettes like this one. I love the notched neck and wide straps, though I think this frock might look even better with a belt covering the spot where bodice meets skirt. Available in sizes 0 -36W, and you can customize sleeve length, neckline, and hem on this dress. If you don’t dig this dress, do poke around – you’ll find silk, cotton voile, crepe, and poplin maxi dress options.
Madewell Aruba Cover-up Maxi Dress – was $110, now $79.99
It’s hard to get floatier than an a-line cotton maxi like this one! This style is cotton, so it’ll breathe beautifully, and I like that it offers coverage while still being breezy. Description says it’s slightly sheer, so clearly designed for beach-wear as the product name indicates, but could be paired with a silk half-slip for weekend wear. Available in sizes XS – XL. This similar style is made from rayon, but available in sizes 14W – 24W.
HONORABLE MENTIONS:
– This lovely navy floral maxi from Ann Taylor comes in 00 – 18, but isn’t currently on sale.
– DKNY has two sexy halter styles with elliptical hems – in black, and a white/red abstract print.
– Torrid’s maxis are phenomenal. This tie-dye chiffon maxi is particularly pretty.
Other not-currently-on-sale resources for non-jersey maxi dresses:
- Old Navy – Jersey is the mainstay, but look for chiffon options like this one mixed in.
- Nordstrom Rack – More than 200 maxis, including this lovely halterneck.
- Anthropologie – A stunning selection. Love this watercolor floral.

I would love love love suggestions for a classic tote THAT ZIPS (that part is really important!). I’m looking for something that is leather or faux leather, and doesn’t look beachy. Thank you!!
Will tackle this request as soon as I can, Betsy!
