Gatsby Look Dress

The Gatsby look dress is the base layer of a complete head-to-toe outfit: a green sleeveless dress covered in sequins and beads, ending in tassels that swing when you walk. Start here, then add the accessories that make the look read instantly at a themed party, from the headband down to the shoes.

Building a Complete Look Around the Green Dress

Go top to bottom. A sequin or feather headband worn low across the forehead, a long faux pearl strand knotted at the chest, black or champagne gloves to the elbow, and T-strap heels. Green pairs especially well with gold-tone metal, which keeps the whole outfit in an Art Deco palette. You will find more choices in our great gatsby dresses.

Details of This Sequin Dress Worth Knowing

The supplier lists polyester fabric with a silk-like lining, and describes the dress as light and wrinkle-resistant, so it holds up well when packed for an out-of-town party. Its listing mentions both a mini and a gown length, so check the length on the size chart. The size labels also need to be read against the chart.

Gatsby Look Dress FAQ

What is a Gatsby look?

It is the party style people link with the 1920s and the Gatsby novel: beaded or fringed dresses, bobbed hair, headbands, long necklaces and gloves.

Is green a good alternative to a gold dress at a Gatsby party?

Yes. Gold dresses are the classic choice, so green helps you stand apart while still fitting the theme, especially with gold-tone accessories.

Do I need every accessory?

No. A headband and a long necklace are enough for most themed parties. Gloves and a beaded bag are nice extras.
