20´s Party
This upcoming Saturday it´s my birthday so we will be having a birthday party as well as a housewarming party, and the theme will be the 1920´s. You know, flapper dresses, spectator shoes, big band music, cigarette holders, gangsters - whatever existed in the 20´s. I haven´t got a lot of clothes from the era, and as far as I can think of, only two dresses that can somewhat fit into the look, either a little flapper looking or more just the shapeless fit, although nothing with a drop waist. I´m testing out things a little today, trying to decide what to go for. I don´t know which dress to choose and which accessories to wear with which dress. Everything might not be spot on for the era, but as long as it feels a little glamorous I´m not going to be fuzzy about it.
One possibility is the more casual look, but it is a little outdoorsy. The lipstick is of course Chanel.
There´s the feather boa. And the turban. The turban might not be a staple for the 20´s, but as far as I know it was worn. I attached a rhinestone brooch that of course can be removed.
Then there´s the more flapper inspired looks with feathers in the hair. The tiered dress will have to replace the fringes. The biggest problem here is the bangs. The wing hair clip is from Menagerie Design, I just put it into a headband.
The little details like the seamed stockings. And pearls.
I´ve played around with my ideas a little, now I´d love to hear your thoughts! Fashion history is not really my strongest side and I do not have the biggest selection, so help will be appreciated. Which dress with which accessories? Or perhaps you have completely different ideas?
