Adult Flapper Costumes
The 1920s were a time of optimism in the world at large. The Great War (what we now call World War I) brought many social changes, and those who survived it, with or without injury, felt life was short and should be lived to the fullest. Meanwhile, the prevailing musical style of the period, jazz, set a new tone for the era's vibrance.
Dominant fashion designer Gabrielle "Coco" Chanel created the "boyish" flat silhouette, and flappers, a 1926 phenomenon, embraced the style with abandon! The shortest skirts hit just above the kneecap and are positively demure by 21st-century standards but were scandalous for the time. However, the loose-fitting style and short hemlines brought new enthusiasm to dance and nightlife! Our adult flapper costumes bring that Jazz Age energy back to life!
From Halloween to New Year, the fringe and sequins of flapper styles shine! And whether you want to look like you've just stepped out of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel or lively speakeasy, the flapper dresses available in our selection are your ticket! Before practicing the Charleston and Lindy Hop, get ready for a night on the town, and shop with us for your perfect flapper look.
Looking for a flapper costume dress that refuses all sense of demureness? We suggest picking a sleeveless style covered in fringe and with a hemline that falls above the knee. Not only do you enjoy the most shocking look of the 1920s trend, but every move feels like a bit of theater as the long fringe layers swing and sway.
Shop two-toned options like our Fringed Gold or Shimmer Flapper for tons of glitz and glam. Or try a vibrant color—red, hot pink, purple, emerald, even turquoise—that might not be historically accurate but definitely matches the Jazz Age spirit!
Looking for something that skips scandalous for socialite? We've got options for that as well. Our Charleston Flapper Costume offers a longer hemline, revealing just the ankle, wider shoulder straps, and a positively luxurious-looking faux fur shrug. Paired with strands of costume or natural pearls and a polished hairstyle, this jazzy look is unbeatable.
Meanwhile, our ivory-colored socialite costume gown makes the more modest style perfect for a Great Gatsby-inspired celebration. Just don't forget your kitten heels, elbow-length gloves, and pantyhose to polish the ensemble perfectly.
Didn't find a dress to bring your flapper dreams together? This timeless style isn't going anywhere, and neither are our goals to give everyone the best costume experience! So, check with us again to see what new and thrilling styles we have available for your next roaring good time!
