Gatsby Glamour Dress

Our Gatsby Glamour Dress is the long version of the 1920s look, a floor-length gown where black sequin and bead embroidery traces Art Deco motifs over a red lining. The V neckline and short sheer flutter sleeves keep it graceful, and the straight column cut opens slightly at the hem so you can walk and dance without hitching it up. It measures about 57 to 59 in (145 to 150 cm), ankle or floor length depending on your height.

How to Dress for a Gatsby Party in a Long Red Dress

At an evening Gatsby party or a formal 1920s-themed wedding, a full-length gown looks more considered than a short fringe dress. Long black gloves, a faux pearl rope and a feathered headband complete the outfit; they are styling ideas and do not come with the dress. More floor-length and short options are in our great gatsby dresses.

Sizing the Red and Black Gatsby Dress

The chart runs from XS with a 31.5 in (80 cm) bust to XXL at 41 in (104 cm), so this dress suits small to medium frames rather than plus sizes. Compare your bust and waist with the chart on this page; if you sit between two sizes, choose by bust, as embroidered mesh has only slight give.

Gatsby Glamour Dress FAQ

Is the dress see-through?

The mesh is embroidered over a solid lining, so the body is covered. Only the short flutter sleeves are sheer.

Can I wear it to a black-tie wedding?

Yes. A floor-length gown with sleeves fits black-tie codes, and red and black never competes with a bride in white.

What hairstyle goes with this gown?

Faux bob pin-ups, finger waves or a sleek low chignon with a jeweled band all suit the neckline.
