Long dresses are whats hot hot hot this year. Women are sporting long evening dresses, long formal dresses, long black dresses, long summer dresses, there is no end to where you can sport a dress, including one that reaches your ankles!

That red carpet style is in fashion for more than Hollywood's hottest. Women are finding long evening dresses to brighten up formal events and weddings. There was a time when short dresses were in fashion, but while a short evening dress is sassy and pretty, a long evening gown will turn heads with elegance and flair.

Looking for a range of summer dresses that will fit your budget and let you cover up. Modest while still being sexy, a long dress is the answer. A long dress doesn't have to be modest either. It can be floral, embroidered, beaded or anything you want to make it flamboyant and fun. In fact the the current trend is African prints such as leopard, yellows and browns and leather sandals.

Whether you're walking the red carpet, or the parking lot at your local shopping center, you'll find a long dress is comfortable, stylish and oh so feminine.

The color selections are unbelievable; burgundy, aqua, pink, white, black, ivory, fuchsia, ice blue, lilac, red, sage, chocolate, coral champagne.

Satin Chiffon Long Formal Dress | Long Black Dress

This best seller on Amazon is one of my favorites, mainly because it reminds me of the old 30s movie stars. The chiffon adds a very sexy and soft feminine accessory to the already beautiful satin fabric.

I love how the top gathers in, and its especially beautiful for women with smaller busts.
The sizes range from XS-3x, and I think the larger size woman benefits tremendously from the empire waist gown and the length it adds to the figure.

Colors are chocolate, pink, purple, lavender, gold, white, red, royal blue, sage, ice blue, ivory, silver, burgundy and black.

Fit for any bridesmaid, prom or special event, this dress is classic and beautiful in both style and fabric.

Cost is $69.99. A steal if you ask me. My bridesmaids' dresses were $110 bucks each.

Oh one thing I love about this dress: the empire waist is made up of little jewels. Oh so pretty.

Tiered long formal dress in white

Beautiful Tiered Chiffon Long Evening Dress | Long Black Dress

This is one of those dresses that make you sigh when you look at it. So beautiful and feminine it's just gorgeous, glamorous and everything you'd want in a dress. My favorite is the silver color because it looks so antique. Just perfect, in my opinion, for a vintage bridesmaid dress.There is a small jewel just at the pinnacle of the waist which is lovely and the satin ribbon which skirts around the front and back. (yes I am just sighing when I look at it).
If you have a smaller bust, this is the perfect dress as it will give you extra padding in the bust area.

The great thing is the sizes range from small to 4x. So nice to have dresses that us plus size girls can wear that are fantastically feminine (instead of big tents, that so many designers think we want =( )

Colors choices are a little less than the other ones, but the dress is beautiful in every color as far as I'm concerned. Red, pink, sage, silver, ivory and black.

I just think for $79.99 this dress will make people say wow, even for a wedding dress.

This beautiful real bride in the dress. I think she looks amazing.

Satin Long Evening Dress Halter Style

This gown is so amazing. As you can see by the pictures it's both elegant and stylish, while at the same time being fun and flirtatious. This dress is for that perfect formal occasion where you want to look like Hollywood in the 50s, but not like you're wearing a costume.

Sizes for every woman ranging from x-small to 3x. This dress is very flattering to every figur, but especially for plus size women who want to be sexy.

Colors are aqua, ivory, sage, ice, burgundy, white, black, red, lilac, pink and chocolate. But the red is just too irresistible, don't you think?

Long Summer Dresses

Long dresses in the summer are more comfortable than short dresses, at times. The sun stays off your legs and summer dresses are often soft and gauzy allowing breath-ability. A long summer dress is a lovely way to feel feminine and sexy while still being casual.

Maxi Long Summer Dress Diamond Print with Wood Ring Embellishment

Fun, flirty and pretty is how I would describe this awesome dress. With the empire waist and straight skirt, you'll look taller and slimmer. The material is polyester so it's washable.

It comes in two styles one is blue and green, the other is red and orange.

Sizes range from small to 3x and everywhere in between.

For $44.99 this is a beautiful summer dress. I hope you wear it as much as I do, because its great for just hanging out and shopping. I throw it on and hair in a pony tail and I'm out the door.

Long Summer Dress Maxi

Kensie Girl Juniors' Long Maxi Dress,Black,Medium
Amazon Price: $68.00

Maxi Long Dress Kensie Girl

I really wish this dress came in more sizes, because it is so gorgeous I want to wear it all the time. The dress is made of spandex, so beware if you have a few figure imperfections, but when I wear mine with a pair of Spanx its perfect.

It only comes in black, so not that great for summer days, but for $51 its unbelievably perfect for summer evenings. It looks a lot more formal than it should for a summer dress, but I just can't resist adding it here because the material makes it wearable for so many different things. Dress it down with a wide leather brown belt and sandals or dress it up with some soft gold or silver jewelry.

Can you just picture this dress with a wide brimmed summer straw hat? LOVE IT!

Sizes come in x-small to large.

Long Summer Dress Cozumel Rip Curl

This dress just screams summer, doesnt it? Al I can think about when I see this dress is vacationing in the Bahamas. Probably why they call it “Cozumel” :). This dress looks amazing on, and dont be frightened of the horizontal strips (unless you're really hippy, like me, but I don't care I wear it anywy). I'll never understand why this dress isn't one of the top best sellers (although it is like number 20 or so). I find it so much prettier than most of the other dresses (which many are black *shrug*).

For $54 this dress is never going to go out of style. Again the summer sunglasses and big straw hats and purses come into mind when I see this dress.

Sizes are small medium and large and its going to fit perfectly into your suitcase for your trip. It's cotton so it'll wash really well.

Strapless Floral Long Summer Dress

I've saved the best for last. This dress is unbelievable at only $15. Lightweight, gorgeous floral print for only fifteen dollars! I had to say it twice, because I actually had to do a double take when I saw the dress. This awesome dress is 100% cotton, which means you roll it up in your suitcase or swim bag, and off you go. No fuss no muss. An empire waist makes it figure flattering for any sizes.

Sizes range is small medium and large. Unfortunately there is no extra large =(. But it fits me OK and I'm nearly x-large =). (it'll fit better in 10 pounds haha).

Colors are pink blue and purple.

Gotta have this dress in your closet.

I suppose we are fortunate women living in the south. We get to wear summer dresses eight months out of the year.
