Where to Find the Perfect Flapper Style Dress for Any Occasion

It may be a lot closer to 2020 than it is to 1920, but let’s face it: the 1920s style has come back in a major way! With the Leonardo DiCaprio starring movie The Great Gatsby out last year, it seems that fashion has followed suit in its comeback. Many people have hosted themed parties dedicated to the 1920s flair and many couples have even had their wedding Gatsby-themed! With all of these 1920 era parties on the rise, it’s time for you to stock up on your flapper style dresses – you never know just when you’ll need one, apparently. Where to find them is the question; with their popularity, it seems like the vintage stores and thrift shops they were once found at, often get sold out of them, making it tough to find a decent frock. Whether you need to find a flapper dress for a costume party or you need a flapper-inspired dress for a special occasion, there are several places online to find what you need.

Here are some places to find the perfect flapper style dress for any occasion:
