Drape Fringe Dress

This drape fringe dress is a long black bodycon in a soft, velvety stretch knit, gathered into ruching from the bust down to the hip. A high turtleneck halter closes at the throat and trails a long sash down the open back. From the hip, fringe falls all the way to the ankle over a short opaque underlayer, so the legs flash through only when you move.

How the Draping Shapes This Black Fringe Dress

The ruched bodice follows the body closely and makes soft folds that catch light. Because the front is covered to the neck, the open back and the trailing sash carry the drama, and the floor-skimming fringe adds swing every time you turn. The length runs about 55.9 to 57.5 in (142-146 cm) by size.

A Backless Long Dress for New Year's Eve

Black suits winter evenings: a New Year's Eve party, a cocktail bar with a 1920s jazz band, a dinner after the theater. Keep jewelry to statement earrings and a cuff, since the neckline needs no necklace. Strappy heels and a sleek low bun let the back show. You will find sequin styles in our fringe flapper dress.

Black Fringe Maxi Dress FAQ

What bra works with an open back?

There is no built-in support, so a stick-on or backless bra is the usual choice. Try the dress on with it at home before the event.

Which size should I order?

Sizes run S to L, from a 34.6 in (88 cm) bust to 37.8 in (96 cm). The chart photo shows another color of the same dress; the measurements apply to black too. The knit stretches, so pick by bust and waist.

How do I care for the fringe?

Wash gently by hand in cold water, never wring it, and hang the dress to dry so the fringe falls straight.
