Design Details and Benefits
- Fringe covers the sleeves as well as the skirt - keeps the movement consistent through the whole silhouette, not just below the waist
- Cutout sits precisely at the natural waist - breaks up the fitted bodice and the fringe skirt into two distinct sections
The waist cutout is what stops this from reading as one long fringe column. A lot of fringe dresses run the fringe from the shoulder straight down, so the whole silhouette moves the same way from top to bottom. Breaking it with a fitted bodice and a defined waist cutout first means the fringe skirt gets to be its own moment, not just a continuation of the top. Worth knowing before you order: the fringe is dense but still lets some skin show through at the waist and through the skirt in movement, so this reads as a going-out dress rather than a fully opaque one.
