Fringe Trim Dress

This fringe trim dress is the fitted cousin of the loose 1920s shift: a stretchy bandage bodycon with slim straps, a square neckline and rows of beads and fringe layered down the skirt, picked out with small studs. It comes in yellow or black, sizes S to XL, and joins the slimmer styles in our fringe flapper dress collection.

Yellow or Black: Two Moods for a Beaded Fringe Dress

Yellow is the party color: bright for a summer cocktail evening, a milestone birthday or a Gatsby garden party, and warm in photos under string lights. Black is the shape-first choice; the fringe reads as texture, so it moves from a New Year's Eve dinner to a gala or a black-tie wedding as a guest.

How the Bandage Dress Fits and Moves

The supplier lists polyester with elastane, a medium stretch, a slim fit and a pullover closure. Bandage knits hold you in, so choose by your bust and hip measurements rather than sizing down. The photos show it falling around the calf, while the supplier lists it as ankle-length; we suggest planning for a midi.

Beaded Fringe Dress FAQ

How do I care for a beaded fringe dress?

The supplier says dry clean only, do not fold or press it, and do not hang it on a hanger, since the weight of the beads can pull the fabric. Store it flat in a drawer or box.

Is this a true flapper dress?

Not in cut: 1920s flapper dresses were loose and straight, while this one is a fitted bodycon. It shares the fringe and beading people link with the decade, which is why it suits Roaring Twenties parties.

Can I dance in it?

Yes. The stretch helps and the fringe swings as you move, though a fitted midi limits very wide steps such as a full Charleston kick.
