Homecoming Set in the Late 1920s
Flapper style arose during the 1920s, when women became more rebellious and more tomboyish. Their dresses were shortened to their knees and usually adorned with a fringed layer of material. Unlike earlier times, the dresses did not accentuate their curves. In fact, they hid them. The declining use of a corset and the drop waist design of the dress made the women look less feminine. The women of this era enjoyed dancing to jazz music. The Charleston was one common dance in which women would dance in short flapper dresses and two to three inch heels.
The style of flapper women can be recreated today brought into a homecoming event!
Cloche hats were popular with flapper women. Here are some similar styles that imitate the cloche hat.
Several layers of long dangling pearl necklaces were also worn as an accessory by flapper women.
Of course, the final and most important piece of the outfit: the dress. Here are some drop waist dresses with frills. They recreate the boyish style of 1920s flapper dresses. These are all available at MissesDressy.com
