flapper dresses
Roaring Twenties attire
Flapper dresses are the drop-waisted, knee-length dresses associated with young women of the 1920s.
The loose, straight silhouette allowed for dancing the Charleston and rejected the corseted shapes of earlier decades.
Typical features include fringe, beading, and sleeveless or short-sleeved cuts.
The style remains popular for themed parties and period costumes: She found a vintage flapper dress for the Gatsby party.
