Morphology
Given that 'zaftig' denotes a curvy, attractive body and 'dress' denotes a garment, the noun phrase is a straightforward adjective + noun composition: a dress for or emphasizing a zaftig figure. This compositional pattern is regular and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who already knows both constituent meanings can derive the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Zaftig dress comes from the Yiddish word zaftig, meaning pleasantly full or plump, like a ripe fruit that suggests soft curves. So a zaftig dress is a dress made to show and flatter a 'curvy' figure.
