Digging deep into the finishing touches to flapper dress style
Flapper Costume

Stockings

Scarf
Don’t ever forget the scarf when dressing like a flapper. You will need a skinny and long scarf with a long feather boa or some fringing and wrap it around you. This will give you the right 1920s look.
Gloves
You will need velvet or satin gloves that fit well to complete the flapper look.
Pearls
When looking for flapper costumes Australia, always remember to get a long string of pearls. You can wear several beaded strings at once. Make sure they are of different lengths. If you don’t get pearls then you can supplement them with long strings of beads to achieve a similar look. You won’t need dainty necklaces. You can try a chunky diamante necklace if you don’t have beads.
Make-up

Make sure you put on some lipstick. Just draw rosebud lips as you emphasise the two peaks on the top lip. You could go for a dark shade or a dramatic red shade.
