1920s Dresses

1920s Dresses for Women

Women's fashion changed fast in the 1920s. Corsets gave way to loose, straight dresses, hemlines rose toward the knee by the middle of the decade, and arms were often left bare for dancing. Day dresses were simple, while evening dresses were covered in beads, sequins and fringe that shimmered under electric light.

The dresses in this collection follow that evening style. Most are straight or softly A-line, use a light polyester base, and come in sizes from XS or S up to XXXL or 4XL.

Roaring 20s Dress Attire for Parties

For a Roaring 20s party, a sequin or fringe dress is the centerpiece. Add a headband, long gloves and a long necklace, and the outfit reads as 1920s from across the room. Fringe dresses are best for dancing; beaded styles look more formal; sets with accessories make dressing quick.

1920s Flapper Dresses and Other 20s Dresses

Flapper dresses are the most famous 1920s dresses, but not the only ones. Evening gowns of the period could be longer and more structured, tea dresses were lighter and often floral, and bridal dresses mixed lace with beading. In this collection you will find mostly party and evening styles, because that is where the decade's sparkle lives: flapper dresses with fringe or sequins, beaded gowns, and sleeved dresses for more formal events.

1920s Evening Dress Elegance

Evening dresses of the decade were often longer and more heavily decorated. Mid-calf and floor-length styles, mermaid gowns and sleeved dresses suit galas, weddings and formal dinners. Choose closed-toe heels and drop earrings to match the more formal mood.

20s Dress Party Planning

Planning a 20s dress party for a group? Agree on a palette rather than a single style, so everyone can pick a dress they love while photos still look coordinated. Black, gold and silver are easy for most guests; jewel tones add variety. Remember that delivery takes 10 to 20 business days, so order a few weeks before the event.

1920s Formal Gown Choices

For black-tie events, look for a dress with dense beadwork, a longer hem or sleeves. Black, navy, champagne and wine red are refined colors that still carry the period sparkle.

20s Bridal Dress Inspiration

Brides who love the era often choose ivory or white beaded styles, champagne sequins or a white fringe dress for the reception. Pair them with a birdcage veil, faux pearls and satin gloves for a complete vintage bridal look.

Prom Dresses 20s Style

A 1920s-themed prom is a chance to wear sparkle with a story. Midi sequin dresses, beaded gowns and fringe dresses in jewel tones all work; keep accessories light and let the dress shine.
