Black Fringe Cocktail Dress

Our black fringe cocktail dress is what you reach for when the invitation says cocktail attire and the theme says 1920s. Thin straps, a V neckline and an above-the-knee length keep the shape simple, while the tiers of sequined fringe that cover it from top to hem do all the talking.

Why a Black Fringe Dress Works at Cocktail Hour

Black fringe gives you movement without loud color, so it fits an office holiday party as easily as a Gatsby birthday. The tiers overlap, which keeps the body underneath covered even as the strands swing. On a dance floor it reads as pure motion; standing at the bar, it looks like a sleek little black dress with texture.

Accessories for a Black Cocktail Dress With Fringe

We keep the dress black and choose one metal for everything else: gold-tone hoops, a thin gold-tone cuff and a beaded clutch, or silver-tone drops with a crystal-look headband. Red lipstick and black strappy heels finish it. Other shades of this tiered cut, and more fringe styles, are in our fringe flapper dress range.

Black Fringe Dress FAQ

How do I pick my size?

Use the chart on this page and compare bust and hip measurements rather than trusting your usual letter. With straps this thin, a strapless bra works best underneath.

Is it dressy enough for a wedding?

For an evening reception with a cocktail dress code, yes. For black-tie, a floor-length style is the safer choice.

How should I pack it for a trip?

Roll it loosely inside a soft bag instead of folding it sharply, so the tiers come out straight. A few minutes in a steamy bathroom relaxes any creases once you arrive.
