Flapper fancy dress has become really popular at Halloween parties in the last few years. It is not really surprising considering that the period when this 1920's dress was first worn was a time of fashion, fun and frivolity.
The word flapper originated in the twenties to describe those young ladies who ignored the social and sexual norms of the day. The flappers wore their skirts too short, bobbed their hair, danced to the new fad called jazz music, wore excessive makeup, smoked, drove cars and even treated sex in a casual manner. These were the original girls just wanting to have fun!
Today, just like back then, girls want to go to that party and dance the night away. However, if you do go to the Halloween party in flapper fancy dress, it is vitally important that you look the part.
The Flapper's 1920's Dress
Of course, the most important part of the flapper's costume is the dress itself. If you are very lucky you may find an original one lying about in an antique store, but the chances are if you do it will be extremely expensive. Far better is to go to a dedicated online fancy dress store and purchase one there. You will be surprised how inexpensive the budget costumes cost.
Feather Boa
You want to get a feather boa measuring approximately 8ft in length, again this is not an expensive item. Obviously choose a color that matches your dress.
1920s style wig
The bobbed hair style is very much part of the flapper fancy dress outfit. So to look totally authentic we recommend that you get one. If you are brunette, why not go to the party as a blonde and see if they really do have more fun.
Long Pearl Necklace
Obviously, fake pearls will suffice and the online fancy dress shop will have ones to go with your 1920's dress for next to nothing.
Cigarette Holder
Probably the accessory most associated with 1920's fancy dress is the cigarette holder. If you don't get anything else, at least make sure that you get one of these.
Where can you get these Flapper Fancy Dress Accessories?
Please remember it is important to make sure that your fancy dress supplier has the costume(s) that you want in stock and is able to supply them in plenty of time for the party!
At 1920's Fancy Dress, if it says your order is in stock then you can rest assured that it is. Go there now and choose a great Flapper Fancy Dress outfit for your party: an authentic looking 1920's dress and those all important accessories.
