About
Flapper names the wardrobe of the young Western women who broke loudly from Edwardian convention through the 1920s — voting, smoking, drinking, driving, dancing the Charleston. The silhouette is deliberately straight up and down: drop-waist shift dresses cut to skim a flat-chested ideal, hemlines climbing scandalously to the knee, often heavy with bugle beads, sequins and fringe that caught the speakeasy light. Hair was chopped into short bobs (Eton, Marcel-waved or finger-waved), eyes were heavily kohled and lips drawn into a small bow. Today the look survives almost entirely as event-wear — Gatsby parties, 1920s-themed weddings, NYE bashes — and as a touchstone for runway revivals and Baz Luhrmann film costuming.
Not Roaring Twenties — Flapper is specifically the dressed-up party silhouette; Roaring Twenties covers the broader decade including daywear, menswear and tailoring.
