Just in case I don't get to be Snooki....

 

Although we do have enough people ready to do it to be the jersey shore cast =) 

Where could I find a flapper style dress? I just took mine out and all the little strings are everywhere... I would also want something I could wear my pretty gold shoes with.

  • I got it used (goodwill), but after hours and hours of looking (over about a month), as i had a small budget.  It didn't have any fringe, and i can wear it again.  In your shoes i'd look at a costume or vintage clothing store.  You could also get a simple dress with the right shape (or non-shape) to it and add the stringy stuff* to the bottom.  If you're careful you could take it off and wear the dress again.

    ETA: *Uh "stringy stuff" = fringe.  I'm feeling rather bright.

    What about finding a drop waist dress and then getting all of the accessories for it?

  • I love it! I will look for something like that... I wonder if I can find a gold one! I am obsessed with sparkle right now.

  • I was originally going to make a dress, so i have a few sites/pictures bookmarked.
    Basics of women's '20s fashion: boxy shape (no curves), drop waist (often accented), beading, sequins and fringe, sleeveless w/wide straps or loose sleeves, low scoop neck or boxy and/or asymmetrical neck, bright or pastel colours, just below the knee, light/silky fabrics.
    Other stuff: felt hats, flower and feather accents, knee-high stockings, wide/low-heeled shoes (rounded toe, often with a mary-jane or t-strap), boas, scarves, pearls

    This dress is gorgeous, but being a $1000 wedding gown, probably isn't quite what you're looking for:

    Ok, that's probably enough.  Did i mention i'm kind of enamored with twenties fashion, of late?
