Speakeasy Fringe Dress

Our speakeasy fringe dress is black with silver sequins, the color pairing that looks right under the dim bulbs of a hidden bar. The cut is a straight 1920s shift with a V neckline and short sleeves of sheer sequined mesh, and the silver sequins spread across the front in Art Deco sunbursts before ending in a fringed hem with a side slit.

Wearing the Fringe Dress to a Speakeasy Night

Black and silver is cool and graphic, so we keep the rest of the outfit in the same register: silver-tone or crystal jewelry, a black headband with a single feather, black T-strap heels and a dark lipstick. The side slit gives your stride room, and the fringe catches every turn of a foxtrot. For a cocktail party, a jazz night or a casino-themed birthday, it is the dress we reach for when a gold dress feels too warm.

Length and Fit of This Black Fringe Dress

It falls below the knee, at about 45 to 47 inches (115 to 119 cm) depending on size. The chart lists flat widths, so double them: the bust runs from about 32 in (82 cm) in S to 40 in (101 cm) in XXL. Find more silhouettes in our 1920s dresses.

Black and Silver Fringe Dress FAQ

What goes over it on a cold night?

A black faux fur stole or a long velvet wrap keeps the period look; a cropped modern jacket breaks the straight line.

Which size should I order?

Measure your bust and hips, then compare them with the doubled figures on the size chart. If your hips are the larger number, go by them: the shift shape hangs straight and needs room there.

Can I wear it as a wedding guest?

Yes, at an evening reception or a Gatsby-themed wedding. The silver sequins keep black festive. The gloves and long necklace in the photos are not included.
