Flapper Skirt

This flapper skirt is a short yellow skirt built from tiers of fringe that sway and flick whenever you turn, kick or step into a Charleston. The elastic waist pulls on easily and stays put while you dance, and sizes go from S all the way to 5XL. Pair it with a fitted top for the movement of a fringe dress with more freedom to mix and match.

How the Fringe Skirt Moves on the Dance Floor

Each tier of fringe hangs over the next, so the skirt looks full when you stand still and turns into a swirl of colour as soon as you move. It was designed as a dance skirt, which makes it practical for swing classes, a recital or a themed performance where you need to lift your knees. The fabric is elastane, so it moves with you on the dance floor.

Building a 1920s Outfit Around a Yellow Skirt

Yellow is cheerful rather than formal, so it shines at a daytime Gatsby picnic, a birthday party or a costume night. Tuck in a black camisole or a sequin top, add a black feather headband and T-strap heels, and the look reads clearly as the Roaring Twenties. For one-piece looks, see our flapper dresses.

Flapper Skirt FAQ

What is a flapper dress, and how is this skirt different?

A flapper dress is the loose, knee-grazing 1920s style, often trimmed with fringe, beads or sequins and worn for dancing. This skirt gives you the fringe part of that look as a separate piece, so you choose the top yourself.

How long is the skirt?

It is a mini. The photos show how it sits on the model, a good guide to where the hem will fall on you.

Can I wear it for a performance?

Yes, it was made for dance training and stage use, so it handles spins and kicks well.
