How Do You Make A 1920S Flapper Dress?
A 1920s flapper dress is a classic costume for a Halloween or masquerade party. It’s easy to make with a minimum of skills and supplies and can be finished in an afternoon. Find a slip dress at a thrift store or resale shop. Satin is best, but polyester is fine as well. The best design will have a straight neckline, not a v-neck. Straps should be thin and string-like, rather than sleeves. Use the measuring tape to measure around the bottom hem of the dress. Cut this length of the fringe. Pin the fringe along the bottom hem of the dress and sew to attach. Neatly tack down the end of the fringe to connect it with the beginning of the strip. About two inches above this first row of fringe, pin the next row, taking care that it is even. Measure the distance between rows every few inches to make sure. Sew this row to secure, making sure to tack the ends together. Continue attaching rows of fringe to the dress until you reach the top. The last row will be attached to the top hem of the neckl
