Charleston Flapper Costume For Women

We all have our go-to moves but do we really know what we're doing on the dance floor these days? The dropped waist with its pleated crepe skirt maintains a slim figure while allowing for those wild dance moves. What's your signature dance move? Now you're going to know your signature dance move, it's the flapper! As women's fashion was changing, so was music. Are you a bobber, someone who mostly nods with various degrees of intensity? Yikes. Apparently, courtly elders frowned on the waltz because it required two people to dance close together. Jazz had been developing in Harlem since the turn of the century and by the 20s jazz and the notable dance craze, The Charleston, was ready to blast into mainstream culture. Whatever happened to official dances that we could dance together?When the waltz came around everyone thought it was scandalous (leave it to the Victorians to find the waltz scandalous). If only those old guys knew that it wouldn't be long until young ladies would start throwing away their corsets and raising their hemlines.Talk about perfect timing. There are people who spastically take up all the room while the rest of us stand around trying to look cool. If you were making your entrance at a fancy roaring 20s party you'd be all the rage in this outfit. May you're more of wacky inflatable dancer type, someone who loses control of their arms as soon as the beat hits them. You've got the faux fur caplet, fingerless lace gloves, and headband, now all you need are the dance moves.
