flapper dress

Jazz-age garment

A flapper dress is a style of women's clothing from the 1920s, typically featuring a straight, loose silhouette, a dropped waistline at the hips, and a hemline at or above the knee.

The design allowed for the energetic dancing of the Jazz Age and represented a break from restrictive Victorian fashion: She wore a beaded flapper dress to the Gatsby party.
