A number of the pieces have already sold out online, and this one is set to follow.
Instagram user Aisling Larkin shared a short video to the platform for her followers, showing off her new find.
In the caption of the post, she wrote: “I have never been more indecisive about a dress!”
“I think the length is throwing me – what do you think, is it a YES or a NO?”
In the video, Aisling can be seen wearing a gorgeous denim dress that reaches just above the ankles.
It features short sleeves and a plunging v-neckline, making it the perfect dress for the warmer weather.
The denim piece also has buttons up the centre, with a cinched waist creating a flattering silhouette.
In the comments section of the video, while replying to one commenter, Aisling let viewers in on a fabulous secret detail.
She said: “The buttons are fake; there’s a zip at the side.”
Another commenter wrote: “Love that on you, very flattering”.
In response, Aisling said: “The shape at the waist is gorgeous, and it’s only helped by the ruching and balanced shoulder; I think I love it for all those reasons.”
Another viewer reassured her that it’s very on trend, saying: “I love this, the longer length is more in now I think”.
Someone else said she looked “awesome”, while others said she looked “fab”.
The Midi Denim Dress is selling for just €45.95 in Zara.
It is available in sizes XS to XL, and is sure to be a spring staple.
In the official item description on the Zara website, fashion chiefs wrote: “Collared, v-neck dress with short turn-up sleeves. Fitted waist with gathers at the sides.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES
DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 – and it was an instant hit.
Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland’s first ‘shopping frenzy’.
During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne’s ‘Better Value’ bargains.
Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 – starting with apples and oranges.
The retailer said: “Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town.
“Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong.
“Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas.”
The retailer’s first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960.
They added: “In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed.
“Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England.”
Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
