"Flappers" were all about independence, confidence, bucking tradition, and forging new paths. Young women rebelled against their mothers' and grandmothers' corsets and petticoats, instead adopting sassy fashions featuring straight lines that emphasized slender frames.
While the dress silhouettes were usually sleek, the fabrics and ornamentation used for the clothing often made up for such simplicity.
Patterns - including stripes, stylized florals and other elaborate motifs - adornments like fringe, sequins and other exquisite details were prized. Popular accouterments included parasols, fans, wraps and scarves, feathered headbands and all manner of hats.
It's time to give these outfits from the Roaring Twenties the color and the verve they have been missing for the better part of a century!
