floor-length
Reaching the carpet
Floor-length describes a garment, curtain, or other hanging fabric that extends all the way down to the floor.
The term most commonly applies to formal dresses, gowns, and drapes.
A floor-length gown is typically worn at formal events like galas or weddings, while floor-length curtains create a dramatic, elegant look in interior design.
The measurement assumes the wearer is standing or the fabric is hanging naturally.
