1920S: FLAPPER DRESS
The flapper dress rose to popularity during the 1920s. The drop waist shift style accompanied by the decorative beads, fringe, and other embellishments added playful elements to the dress that reflected the exuberance of the decade. Tremendous social change post-WWI caused women to feel empowered due to gaining the right to vote in 1920. The heavy prevalence of Jazz music and prohibition also inspired recklessness amongst the youth. This societal shift made for perfect timing for the flapper dress to make an unconventionally stylish statement, along with the short bob hairstyle that was often worn in conjunction with the dress.
