FUN Costumes Charleston Flapper Costume for Women Black/Beige
What's your signature dance move? Are you a bobber, someone who mostly nods with various degrees of intensity? May you're more of wacky inflatable dancer type, someone who loses control of their arms as soon as the beat hits them. We all have our go-to moves but do we really know what we're doing on the dance floor these days? There are people who... morespastically take up all the room while the rest of us stand around trying to look cool. Whatever happened to official dances that we could dance together?
When the waltz came around everyone thought it was scandalous (leave it to the Victorians to find the waltz scandalous). Apparently, courtly elders frowned on the waltz because it required two people to dance close together. Yikes. If only those old guys knew that it wouldn't be long until young ladies would start throwing away their corsets and raising their hemlines.
Talk about perfect timing. As women's fashion was changing, so was music. Jazz had been developing in Harlem since the turn of the century and by the 20s jazz and the notable dance craze, The Charleston, was ready to blast into mainstream culture. If you were making your entrance at a fancy roaring 20s party you'd be all the rage in this outfit. The dropped waist with its pleated crepe skirt maintains a slim figure while allowing for those wild dance moves. You've got the faux fur caplet, fingerless lace gloves, and headband, now all you need are the dance moves. Now you're going to know your signature dance move, it's the flapper!
FUN Costumes Women's Charleston Flapper Costume Black/Beige FUN6304AD
THE CHARLESTON
We hope you've been working on your dance moves because when you dress up as a Charleston flapper, you are going to want to dance! And not just any dance, we are talking about the Charleston darlin'! What better way to convince people you're a modern-day flapper than by busting a move right out of the 1920s?
The Charleston looks lik... moree a blast, but we don't have the coordination, unfortunately. We are just going to have to watch from the sidelines while you take the stage. Still, we're going to have a good time, even if we're just watching. Looking for a tune to practice your Charleston to? Why not use the original? The original song is called "The Charleston" (Who'd have guessed, right?) And it is by James P. Johnson, a pianist, and composer from the 1920s! A couple practice runs, and you'll have this dance perfected!
FUN DETAILS
This dress comes in black; a simple, elegant color, for a simple and elegant girl. It has embroidered flowers across the bodice, to match the headband you'll be wearing! Your elastic headband will be black with a black flower on the front. You'll also have a tan faux fur collar, which only adds to the effect of luxury. Another accessory we have included with this costume is the lace gloves you'll be wearing! These gloves are fingerless and are decorated with flower patterns. Last but not least, we've included a waist sash, the finishing touch on your lavish ensemble.
BROADWAY
When you perfect the Charleston, and you suddenly jump to stardom, can you promise us just one thing? Don't forget about us! Even when you're far away on a stage on Broadway, performing your beautiful dance, just remember us little folks here at Fun.com, who got you started on the whole thing.
