Sylvine Suede Midi Dress for Concerts, Zip-Front Fringe

Sylvine takes the same seventies suede idea and makes it practical. A full-length zip runs down the front, so the dress opens as far as you want it to and the neckline is yours to set. Fringe detailing catches the movement as you walk, and the midi hem keeps the whole thing wearable rather than costume. It is soft to the touch and holds a clean line without needing a belt.

Four colourways change its character completely. Brown is the classic western read. Dark grey pulls it towards something more urban and evening-leaning. Pink and blue are the unexpected ones and look best against plain accessories. Ankle boots and a crossbody bag are the easiest pairing. In colder months, tights and a shearling jacket work without fighting the texture of the suede.

Sizes run S through XL with a close but not restrictive fit. Faux suede has almost no stretch, so the size you pick determines the fit far more than it would on a jersey dress, and it is worth measuring rather than guessing. Check the chart below for approximate body measurements and take the larger size if you are between two through the hip.
