A midi floral dress in jewel tone colors reads as evening-appropriate and sophisticated. The midi length alone elevates a floral from casual to occasion. When the floral print is in sapphire, emerald, or burgundy rather than pink or coral the dress automatically reads as more formal. A midi floral with this color palette works for dinner dates and other occasions that need something more than everyday but less than fully formal. The length and color combination are doing the work to make a floral print feel adult and intentional. These are the floral dresses where length and color together create the occasion.
