Flapper Costume
A flapper costume typically captures the spirit of the 1920s, particularly the fashion and style associated with the “flapper” subculture of that era. The centerpiece of this flapper costume is a sleeveless, knee-length or shorter dress with a loose, straight silhouette. This dress features fringe, beading, or sequins for embellishment, creating movement and adding a touch of glamour. The neckline might be low-cut or adorned with beads or other decorative elements. Long, layered strands of beads or pearls were a hallmark of flapper style. Costume jewelry such as long pearl necklaces, bracelets, and dangling earrings can complement the outfit and add to the overall sophistication. Flapper costumes are often paired with shoes that reflect the style of the 1920s, such as Mary Jane pumps or T-strap heels. These shoes are typically low-heeled and comfortable for dancing, reflecting the active lifestyle associated with flappers. Other accessories might include a cigarette holder (often fake, as smoking accessories are less common now), a small clutch purse, and a feather boa for added flair.
