When I was getting ready for my first Gatsby party,  I had no idea where to start with finding my outfit.

I ended up finding everything I needed online and rocking that perfect 1920’s flapper girl look that I so badly wanted to recreate.

These dresses are perfect for a Gatsby themed party  or any occasion, and my go-to whenever my friends invite me to these parties.

Most dresses of the time were in those darker colors, I personally love a dark green, red, or black as my go-to Gatsby  dress

Choosing a dress with Art Deco designs and covered in beads is sure going to really embody the roaring 1920’s spirit of glitz and glamour

I love wearing these dresses on an extra formal night, whether it’s a black tie formal party or I just feel like dressing up, wearing a floor length dress makes me feel elegant!

One thing I love about the 1920’s floor length gowns is the long Art Deco style lines that go all the way to the floor, in either a straight or slightly curved body hugging fit.

If you really want to stay as true to 1920’s fashion as possible, then a dress at calf length is perfect.

A dress can also be a bit shorter if you are comfortable, with the fringe coming down to your knee for some extra flirty fun.

For this look, find a dress that tucks in at your waist, and flares out at your hips to create that gorgeous hourglass shape.

Art deco designs and beads are also an essential on your dress, adding vertical lines can really create and emphasis your silhouette, and adding a shawl or cape on top really completes this look.

They are comfortable, adorable, and with a low heel they are easily my favorite shoes to dance the night away in!

I like to match the band of my headband to the color of my dress (black dress, black headband), and choose a brooch or a jewel that will be laid on the side of my head.

A simple black or white envelope style bag will do for this type of outfit, and I like to choose flapper purses that are fairly small and easy to carry.

A long strap is perfect for casually throwing your purse over your shoulder while socializing with all of your friends at your party!

The longer the string the better, that you can wrap multiple times and layer around your neck as the ultimate accessory for your party.

These bracelets could be attached to a ring on your finger, which I find to be a really interesting take on wearing any normal bracelet!

I always love to coordinate the color of my dress with my turban, but of course choosing whichever color is what is going to make you feel best.

You can pull them all the way down your forehead to your eyebrows to get a really authentic 1920’s flapper girl look

Since a Gatsby party is all about being as glamorous as possible, making your makeup as fun and sultry as possible is a must!

I like to keep my foundation as light as possible, with just a bit of matte powder to help my makeup stay on all night.

Eyebrows: I always like to fill in my brows, but when I am getting ready for a Gatsby party I’ll make my brows as arched and dark as possible.

Eyeliner & Mascara: I like to wear my eyeliner and mascara on my top eyelashes/lid to really make my eyes pop.

Voila! You are looking exactly like a 1920’s flapper girl, who is ready to dance the night away at her Gatsby party!

A Classic Gatsby Dress This dress, glimmering with sequins, glitter, and fringe, in a tubular shape to create that classic ‘boyish’ figure look so popular in the 1920’s

I prefer using faux fur, in either white or grey for an elegant piece that can be great for keeping warm!

There you have it, the perfect Daisy Buchanan costume that will surely turn heads, and maybe help you meet your very own Jay Gatsby!

It was originally a novel written in 1925 by F. Scott. Fitzgerald , who was famous for writing about the popular ‘ Jazz Age ’ of the 20’s decade

A fictional story about the characters Jay Gatsby and Daisy Buchanan the novel represents the decadent parties of the 1920’s , Jay Gatsby’s obsession with Daisy, and perfectly depicts the lifestyle of the Jazz Age that F. Scott. Fitzgerald was so inspired by.

Together they have a romantic affair over the summer of 1922, and eventually cause a lot of trouble, for Daisy is married, and Gatsby has his hands in illegal business.

This book was then adapted into a few films, one of the most recent starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Jay Gatsby Carey Mulligan as Daisy Buchanan , and Tobey Maguire as Nick Carraway.

It was highly praised and the perfect picture of what the Roaring Twenties was like, and the freedom and also problems of the time.

I’ve dressed up as Daisy at multiple Halloween parties, and she is a great costume character to be, especially when trying to find your Gatsby.

Now you know a bit about The Great Gatsby , which is considered an incredible piece of literary fiction even today, the 1920’s decade is a time that fascinates so many people, including me!

Women were no longer constricted by societal norms, their voices could be heard, and a right to choose was taken very seriously.

Short, bob style hair, no constraining corset, and the enjoyment of music, art, and dance was the lifestyle of a flapper.

But the term eventually evolved into women, who aesthetically had a boyish figure, but their attitude was more along the lines of, ‘ I will not take no for an answer .’

Either way, the term is now a staple of the 1920’s fashion look and the perfect costume idea for anyone who is looking for a fun party outfit.

But, there were varying terms within the ‘ flapper girl ’, and we can separate the different degrees of them by semi-flapper, flapper, and super flapper.

By the mid-1920’s most women considered themselves flappers , usually college aged women who rode in fast cars, dressed however they felt like, and were young, hip, and enjoying city life.

With the distribution of magazines all over the country, young women all over wanted the newest fashion trends, cut their hair short, and expressed themselves with new lingo such as, ‘The Cats Meow’, ‘Scram – go fly a kite’, and ‘Heebie Jeebies’.

Incorporating all these historical elements on what makes a flapper girl ‘authentic’ is such a fun part of dressing up, and exactly why I love dressing up in 1920’s fashion

I hope that this guide was useful for you, and helps you to pick out your favorite pieces for a great night at a Great Gatsby event

Whether you are attending wedding, dinner party, Halloween party, or simply just want a Flapper Girl costume idea, dressing up in 1920’s fashion is a fun way to embody the era of the time.
