flapper History & Costumes

Straight out of the days of the "Lost Generation" of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemmingway, before the stock market crash of 1929, fashionable flappers modeled after It Girls like Clara Bow and Louise Brooks were all the rage. Charlestoning the night away with long-stemmed cigarette holders, crimson lips, and bobbed hair, flappers and Thoroughly Modern Millies of all types changed the beauty aesthetic for an entire generation.
Recreate those daring days with a fancy flapper costume, festooned with feathers, fringe, and flashy sequins. In a rainbow of colors, each with unique embellishments, there's a flapper costume to suit your own personal style. Each flapper costume comes with a short chemise-styled dress and a headdress. Add your own personal touches like a feather boa in a coordinating color; a short bobbed wig; a clutch purse; a string of knotted pearls, and a pair of rolled thigh-high stockings.
