Flapper Dresses for Fancy Dress Parties
Flapper dresses are a fantastic choice for a fancy dress party. Why not choose to host a 1920s themed bash, complete with cocktails and swinging jazz music.
The 1920s conjures up an image of cool sophistication and this would be a great idea for a party with a difference. Ladies could wear the wonderfully flattering dropped waist dresses, decorated with beading and fringing that looks great when you are doing the Charleston. It is really easy to make a ribbon headband with a feather attached. Don’t forget the string of pearls around your neck and maybe a cigarette holder (just don’t light the cigarette – it looks cool but we now know different eh?).
Gentleman will look cool in the loose fitting suits of the era. Add a boater hat and you can’t fail to look dashing and debonair. Just thinking about it makes me swoon. Men really did look good during that era. Everyone took the time to get dressed up to the nines. They really took pride in their appearance. Oh to be young and single during the roaring 20s.
If you are looking for examples of 1920s cool, then just think of the film Chicago, starring Renee Zellwegger, Catherine Zeta Jones and Richard Gere. Both ladies sported the short bob hair style of the time and the make-up was perfect, especially the bright red lipstick.
So get those cocktail glassed filled with champagne, put on some Cole Porter music and get swinging.
