Here are some Halloween or Fancy dresses for a 1920s costume party. 20s flapper dress costumes and gangster girls are the most popular 1920s Halloween costumes. Be iconic in a short fringe flapper costume with a feather boa, headband, and fishnet tights. Or, be more old Hollywood glamour in a mid-length tiered dress, with long pearls, a cigarette holder, and T strap shoes.
Great Gatsby costumes for women use the same look. Real Gangster girls and mafia women looked like everyone else in the 1920s, but a classic Halloween gangster girl costume wears pinstripe pants or skirts with button-down white blouses and a necktie.
You could also stand out with an Amelia Earhart costume, nodding one of the first female aviator pilots in the 1920s. She wore knicker pants, men’s shirts, a leather flight jacket, an aviator hat, and goggles.
Get ready to dance the night away at the Speakeasy in one of these fun, cheap, 1920s costumes, Great Gatsby costumes or Gangster girl costumes under $100. Many are available as 1920s plus size flapper costumes too.
