Beaded elastic headband with black feather
180cm faux pearl necklace
Silver cigarette holder prop

This Womens Black Flapper Costume brings Roaring Twenties glamour to any vintage event, with a sleeveless shift dress covered in layered tiers of swaying black fringe. The drop-waist silhouette and above-knee length are period-perfect 1920s, while marabou feather trim at the bodice and arms adds texture.

The black-on-black colour scheme reads sophisticated rather than costume-y — dense fringe catches light and moves with every step, Charleston-ready. Side zipper makes it quick to slip on. Headband sits snug with elastic backing, feather secured upright. Pearl strand is extra-long so you can knot it, wrap it twice, or let it swing.

Perfect For

Gatsby Parties & 1920s Themed Events: A natural fit for Great Gatsby costume parties, Prohibition speakeasy nights, or jazz age murder mystery dinners where the dress code is Roaring Twenties.

Halloween & Costume Parties: Works for Halloween events with a vintage twist, New Year's Eve Gatsby celebrations, or Chicago musical tribute nights where the flapper look is the star.

Conventions & Cosplay: Ideal for vintage costume meetups, theatre dress rehearsals for 1920s-set productions, or historical costume displays where period accuracy matters.

How to Wear It

Pair with black T-strap heels or Mary Janes and finish with dark lipstick and finger-wave hair. Knot the pearl necklace loosely at chest height for authentic 1920s styling. Skip modern jewellery — stick with pearls and the feather headband.

FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart for bust and hip measurements. The dress has a relaxed drop-waist fit typical of 1920s silhouettes, so if you're between sizes, your bust measurement is the deciding factor.

Can I wear this over regular clothes or is it see-through?

The dress is opaque enough to wear with seamless underwear or a slip. The fringe layers provide coverage, though you'll want nude-tone undergarments since the dress sits above the knee.

How do I care for the fringe and feathers?

Spot-clean the dress with a damp cloth and hang to air-dry. Store the headband feather upright to prevent crushing. Don't machine wash — the fringe tangles easily.

Is this suitable for a 1920s murder mystery dinner?

Absolutely. The black flapper look fits speakeasy and Chicago-era mystery themes perfectly. The cigarette holder prop adds character authenticity for interactive events.

Care: Spot-clean dress, air-dry flat. Store feather upright.
