The 1920s were a great time for fashion: women wearing short dresses and skirts with threads and buttons, short hair in elegant perfumes could be seen sparking pleasure in popular talkies. It was a time when emancipation had prepared new forms of emancipation for women, which included the right to vote. Constricted whalebone corsets and round-shaped matrons have dropped the look from , and loose shirts with short fringes and fashion for a boyish look . These modern women, who were seen as daring because of their freedom, excessive makeup, drinking and smoking, were called flappers.
Making the perfect 1920s flapper dress requires not only the right combination of elements to capture that exciting style, but also wearing the right attitude with it. In the vanguard were female flappers, wildly flouting the rules of the elders, engaging in completely “indecent” behavior and having the time of their lives.
There are several rules to keep in mind when making your own flapper dress. The head of your dress will be your dress. The flapper style accentuated the boyish body shape with flat chests and straight hips, so shapeless and dropped low dressing I dare you to wear the most genuine clothes. Leaving arms and shoulders bare is also required for that “discipline of society display” look. Colors, shapes, neutrals of the time dictated, such as gray, cream, sand and navy. This age was also the origin of the LBD (the little black dress), invented by Coco Chanel.
The right makeup and accessories will make your 1920s outfit stand out in the crowd. As before, short hair in bobs or crops is the most reliable time hairstyle. Women wore their hair in fingerwaves, or in a cloche. If you are wearing a hat, make sure it is tight fitting and well pulled over the eyes to cover the forehead. This was the style of the time and it will also give an authentic air to your pose as you will have to hold your head at a certain angle to see something.
