Flapper Dresses and Great Gatsby Dresses

Let Us Morph You Back Into the Roaring Twenties

Roaring 20s and Great Gatsby themed events serve as fantastic opportunities to know more about this amazing time in history. In a snapshot, the Roaring 20s was a decade where young people ruled over an age of unparalleled and extraordinary change. An economic boom had come from the ending of World War I, which then caused a quantum leap in terms of freedom and financial prosperity.

These changes and riches saw an explosion in the social and fashion scenes. In particular, the world witnessed the birth of jazz music and the flapper girl. Together, they electrified the dance floors in exclusive residences across the world while popularising flapper wear and Gatsby 1920s dresses. These new-found riches are depicted prominently in the 1925 best-selling novel “The Great Gatsby.”

Fast forward 100 years to today — it really is not hard to understand why we still respect and celebrate this rich and vibrant decade.

The World's Most Popular Theme for a Party

If you have the privilege to get invited to a 1920's themed party or event, think yourself lucky as the 1920's is one of the most popular themes for a party. Quite likely the inspiration for your host came from Baz lurhmans re-make of 2013 block buster remake of “The Great Gatsby”. A brilliant movie that captures all the vibrancy, glitz and glamour of the 1920's.

The film rolled out party scenes in Jay Gatsby’s grandiose residence on long island west egg that was described by Nick Carraway as a Kaleidoscope carnival. These amazing parties simply exuberate fun on a level that would be appealing to even the most reclusive of person. The parties featured jazz bands, roulette tables, pools and the most glamourous of guests from all backgrounds sipping on cocktails and dancing a style that can only described as a wild and carefree. Men dressed to impress, well-groomed and in formal attire. The ladies (flapper girls) simply stunning. Wearing headbands and jewellery that only modestly compliment the most elegant and beautiful dress style of the past 100 years, “Flapper Dress.”
