Ava Zip Up Midi Dress

Looking for a floral midi dress that gives you fall color without giving up the bright, feminine prints you actually love? The Ava Midi Dress is that perfect little bridge between seasons—an ivory floral dress covered in gorgeous shades of pink, raspberry and warm taupe, with a flattering smocked waist and the easiest throw-it-on-and-go silhouette.

Picture this one for a September Saturday when the sun is still warm but you are officially over dressing like it’s July. You’ve got lunch on a patio, a little wandering through the shops afterward, maybe dinner plans that weren’t actually plans until somebody texts the group chat at 4:30. Ava goes with all of it. Add sandals and gold jewelry now, then pull out your favorite ankle boots when the temperatures finally drop. She feels polished enough that everyone thinks you made an effort, while you know the truth: you zipped her up, stuck your hands in those glorious pockets and walked out the door.

And THAT waist. The wide smocked panel pulls everything in at exactly the right spot before releasing into that easy midi skirt—definition without needing a belt, shapewear, or an afternoon spent sucking it in. The sleeveless cut keeps her comfortable while the bold floral print and longer length make her feel completely right for the season ahead.

Why you’ll love it

• Ivory background with bold pink, raspberry and taupe floral print
• Flattering midi length
• Sleeveless silhouette that's perfect for warm fall transition days
• V-neckline
• Functional front zipper for easy on and off
• Wide smocked waist creates comfortable definition
• Full, flowy skirt
• Pockets
• Easy silhouette with plenty of movement
• Gorgeous transitional palette that works now and well into fall
• Style with sandals now and ankle boots or a denim jacket later

Ava is the dress you buy because she's pretty and then realize you're wearing constantly because she works for practically everything on your calendar. And those easy, flattering, bra-friendly dresses with pockets? Yeah... those are usually the sizes we watch disappear first. If yours is still there, don't make Future You mad.

Fit and sizing reference: Kristi (brunette) is 5’5” 165lb (at the time these photos were taken) 36C and street size S/M & 29/9 in jeans.  She's wearing size M for a slightly generous fit. She could easily size down to the S in this one. If you are between sizes go with your smaller size.
