Whether you're throwing a 1920s Murder Mystery Party to Die For or attending one as a suspicious guest, there's a good chance that you're looking for a flapper dress as killer as your character!
As someone who's thrown quite a few parties myself, I've done my fair share of shopping and found a few online stores that can make dress shopping a breeze. If you are able to purchase from a local shop or a small business, I would always recommend that first!
Since it can be tricky to find a flapper dress (especially if you aren't attending a party during Halloween) here are my recommendations from larger online shops that always have stylish gatsby-themed dresses in stock.
BEST PLACES TO FIND FLAPPER DRESSES
THE CONVENIENT CHOICE: Amazon
THE INEXPENSIVE CHOICE: Shein
THE UNIQUE CHOICE: Unique Vintage
THE SPECIALITY CHOICE: Babeyond
AMAZON.COM
Let's start with the most convenient shopping choice out there, Amazon. If you were just informed about a party coming up next weekend and need it shipped fast, or if you may have left dress shopping wait until the last minute, Amazon has plenty of flapper dress options that ship quickly, so you'll be looking fabulous in no time!
A quick search of "Flapper Dress" will show you everything you need. Amazon also has a fantastic selection of accessories and sells sets as well, which include gloves, headbands, pearl necklaces, earrings, long cigarettes, and more.
SHEIN.COM
Shein has a gigantic selection of flapper dresses and they're priced much lower than other sites out there. A quick warning, the quality may not always be the best with Shein, but I've personally purchased two floor-length Gatsby dresses from Shein and they were both gorgeous and held up well throughout the evening.
Search for "flapper" or "formal flapper" if you're looking for something a little fancier!
UNIQUEVINTAGE.COM
If you want to be sure that you'll be wearing something no one else is wearing, Unique Vintage is an amazing site filled with beautiful flapper dresses. Unique Vintage focuses on vintage clothing, offering styles from the 20s, 50s, 60s, and more. They have an entire section of their website dedicated solely to Flapper Dresses. Another one of my favorite things about Unique Vintage is that they also have plenty of plus-size dresses.
They do tend to be a little pricier than the other options listed, but a dress from Unique Vintage will certainly distract other party-goers from the idea that you might secretly be the murderer.
BABEYOND.COM
Babeyond focuses solely on 1920s attire and has an entire website full of beautiful options. They are also available on Amazon, but it's a great idea to support them directly if this is the company you choose to go with! Babeyond has a section for Dresses, Headpieces, Accessories, and even a Men's Section.
They offer plenty to dress the whole party and all at a great price point. Babeyond makes it easy to sleuth in style.
Between these websites, it should be easy to pick out your perfect Flapper Dress. And be sure not to forget all of the beautiful, shiny accessories that will keep away the outlandish suspicions that you may actually be an accessory to murder.
Have a Killer Party!
