But one thing that really makes a woman look beautiful is her dress.
There are many different types of dresses she can wear - casual, sporty, girly, sophisticated, and more. If you take a look at what’s being worn by many women considered to be fashion icons today, you’ll find the flapper dress.
Flapper dresses are a whole genre of women’s fashion which was introduced during the 1920’s. At this time, the dress represented the birth of a new breed of women because of the way they dressed up. After enduring years of torturous corsets and long manes which were becoming too inconvenient, they started to wear skirts and cut their hair into bobs.
Flapper dresses are usually straight in design, loose around the waist which dropped to the hips and sleeveless. They were also worn with stockings which were held up with garters. By the year 1927, the flapper dress was worn just below the knee.
Here are some steps on how to make your very own flapper dress:
1. Choose a flapper dress pattern.
2. Have someone take the proper measurements of your body- the waist, bust, hip, back waist length, front waist length, shoulder-to-bust, shoulder length, back width length, arm length, upper arm and shoulder-to-elbow. When you have finished taking the proper measurements, you should now determine the pattern size that best suits your measurements.
3. Make adjustments. Make a test version first. While on the process of sewing the test version, you can put the dress on and make proper adjustments so that it fits your body perfectly.
4. Finalize your pattern. If everything is done and good, you can now take a part of the test version and then use the sections in place of the original pieces. Before finishing, you should fit the dress first and see if it needs any adjustments. And when everything is good, you can now finish the hems and add details.
And now you have your very own flapper dress. You can wear a beaded necklace or a long pearl necklace to complete the vintage look.
Dying to have your very own flapper 1920’s dress? You’re not alone! Many women celebrities have turned their fashionable eyes into the 1920 clothing fashion and are resurrecting its glory. So if you want that look, buy it or work on it yourself.
