Why The Flapper Dress Costume Is A Great Choice
Posted in Party on August 3rd, 2010 by Jim – Comments OffFinding the perfect costume can sometimes bit a frustrating experience. Many people want a really fun and sexy outfit that not only looks great but also represents something or someone important. One increasingly popular choice is a breath taking flapper girl costume.
The roaring twenties was such an amazing decade in America’s history. The harsh reality of the First World War was beginning to fade somewhat and people were trying to figure out a way to resume what was left of their lives. Men returned home only to realize that many women had changed while they were gone.
No longer were all women comfortable with the roles they had previously accepted. While fending for themselves and their families during the war, women began to develop a sense of independence that was not there before. Some young women, known as flapper girls, refused to conform to societal norms and helped changed the course of America in the process.
Your typical flapper dress costume consisted of a black or red flapper dress that was both short and revealing. Most of these cute mini dresses were elaborately accented with hundreds, if not thousands, of sparkling sequins. Perhaps the most classic characteristic of flapper style dresses was the layers and layers of free flowing fringe that bordered the hemline of the dress.
Wearing a flapper dress at your next Halloween party is an easy way to ensure you receive a bunch of positive comments. These square, shapeless outfits look absolutely beautiful on females of all shapes and sizes, including the more voluptuous women. You can add a few inexpensive costume accessories such as a feathered boa and a beaded necklace to further enhance these 1920s inspired costumes.
Take a few steps back into the past this year and have a blast wearing an ultra sexy, totally unique flapper dress costume!
