floor length

Gown's full drop

Floor length describes a garment—typically a dress, skirt, or gown—that extends all the way to the floor: She wore a floor-length evening gown to the gala.

The term implies formality, as floor-length clothing is associated with black-tie events, weddings, and ceremonial occasions rather than everyday wear.
