1920s Summer Dress

This 1920s summer dress comes in apricot, a soft peach that turns almost cream in bright sun. It is sleeveless with a round scoop neckline and a straight, loose cut; an art deco leaf motif in gold-tone sequins and beads covers the bodice and dropped waist, and layered fringe swings down to around the knee.

Where We Wear an Apricot Flapper Dress

Summer brings the jazz-age events with the best settings: a lawn party with a brass band, a vineyard wedding, a rooftop cocktail hour, a Gatsby garden picnic. Apricot reads warm and fresh outdoors where black can feel heavy, and it photographs beautifully against greenery. As a wedding guest it is soft enough to flatter yet clearly not bridal white. Sequins and fringe are evening-weight details, so it shines most once the sun starts to drop.

Accessories for a Summer Fringe Dress

Keep the palette light. Nude or tan strappy heels, a cream cloche or a ribbon headband, faux pearl drop earrings and a small beaded bag. On grass, a block heel saves you from sinking. The feather headband, necklace, gloves and fan on our model are props. For other shades and cuts, see our 1920s dresses.

Apricot Summer Dress FAQ

Will apricot suit fair skin?

Apricot is a soft, peachy shade that works on most skin tones. Fair skin looks fresh beside it; a tan deepens the warmth.

How should I care for the sequins and fringe after an outdoor party?

We suggest gentle hand washing in cold water, then drying flat without wringing. Store it hanging or loosely rolled so the fringe stays straight.

Which size do you recommend?

The cut is relaxed, so most customers take their usual size. Chart figures are taken flat: the chest measures 33.1 in (84 cm) around in S up to 44.9 in (114 cm) in XXXL.
