(CBS)  Maxi dresses are hot this summer. Celebs such as Paris Hilton, Sarah Jessica Parker and Tori Spelling can't seem to get enough of them.

The light cotton dresses offer the glamour of a red-carpet dress, but are casual, light, and flirty, says "Early Show" contributor Katrina Szish, who showed how to make it work for you.

I'm disappointed as well. I went to ASOS and the dress is $109! I love the dress, and have trouble finding Maxi dresses because I am heavy on top! Please do the research!!!

My mistake...there are 2 dresses. Look almost exactly alike. Still can't purchase, only in larger sizes. At least I now know what to look for in a Maxi Dress!
$109.49 NOW $32.01
ASOS CURVE Coloured Cut Work Kimono Maxi
