What's in the Box

• Silver-grey flapper dress with tiered fringe layers
• Elastic headband with sequin embellishment and white feather plume

This Kids 1920s Flapper Costume brings the shimmy and sparkle of the Roaring Twenties to Book Week, decade days, and school history projects. The silver-grey shift dress features horizontal tiers of metallic fringe from neckline to hem, designed to sway with every step just like the real Charleston dancers wore.

The dress sits at knee-length with a straight drop-waist silhouette authentic to the era. Sheer mesh panels extend over the shoulders for a touch of vintage Hollywood glamour. The fringe is cut to move freely — no stiff hems here. Headband has an elastic back so it stays put through dance recitals and all-day classroom wear, with a white feather plume that gives it the finishing flapper-girl touch.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for The Great Gatsby, Bugsy Malone parades, or 1920s history projects when your teacher asks for a storybook character from the Jazz Age.

Decade Day & School Dress-Up: Spot-on for Roaring Twenties themed days, 100 days of school when kids dress as centenarians (pair with a feather boa and you've nailed it), or any "dress from the past" event at kindy or primary school.

Dance Recitals & Themed Parties: Works beautifully for period choreography routines, vintage Hollywood birthday parties, or any event where your child gets to channel a Charleston dancer or silent-film starlet.

How to Wear It

Pair with comfortable T-bar shoes or black ballet flats and white ankle socks for authentic 1920s flair. Add a long pearl necklace (real or craft-store beads) and tell your child to practise their knee-knocking Charleston moves — the fringe is built to shimmy.

Parent FAQs

What size should I order?

Check the size chart image on this listing for chest and length measurements. The dress has a straight drop-waist cut, so if your child is between sizes and you want a bit of room for growth, size up — the fringe will still hit around the knee.

Can she wear this over regular clothes?

The dress is designed to be worn on its own (sleeveless, straight shift). If the classroom is cold, a plain white or grey long-sleeve top underneath won't disrupt the silhouette.

How do I wash this? Is the fringe durable?

Hand wash cold and hang to dry — the fringe is metallic fabric and won't love a spin cycle. Shake it out gently after washing to separate the tiers. It's party-quality fabric, not daily-wear tough, but it'll handle a full school day and photo session without shedding.

Is this suitable for Book Week if we're doing a 1920s book theme?

Absolutely. If your school is doing The Great Gatsby or any Roaring Twenties literature (or even a general "book from the past" theme), this costume nails the era. Pair it with a vintage book prop and you're sorted.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang dry, no tumble dryer.
