Vintage Dancer | 1920s Fashion | Great Gatsby Attire- Couple’s Outfit

Great Gatsby Attire- Couple’s Outfit

1920s Fashion History

30 Apr 2014

At the end of May, my local opera company, Nevada Opera, is hosting a 1920s Great Gatsby Gala at the famous National Automobile Museum. There will be music, dancing, food, wine, and lots and lots of gorgeous cars on display! Its been an honor to be chosen to work with them both as the “costume consultant” and model for the publicity photos. I have been dressing in 1920s style clothing for years. Along with my husband Oscar, we have amassed quite a nice wardrobe of roaring ’20s clothing, from elegant flapper dresses to Gatsby costumes and even some gangster clothes.

I thought you might like to see how some of the publicity photos turned out and give you some ideas on creating Great Gatsby attire for couples.

Thank you Luke Lord for your fantastic photography!
