Design Details and Benefits
- Fringe appears twice - at the bust and again below the hip - breaks the dress into two fringe moments instead of one long column
- Open-knit crochet panel at the hip - gives the eye a pause between the two fringe sections
Splitting the fringe into two sections is what keeps this dress from reading as one flat column of movement. A lot of fringe dresses run the fringe the entire length in one piece, so the eye takes in the whole thing at once. Breaking it with a fitted open-knit panel at the hip means the bust fringe and the skirt fringe each get their own moment. Worth knowing before you order: the bust is covered by fringe rather than a solid panel, so this leans towards a going-out dress with visible movement rather than a fully opaque one.
