Hermine Ducasse | Sparkly Sequin Fringe Hem V Neck Wrap Long Sleeve Mini Dress

Fringe has exactly one job and it does it the moment you move. Stand still and this reads as a sharp sequin wrap dress. Take three steps and the entire lower half starts moving independently of you.

It is really two dresses joined at the waist. Above the seam, a sequinned wrap bodice crosses deep into a V, with long fitted sleeves and a gathered seam pulling everything in at the narrowest point. Below it, tiered rows of fringe fall in overlapping layers to just above the knee - not a single fringed edge at the hem, but bands of it stacked from the waist down, which is where the skirt gets both its weight and its swing.

Across four shades it moves between two eras. The deep tones read close to the 1920s it borrows from; the brighter ones drag it firmly into now. Either way, it is not a dress for sitting at the edge of the room.

Details You'll Love

• Tiered fringe skirt - overlapping rows running from the waist down rather than a single fringed hem, which is what gives it real swing.
• Sequinned wrap bodice - crosses deep into a V and gathers at the waist, shaping the top half without a zip or a boned panel.
• Long fitted sleeves - keep the arms covered and smooth, so the fringe stays the only thing in motion.
• Gathered waist seam - draws in at the narrowest point, marking the line between the sleek top and the moving skirt.
• Above-the-knee length - short enough that the fringe clears your legs as you walk instead of tangling around them.
