1920s Costumes Include Gangster Girls and Flapper Dresses

1920's costumes are as hot as ever, and celebrate the romanticized era of the roaring 20s. From prohibition and speakeasies to automobiles and radios, the roaring 20s marked a pivotal generation of consumerism, excitement, luxury, and discontinuity.

Prohibition gave way to organized crime and later the Italian mafia and other gang outfits. Gangster costumes are designed after the gangsters of the 20's, with pinstripes and fedoras. Sexy gangster costumes give a heart stopping sexy twist to a classic favorite, with collars and wrist cuffs, short miniskirts, and sexy jacket tops. There is a sexy allure to a woman dressed as a gangster girl. Gangster girls carry power with every sexy step, and every action is backed by the don. With the rising popularity of social games like Mafia Wars, gangster costumes are also a great way to steal the attention of a game-obsessed lover. Put a hit out on your man and role play as a gangster girl.

Flapper dresses are another popular style for a 1920's costume. Women experienced more freedom in the 1920's, as well as now having the right to vote. Flapper costumes include fun fringes, sequins, flapper hats, and even long pearl necklaces and feathers. Dancing was revolutionized with well lit dance halls, and the rise in tap dances, foxtrots, the Charleston and more, and flapper dresses gave a bold proclamation of a willingness to have fun and dance.
