The Flapper History

-The costume history image in our minds of a woman of the 'Roaring Twenties' is actually likely to be the image of a flapper. Flappers did not truly emerge until 1926. Flapper fashion embraced all things and styles modern. A fashionable flapper had short sleek hair, a shorter than average shapeless shift dress, a chest as flat as a board, wore make up and applied it in public, smoked with a long cigarette holder, exposed her limbs and epitomised the spirit of a reckless rebel who danced the nights away in the Jazz Age.

The French called the flapper fashion style the 'garçonne'.


In 2008 - flapper dress are rise , drop waist dress, more seeing on those beading and fringing look. Not forgetting delicately beaded capelets and boleros inspired by Kate Moss's look for Topshop , she manage to held it down with the look as she paired it up with a hot good looking PVC/ liquid leggings.
