Are you tired of wearing the same boring costume each year? Were you actually surprised to see twenty other girls dressed as Bella Swan at your last Halloween party? It can be difficult to find a great outfit that is also fun, flirty and unique. If you really want something a bit different this year, consider dressing in a sexy flapper costume.
It is amazing how some trends in fashion never go out of style. One example of this is the flapper dress costume. These versatile dresses can still be seen on the runways of Paris and London today!
First introduced during the roaring twenties, flapper dresses were all the rage. These super short, sequined dresses were typically accented with tons of sparkling sequins. The hemlines of these outfits basically dripped with distinctive free-flowing fringe that now characterizes the stereotypical flapper girl look. Flapper style dresses were designed to have a square, almost shapeless appearance. Many women even further accentuated this look by strapping down their chest area to create a flatter, more boyish feel.
This certainly did not mean that these women were not beautiful! These independent, free-spirited women were, in fact, overly sexual and were even viewed as promiscuous by the more conservative parts of society.
Known for their independent and free-spirited attitudes, these young women bucked the traditional roles women were supposed to play, electing to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, and dance all night at sleazy speakeasies instead of staying home and raising children. In essence, anything that was considered a societal norm was basically ignored in favor of having fun.
Instead of wearing the same worn out costume this year, break free from your comfort zone and add a little excitement to your life. You are certain to have the guys lined up just to get a chance to dance with you!
