“Goodbye, Goody Good Girl, I’m changing and how!” - Thoroughly Modern MillieThe Roaring '20s was quite possibly one of the most exciting decades of our time. Bands were getting jazzier, speakeasies were getting classier, and clothes were getting snazzier.And no one had more fun during the Jazz Era than a thoroughly modern girl! Everywhere you looked, women where raising their skirts, bobbing their hair, painting their lips and pencil-lining their brows…and that was just the fashions! What was once considered respectable only a handful of years ago was now suddenly considered backward and slow, including how many women chose to live their lives. One definable trend was the rise in women-only boarding houses, which were suddenly popping up in cities across America to accommodate bright young girls who had decided to move to bustling metropolises to seek out a career (or a rich husband) instead of stay in their own small towns to get married. Those young women sought to live lives that were “hot off the presses” and always one step ahead, and the result was an exciting, colorful, progressive time that still captures America’s imagination to this day.And now you can capture some of that dazzling spirit with this Women's Spikes and Tear Drops Flapper Costume! This gorgeous black sleeveless scoop-necked tank dress transports you right back into the glittering world of The Great Gatsby...covered with rows of round beads, silver teardrop sequins, & gold spike bugle beads, you'll be making the crowd roar as you Foxtrot and Charleston your way across the ballroom floor.
