Summer Fringe Dress

This summer fringe dress is a long, body-skimming gown: a deep V halter neckline, an open back and rows of open-knit fringe that fall all the way to the floor. The color shifts as it goes down, orange fading toward white and blue, or rose red moving into purple, which catches the eye at a beach party or a rooftop birthday.

Where a Long Fringe Dress Fits In

Think warm evenings: a beach club dinner, a destination birthday, a summer festival night or a resort party with a dress code. The dress is not a 1920s cut, since flapper dresses were short and straight while this one is fitted and floor length. It still shares the fringe that makes a fringe flapper dress swing when you dance, so it works for a Gatsby beach party where guests reinterpret the theme.

Sizing the Orange or Rose Red Fringe Dress

Sizes run S to XL, with a slight stretch according to the supplier. Because the cut is fitted, measure your hips as well as your bust, compare both with the size chart on this page and choose the size that suits the larger number. A strapless or adhesive bra is the practical choice under a halter neck and open back.

Long Fringe Dress FAQ

Is the fringe see-through?

The fringe is worked in an open knit, so some skin shows between the strands. Wear nude or matching underwear, or a slip, if you prefer more coverage.

What shoes go with a floor-length fringe dress?

Flat or wedge sandals on sand, strappy heels for a terrace or a club. Gold-tone or nude straps keep the gradient as the focus.

What jewelry suits the deep V?

Keep it light: hoop earrings, a stack of bangles and a clutch in one of the gradient tones. A heavy necklace would fight with the neckline.
