Louise Thompson has recently been sharing her favourite Free People pieces – and it included this ‘most flattering’ maxi dress that she owns in multiple shades
One who always shares her latest fashion find, Louise Thompson, has once again been pointing fans in the direction of a must-have maxi dress that she loves so much that she bought it in different shades.
The “beauty” of a dress that Louise was raving about this week is the Dixie Maxi from Free People. Boasting a flowy design and lightweight material, Louise’s maxi dress comes in a whopping ten shades to choose from. That said, it’s worth noting that some sizes in some colours may have sold out, thanks to this gem’s popularity, so you may want to act fast.

Touted as “romantic and ethereal”, this maxi from Free People’s free-est collection is a true versatile staple. Boasting a billowy fit throughout that cinches at the waist for a flattering but unrestricted silhouette, this number features an elegant V-neckline that seamlessly merges casual style with formal flourishes.
Also offering a smocked panelling bodice that promises a flattering and comfortable fit that complements any body type, this dress features exaggerated sleeves that add to its fairytale charm and loose-flowing vibes – a feature Louise has loved in various other outfits.
Elevated with embroidered lace piecing at the skirt, this dress can be your perfect companion from everyday activities to sunset walks on the beach. Timelessly complemented by a sleek heel or simple flats, this piece promises endless ways to wear. The dress is available in sizes XS to XL and retails for £108.
This beauty comes in a range of hues, including Louise’s favourites: rust orange, blue, and ivory. Shades of pink, green, beige, and red are also available. That said, some size options are sold out in some colours, so you’ll need to hurry to get yours before it’s gone.
Louise raved about the dress on her social media, telling fans it gets her “so many compliments” and is one of “the most flattering” dresses she has.
Others who have bought Louise’s beloved dress can’t stop raving about it. One thrilled customer says: “I got so many compliments while walking around Santorini. It is so perfect with the coverage for the sun, light enough for the hot weather. I feel like a goddess in this dress.”
Another buyer beams: “This is my new favorite dress! It’s extremely comfortable, flattering and has big pockets. I’m a C cup and don’t need a bra with it and am 5’8″ and it comes to my ankles. I’m buying two more in other colors. Way to knock this one out of the park FP!”
And a third shopper shares: “Purchased this one for my teen daughter. Its truly a beautiful dress. She looks like a little woodland fairy every time she wears it. Its light weight and has very generous, deep pockets. I legit watched her put 2 oranges in one pocket to carry around as snacks. She is a size 2 and the Small was a perfect fit.”
More love comes from this customer who writes: “I have been eyeing this dress for a while after seeing one of my favorite tiktokers wearing it in her videos. I finally pulled the trigger and bought it. Shipping was extremely fast. It is so gorgeous the material is so nice and high quality. According to the size chart I should be a small but I read reviews and followed the advice to size down, and I’m so glad I did it fits great! I feel like a cottage core princess and will be ordering in other colors as well!”
And another chimes in: “Wore this dress this past weekend and I got some many compliments, wasn’t too long on me & I’m 5’3 usually maxi dresses from free people is long on me , but this one fixed perfectly I ended up getting it in a xs . I pair it with some platform sandal’s.”
