What's in the Box

Black sequin dress with art deco pattern, sleeveless V-neck bodice, chevron fringe hem, back zipper

This Womens 1920s Flapper Costume brings Prohibition-era glamour with a black sequin dress that catches the light in iridescent blue-purple tones. The bodice features geometric art deco lines radiating from centre, while the hem drips with 6-8 inches of beaded fringe that swings with every Charleston step.

The sequin work is dense and directional, creating that authentic 1920s speakeasy vibe. Sheer mesh panels at the chevron hemline add movement without exposing — the fringe is heavy enough to stay put when you're dancing. Sleeveless V-neckline (front and back) flatters most body types, and the knee-length cut hits that classic flapper silhouette.

Perfect For

Gatsby Themed Parties: The go-to for any Roaring Twenties event, murder mystery dinners set in the Jazz Age, or Great Gatsby costume parties where authenticity matters.

New Year's Eve & Vintage Events: Black sequins work for sophisticated NYE parties, vintage dance nights, or theatrical productions needing period-accurate Charleston costumes.

1920s Costume Parties: Halloween speakeasy nights, retro pub crawls, or any occasion where you want the full flapper effect without hiring from a costume shop.

How to Wear It

Pair with black pointed-toe heels and a long pearl necklace (triple-strand looks most authentic). Finger-wave your hair or pin on a feathered headband for the full effect. Skip modern jewellery — stick with vintage-inspired pieces.

Parent FAQs

Q: What size should I order?

A: Check the size chart against your bust and hip measurements — the bodice is fitted through the torso, so if you're between sizes we'd suggest sizing up for comfort. The fringe hem adds forgiving movement at the hips.

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

A: The sequin quality and art deco detailing make it formal enough for vintage-themed weddings, NYE galas, or upscale 1920s events. It reads costume at a standard party but elevated at a themed occasion.

Q: How do I care for the sequins and fringe?

A: Dry clean only — the beaded fringe and sequin work won't survive a washing machine. Hang it to avoid crushing the fringe between wears.

Q: Will the sheer panels at the hem show too much?

A: The mesh is backed by the fringe layer, so it's not see-through when you're standing. The chevron pattern is more about texture than transparency — you're covered.

Care: Dry clean only; hang to store.
