A Flapper Dress is Living History

Costumes from many different eras are very popular, especially the ones that are easy for most people to recognize. Most people have seen picture and movies that were set many years ago, and 1920s costumes are a fantastic way to relive history.

A flapper dress can be a wonderful Halloween costume. The dress represents a time in history when women were not allowed to do many of the things that men could do. A woman who wore a flapper dress was asserting her independence. These flapper dresses were generally short and very sexy. Most of the dresses worn by flappers were created with layers of fabric and beaded fringe. Some of them were brightly colored, while others were accented with sequins. Flappers were known for balking the norms of society by doing things that only men did at that time, such as smoke and drink alcohol. There were also considered to be sexually promiscuous.

Flappers often wore a single strand of pearls that were very long, although some of them wore multiple strands of pearls. Flapper costumes require very simple accessories and most women only wore a single bracelet or ring along with their strand of pearls. Flappers usually wore their hair short, in a bob style that barely reached their chins. Most flappers had dark hair, so flapper wigs are usually dark bobs. In their hair, many flappers wore a band that matched their flapper dress and had a single feather sticking out of their band. Some of the hair bands were plain, while others were adorned with sequins. They wore pantyhose and high heeled shoes to add sex appeal to their flapper costumes.

Many flapper costumes are accessorized by a single cigarette, because smoking was one of the ways that these women asserted themselves. They also wore feather boas in bright colors as a fashion accessory. Flappers often wore large amounts of makeup. This was another way for them to be sexy and set themselves apart from women of the past. Flapper makeup usually consists of dark eye-shadow and bright red lipstick.
