floor-length gown

Ankle-reaching formal dress

A floor-length gown is a formal dress that extends to the ankles or floor, typically worn to elegant occasions like galas, proms, or black-tie events.

The length distinguishes it from shorter cocktail dresses and signals greater formality: She wore a stunning floor-length gown to the charity ball.
