The Great Gatsby novel was a big hit when it was published in the twenties and this sexy Gatsby Flapper Girl Outfit costume comes right out of that time frame. Your preteen and teenagers will want to wear this outfit the minute they see it.

The dress is made out of a light weight fabric covered with silver sequins on the front and plain on the back. A big splash of long fringe on the uneven hem will swing and sway as the wearer dances the Shimmy or the Charleston – flirty and provocative dances for the times.

Fingerless long white gloves add even more glamour as does the sequined headband.

Charleston Flapper Adult Costume Outfit

The most recognizable flapper dresses from the 1920’s are those that stop at or just above the knees and have lots of fringe. This Charleston Flapper Adult Costume outfit is perfect. Here is a black satin dress among dresses that molds to your body and literally drips with fringe to turn you into a sexy vixen of the era. Well made, there is an overlay of lace accents, an attached belt that rests on your hips and faux rhinestone buckles on the wide shoulder straps.

This dress need a long black feather boa to toss around your shoulders, a jeweled black feathered headpiece, which is the most important part of the costume, black fishnet stockings and a long strand or two or pearls, all of which are included. Wear your own sexy high heeled shoes and perhaps buy a wig. It’s hard to pull off being a flapper without the proper hairstyle which is either a short bob or a finger wave tucked into a bun on the back of you head. These types of costumes will never go out of style because we don’t want to let go of the twenties or the stories about them. They were much too interesting and fun. Both adults and children love to wear these outfits. You can bet that the kids would like to have some of those guns to play cops and robbers with and your older girls would love wearing costumes of the flappers.

Although prohibition of alcohol was introduced in 1919, the roaring twenties was a great era for dressing up to go to the local speakeasy or home parties where bootleggers furnished the liquor. Flappers were very popular in the 20’s and were stereotyped by the sexy short outfits, bobbed hair and too much makeup. Many a woman and those of the younger generation, especially a teen girl, loved the glamour of movie stars and sports idols along with foul language, smoking and selfish behavior. They changed American history with the clothes, music, advertising, and their conduct.

Jazz came of age and the Charleston was as prominent as the clothing in the 20s. Although fashion and taste in music changed in the thirties, it’s still fun for a woman to dress as a flapper when the occasion arises. We don’t hear the Charleston much any more, but jazz is still with us. You can easily buy CDs online for your dancing and listening pleasure and definitely for your Halloween or Mardi Gras party. The kids will sneak out of bed to watch and listen if the party is held at home. Your child can learn this dance as well and it is great exercise.
