Why Choose a Beaded Flapper Dress
Beading gives a dress structure and a slow, elegant swing. In the 1920s, beadwork was arranged in Art Deco motifs such as fans, sunbursts and peacock feathers, and the same patterns appear on many of these dresses. Beaded styles suit formal events, galas and weddings, where a fringe-only dress can feel too playful.
Because beads add weight, store these dresses folded flat in tissue paper rather than on a hanger, which can stretch the shoulders over time.
Beaded Flapper Dress Colors
Black beaded dresses are classic and easy to accessorize; gold and silver bring maximum sparkle; red, green and blue are bold and festive. Choose jewelry that matches the bead color for a coordinated look.
