FLAPPERS were the rage of the 1920s, the era of Gatsby Glamour. Style changed dramatically from wearing your everday corset dress to the shapeless, shorter gowns. The idea of women being degraded down to small figures was despised by the infamous designer Coco Chanel, who designed flapper dresses.
As you can see in this image, women with curvier bodies could wear the 'Fashion' of this time. I am currently working on Gatsby Glamour project in a group and am loving researching the different styles. A classic theme that runs throughtout the decade was fringing, beads and chiffron fabrics. As a group I am excited to see how we can interpret this style as a modern garment
