Author, F. Scott Fitzgerald, described the ideal flapper as “lovely, expensive and about nineteen.” She was without doubt, a new woman who smoked, drank, voted, danced in public, cut her hair, wore makeup and went to late night parties where many things happened (involving all of the afore-mentioned and more). Flappers had their own language and fashion and the sequined, glitzy dresses of the day were as tight fitting, revealing and suggestive as the law would allow. In this regard, in some circles at least, little has changed down through the years.
For the next theme party, consider wearing the fetching black and gold Putting on the Ritz flapper costume. Its name comes from that old Fred Astaire song of the same name, and no doubt he would have been proud to dance with the likes of any woman wearing this plunging black V-neck top and alluring, gathered gold skirt. If you are more into sequins and shorter skirts. For this look, consider the sexy, silvery sequined flapper costume with pink boa and cigarette holder. If you are one of those who desires to hide a bit more than you show but still want the flounce and flair of this unique historical period, consider the purple Charleston Queen flapper costume equipped with boa and head feather to dazzle your friends.
To this day the flapper woman is regarded as sexy, riskay and flirty. Women have come a long way since the days of the flapper. Armed with the power to make choices, it would seem inevitable that some of them might be bad ones. It has taken powerful women like the flappers 90 years to get where they are today.
The sequins, glitter and flair of these beautiful costumes mirror a unique period in time that can be recaptured in an instant by just slipping into them. You can be the cat’s meow as you boldly Jitter Bug through the night at your next costume gathering. Dare to go back into time and have some fun and don’t worry, you don’t have to stay there. You will have to step back in time and head to work the next day. But why not have a little old time fun when you can?The author commonly writes about fashion trends and fashion tips for SummitFashions.
