31 Fringe Dresses You Can Wear for Halloween and Beyond
I’d long assumed fringe dresses were easy to come by. Flapper costumes seem like one of the lowest-maintenance around—both because they require two pieces, max, and because fringe clothing is chic enough to wear long after Halloween has reared its celebratory head.
And yet. When one of my friends went to buy a genuinely cute fringe dress last month, she couldn’t find one. Everything skewed too costumey (either too ballroom or too on-the-nose flapper), and nothing seemed actually wearable.
