Gatsby Girl Costumes - Selecting Your Costume To Dance The Night Away

Gatsby Girl costumes are based on the film "The Great Gatsby" that was based on the novel of the same title by F. Scott Fitzgerald. The story is set in the roaring 1920s after the First World War and when the United States was enjoying new levels of prosperity. The film and the novel focus on how bootleggers and other criminals were becoming millionaires. However, one of the most memorable parts of the movie and novel are the parties that were hosted by the millionaire Jay Gatsby. Therefore, the Gatsby Girl costumes are based on the flapper fashion during the 1920s.

The unique characteristics of the flapper fashion include a shapeless shift dress that was shorter in length compared to previous fashions, short sleek hair, make up that is usually applied in public, a flat chest, and smoking using a long cigarette holder. The exposure of the limbs represented a rebellious nature of a person who wanted to dance the nights away.

An important characteristic of the flapper fashion is that even the middle class women of society were able to conform with high fashion because of the simple construction of the flapper dress. However, the rich women were still able to emphasize their difference by wearing silk clothing that was heavily embellished.

One example of the Gatsby Girl costume is the Ladies 1920 Dress Costume that is composed of a feather headpiece and a flapper dress. Suitable accessories can be added including the characteristic long cigarette holder, flapper beads, wig, and stockings. Another Gatsby Girl costume is the Flapper Halloween Costume that is composed of a crepe satin dress that is trimmed with sequins and black and coral velour. It has a matching headpiece with flower accent and a sequined brim.

Another potential Gatsby Girl costume is the Sexy Black Flapper Adult Costume. It is made up of a black dress with a lace fringe and sequin trim. It also has a matching headband featuring a black feather. Possible accessories include a wig, long black gloves, black feather boa, and flapper beads.

Still another example of the Gatsby Girl costume is the Black Gatsby Girl Costume. It has fingerless gloves, a sequin flapper dress that is trimmed with sequins, and a matching headband. A possible accessory is the wig. Another example is known as the Gatsby Girl Deluxe Adult Costume. It has a black dress with a satin-feel with shimmering fringes and shining overlay. It comes with a matching pearl necklace and hat.

Can anyone help with a good last minute seventies costume?

I need a fast, easy way too look like I'm from the seventies. We are having a disco skate at my school tomorrow but I have nothing to wear!?!! All of my friends are wearing sequin dresses. That doesn't seem seventies to me!! Should I braid my hair overnight so it gets frizzy?? Someone help please!?!?!

The 70s were all about disco which included sequins and shiny tight pants. What you want to do is go to your nearest thrift store, second hand store or Salvation Army. Look for any type of polyester shirts, funky printed pants or bellbottom jeans.

Love the idea of braiding your hair to make it frizzy, you can tease it too to make it big. Here are some ideas of patterns for the 70s look:

Try to find clothes like that or ask your parents to help. Heck maybe your parents even have something in their closet you can borrow! Good luck and have fun!
