Maxi Dresses
The biggest section of the catalogue and the reason most people find the brand. Velvet for fall weddings, chiffon and smocked cotton blends for summer ones, a square neck viscose for days with no dress code. Six of the fifteen have pockets.
The core of the catalogue
Fifteen answers to one invitation
Every maxi here is aimed at the same event: someone else’s wedding. The split is seasonal. Velvet with sleeves for October, chiffon and light wovens for June, and the square-neck viscose for anyone tired of V-necks. Prices run $29.99 to $59.99.
Which fabric for which weddingBefore you order
The waist is elastic on almost all of them
Empire waists and smocking do the fitting here, not zips. That makes most of these dresses forgiving by a full size, and it makes the size chart matter mostly at the bust.

What is in this section
Velvet maxi dress
The dress this catalogue is built around. A short-sleeve V-neck velvet maxi at $59.99 with 2,333 public ratings at 4.5 stars, sold in four colourways including a plus-size navy cut and a floral burnout green. If Simplee has a signature piece, this is it. The safest expensive thing here: the price is the highest in the catalogue and so is the review count. 4 variants, from $59.99, 2,333 ratings.
Smocked chiffon maxi dress
The other 900-rating chiffon dress, one step dressier. The whole bodice is smocked, not just the waistband, the chiffon is fully lined, and the pink floral colourway leans garden party rather than beach. At $49.99 it sits between the chiffon workhorse and the velvet flagship, and 969 ratings say buyers think the position is fair. 1 variant, from $49.99, 969 ratings.
Chiffon floral maxi dress
A chiffon floral maxi with flutter sleeves, a casual V-neck and a smocked waist, carrying 966 public ratings at 4.2 stars. This is the warm-weather counterpart to the velvet flagship: same guest-list job, a third less money, a fabric that ignores humidity. Two listings of the same dress live in this catalogue at a cent apart; either one gets you the identical garment. 2 variants, from $39.97, 966 ratings.
Boho maxi dress with pockets
One dress, several listings: a tiered empire-waist maxi in woven 100% polyester with a V-neck, short sleeves and the feature the product name leads with: pockets. Black comes with a lace tier detail; navy, blue and teal are the plain-woven versions. Pick the black lace version for evening events; the navy and teal do double duty as vacation dresses. 4 variants, from $45.99, 476 ratings.
Square neck viscose maxi dress
The odd one out in the maxi section, in a good way. 100% viscose instead of polyester, a square neckline instead of the house V-neck, and long sleeves with ruffle cuffs. At $29.99 with a 4.5-star average it is the quiet overachiever of the dress range. For anyone who has decided against another V-neck floral, this is the alternative in the catalogue. 1 variant, from $29.99, 174 ratings.
Twist front velvet maxi dress
The shaped one among the velvet dresses. A twist of fabric crosses the front at the high waist, the skirt is ruched and stretchy, and a side slit runs to the knee. More construction than the flagship, at $45.99. Pick this over the flagship when you want the dress to shape you, not just hang well. 1 variant, from $45.99, 117 ratings.
Boho floral long sleeve maxi dress
A flowy floral maxi in 100% polyester with long sleeves and an elastic empire waist. It is the covered-up option among the floral dresses: sleeves to the wrist, a V-neck that stays modest, and a skirt with real volume. The dress for the guest list that says "garden wedding" in a month with a cold evening. 1 variant, from $55.99, 43 ratings.
Velvet flutter sleeve maxi dress
The budget way into velvet: a floor-length V-neck dress in 95% polyester, 5% spandex velvet with flutter sleeves and an elastic empire waist. Same fabric family as the $59.99 flagship, simpler construction, half the price. Burnt orange is a fall wedding colour that will not double another guest. 1 variant, from $29.99.
Decide in a minute
Shop this section if
- There is a wedding, gala or formal dinner on your calendar.
- You want floor length with a stretch waist, not a boned bodice.
- You need the dress to survive a suitcase and a buffet.
Look one section over if
- The dress code says cocktail: the minis and midis live next door.
- You want one piece instead of a dress at all.
