White Flapper Dresses

White Flapper Dress for a Wedding

For a bride with a 1920s theme, a white flapper dress can be the reception or rehearsal dinner outfit, or even the main dress for a small or courthouse wedding. Longer fringe and midi lengths look more formal; a white sequin midi dress gives a clean line that suits a veil or a beaded headband.

Guests should avoid white unless the couple asks for it, so this page is mainly for brides, bachelorette parties and all-white themed events.

White Fringe Flapper Dress Styles

The fringe styles range from a short mini to a long fringe dress, with wrap, halter, asymmetrical, tassel and lace versions. Fringe moves with every step, which makes these dresses a joy for a first dance, a Charleston lesson or a swing night. A wrap or halter neckline flatters a fuller bust, while a straighter, looser cut follows the 1920s silhouette more closely. For shorter styles in more colors, see our fringe mini dress page.

White Sequin Flapper Dress or Lace

Sequins catch the light and look festive at an evening event or a New Year's Eve party. Lace is softer and more romantic, and it photographs well outdoors. Some dresses on this page show white in the main photo, while others list white as one of several colors, so open the product and select white before adding it to your cart.

White Flapper Dress Wedding Accessories

Silver-tone jewelry, faux pearls and a white or ivory feather headband keep the look light and bridal. For contrast at a party, add long black gloves and black T-strap heels. For the ceremony itself, white gloves and white mary jane heels keep everything in one tone.

White Flapper Dress FAQ

Can I wear a white flapper dress to a wedding as a guest?

Only if the couple asks guests to wear white. Otherwise, choose another color, such as a silver sequin dress, champagne or a pastel.

Are white sequin dresses see-through?

It depends on the lining, so check the product description and photos. A nude slip under the dress solves most transparency concerns.

How do I keep a white dress clean at a party?

Carry a stain pen, keep red wine away from the dance floor and treat any mark as soon as you can.

Which size should I choose?

Compare your bust, waist and hip measurements with each size chart. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because sequin fabric gives very little.
