Ladies sequin tassel flapper dress with zipper at back, long fringe hem
Headband
Bracelet
Ring

This Womens 1920s Flapper Dress brings the Roaring Twenties straight to your next costume party, with full-body black sequins arranged in diagonal art deco lines and a multi-tiered fringe hem that moves with every Charleston step. The sheer geometric mesh yoke and cap sleeves add authentic speakeasy elegance, while the knee-length cut keeps the silhouette period-perfect.

Sequins cover every inch of the bodice in overlapping diagonal rows — the kind of craftsmanship that catches light from across the room. The fringe (three or four graduated layers depending on movement) is weighted and secured to swing properly when you dance. Back zipper closure makes getting dressed straightforward, and the mesh back panel keeps you comfortable through a full evening.

Perfect For

Great Gatsby Parties & 1920s Themed Events: The obvious choice for Gatsby costume parties, Roaring Twenties balls, speakeasy nights, or any Jazz Age celebration where you want to look the part.

New Year's Eve & Formal Costume Events: Works beautifully for upscale costume parties, murder mystery dinners set in the 1920s, Charleston dance nights, or any black-tie event with a vintage twist.

Convention Cosplay & Themed Photoshoots: Perfect for period costume meetups, vintage fashion events, or retro-themed photoshoots where authenticity matters.

How to Wear It

Pair with T-strap heels or black Mary Janes, a long strand of pearls, and a feathered or jeweled headband with art deco detailing. Finger wave your hair or pin it into a low vintage bun — the 1920s silhouette is all about the drop waist and the accessories. Skip modern jewellery; stick with pearls, crystal, and deco lines.

Customer FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

Check the size chart for bust, waist, and hip measurements. The dress has a straight 1920s silhouette (drop waist, no cinching), so it's less forgiving than stretch fabrics. If you're between sizes, size up — the fringe will still sit at knee-length and you'll be more comfortable all evening.

Q: Can I wear this to a formal event, or is it strictly a costume?

It's designed as a costume, but the construction and sequin quality are formal-event level. You could absolutely wear this to a New Year's party, a vintage-themed wedding, or an upscale Gatsby gala. The look reads as elegant period dress, not novelty costume.

Q: How do I wash this? The sequins look delicate.

Hand wash cold or dry clean only. Turn inside out if hand washing, and never wring the fringe — roll it gently in a towel to remove excess water, then hang to air dry. The sequins are sewn on, but rough handling or machine washing will damage them.

Q: Are the accessories (headband, bracelet) included?

No — the dress is the only item included. The headband, pearls, and bracelet shown in the photos are styling props to give you ideas, but you'll need to source those separately. Plenty of 1920s accessory sets available online if you want the full look.

Care: Hand wash cold or dry clean. Hang to dry, store flat.
