The fashion runways are always a hit or miss. Sure, we are always loving what the designers are showcasing, but often times they’re unrealistic to incorporate into our day-to-day lives. This season’s must-have trend, however, is a whole other story.

We love midi dresses. We love maxi dresses. Both options are not only flowy but ultra-flattering. But what happens when you combine them both? Meet the “midaxi.” We’re lusting over this season’s most wearable trend and this top-rated dress is our top pick when looking to master the art of wearing the runway trend IRL.

The Eliza J Pleated Floral Chiffon Maxi Dress is the best of both worlds, perfectly blending the two dress lengths together to create the dreamiest design ever. And as Harper’s BAZAAR UK pointed out, the midaxi — a length that hits just above the ankle and an inch lower than mid-calf — is here to stay.

Florals for spring? Well, on this dress, they are in fact groundbreaking! This dreamy dress features a cobalt blue and white color combination which is blended to perfection. It’s subtle, yet striking and is highly transitional within a wardrobe.

The sleeveless, easy-to-wear silhouette is only sweetened even more with vertical pleats. The flowing floral gown also features an accordion-style skirt which is not only flowy but flattering in all of the right areas. Not only will dress lovers look their best in this dreamy number, but they will also feel their best, too.

The most understated detailing on this entire silhouette? The removable adjustable belt, of course! When itching for some definition on our waistlines, simply add the belt for an instant hourglass frame. The belt can also control the length and really ensure this dress fits the midaxi trend, no matter our height.

Looking to make things a bit shorter than the traditional maxi trend? No problem! Simply utilize the belt to blouse this floral frock up a bit more. The belt will secure the dress in place and shorten the hemming a bit higher. It’ll be ideal when looking to walk on the beach or dip our toes in the water. Talk about endlessly versatile.

In terms of styling this midaxi dress, it’s just as endlessly wearable and transitional. Whether we’re slipping into block heels or a pair of fabulous flats, almost any shoe will pair well. Throw on a knee-length cardigan when the temperatures begin to drop or even a cozy cashmere sweater over the top. Regardless of how it’s worn, chances are it’ll look as fabulous as ever.

Certainly, this dress has more than just us smitten. Hundreds of reviewers happen to agree! Across the board, shoppers could not stop raving over this flowy and fabulous dress, with many reviewers naming the adjustable belt as their favorite part. Didn’t we tell everyone that was going to happen? It’s that amazing!

Gone are the days where we wish we could wear the runway trends! That’s right, thanks to this top-rated dress, the midaxi trend will be easier than ever to dupe.
