Flapper dress costumes for all occasions have been enjoyed at 20s costume parties and theatre productions ever since the end of the 1920’s era. Liberated women all over the country enjoyed their mission of living life to the fullest while they could and many still do.

We are offering a couple of twenties’ flapper costume outfits that we think you will like buying for your next party. It’s fun to recreate a slice of time in which dancing and ignoring Prohibition was a test of stamina and ingenuity. By 1928, women began entering the workplace in larger numbers after women’s suffrage was voted in. And they bought the new fashion in droves. Look below for a couple of perfect costumes for teen, toddler and infant girls as well as sexy adult women in sizes ranging from extra small to extra large and plus sizes.

Flapper Adult Costume Outfit
Available in Adult Sizes, S, M, L and X-L

A sparkly yet subtle gold finish on this red Flapper Adult Costume outfit, with fringed shoulder straps and cut-outs on the shoulder, highlights a fun dress to wear at costume parties featuring a retro look at the 1920’s. The detailed laser-cut sheer two-toned lace panel in the center of the bodice adds some flair as does the gold buckle on a row of fringe strategically placed on the hips.

A jeweled feather headpiece covered with sequins fits snugly around the forehead and a long fake pearl necklace enhances the dress. You will need to buy the black and red feather boa separately online as well as fishnet tights and a twenties’ style wig. However, you can wear your own sexy black high healed shoes. Have your significant other wear a gangster suit and the two of you will reap many compliments throughout the night. The extra large size can accommodate our plus-size adults and girls, since your children are going to want this Gatsby Girl type clothing as well.

Flapper Teen Outfit Costume
Available in One Size to fit Teens up to Adult size 9

Your girl is going to love wearing this eye-popping colorful Flapper Teen Outfit costume for Halloween or at parties requiring outfits from the 1920s. Mom can wear it as well. Flappers from the 20s loved dresses that captured their youth, enthusiasm and energy.

The fabric design on this figure-hugging outfit includes a pattern that features a mixture of colors like neon green, turquoise and black. A headpiece is included which has a neon green feather and a matching boa adds to the flirty look. This costume is quite comfortable while the wearer dances the night away, moving those hips so that the long black fringe at the hemline flares out around her body.

It’s easy to purchase fishnet hose and 1920’s styled shoes online and while you are at it, why not a Twenties handbag. They’re exceptionally low-priced right now. The kids love dressing up in clothes from the Roaring Twenties and this costume will appeal to all ages, including the woman of the house.

In case you weren’t aware, youth ruled everything in the 1920’s, from the styles of clothing fads to emulating the latest celebrities. Women loved to dance to jazz music in their colorful flapper clothes and high heeled shoes as did their beaus wearing their tailored zoot suits. Bessie Smith and Duke Ellington were among the favorites. The Charleston dance wasn’t far behind.

The favorite and most famous sandwich of a big and little kid was peanut butter and jelly and the number one book on the bestseller list was Emily Post’s book on Manners – required reading for every child at the time. The 1920’s was also remembered for its breakthroughs in science and medicine. How many of us are still around to tell our children about the 20’s due to the use of insulin and penicillin. You can also tell your child that 3-D movies were actually invented during the 20’s, not 2009. Have fun remembering and recreating that era for your upcoming costume parties.
