Black Flapper Outfit

Build a black flapper outfit around this straight V-neck dress, embroidered with beads and sequins and finished with fringe at the knee. It is the black version of one of the core styles in our flapper dresses.

Embroidered Black Dress

The supplier lists embroidery: beads and sequins stitched in patterns over the black base. The decoration catches light subtly, more elegant than flat black fabric.

Straight Vintage Cut

A straight silhouette from shoulder to hem, without a waist seam, is the period-correct flapper shape. It is comfortable and flattering on many figures.

Completing the Outfit

Add a black or silver headband, a long faux pearl strand, black seamed stockings and Mary Jane heels. A white or black feather boa adds glamour for photos.

Sizes

S to XXXL. Measure your bust and choose the size that matches; the hips have room.

Occasions

Gatsby parties, New Year's Eve, jazz nights and themed weddings. Black also works for formal dinners where a bright color would be too much.

Black for Every Body Type

An all-black embroidered dress is one of the most flattering choices in the collection, because the dark base slims and the beading adds light where it falls. It also photographs well in mixed lighting, avoiding the color shifts that bright fabrics sometimes show in party photos.
