Sexy Flapper Costume

This sexy flapper costume is short, flirty and made to move: a tassel fringe dress on thin spaghetti straps, with a scoop neck and a hem above the knee, offered on this page in gray or black. The tassels do the flirting, swinging with every step and spin. You will find more themed looks in our flapper costumes.

Gray or Black for Your Flapper Costume

Black is the safe bet for a night out, the color that every feather, glove and necklace already matches. Gray is the less expected pick: softer, a little moody, and lovely with silver-tone jewelry and blush or lilac feathers. Both shades hold up well under dim bar lighting, so choose by the accessories you already own.

Turning the Fringe Dress Into a Full Costume

You receive the dress, and the costume comes together with what you add. A sequin headband with one feather, long satin gloves and a long faux pearl necklace give the classic flapper outline. Dark lipstick and a finger-wave or bob wig finish it for a Halloween or Gatsby party. Keep shoes low and strapped if you plan to do the Charleston.

Flapper Costume FAQ

How long is the dress?

It stops above the knee, about 77 to 82 cm (30 to 32 in) from shoulder to hem depending on the size, so the fringe flicks with every step.

Is it too revealing for an office party?

It is a short, strappy party dress, so for an office event we suggest a sheer black wrap or a cropped cardigan over the shoulders.

Can I make it into a DIY costume?

Yes, that is the easiest route: start from the fringe dress and add a headband, gloves and beads you may already have at home, with no sewing needed.
