Other vintage options
In addition to wearing flapper dresses, how about a cowboy suit or Victorian dress to round out your model portfolio.
These are both fun and alternative choices that allow you to take a step back to yesteryear in your pictures. But the flapper dress is the perfect choice to carry you back to the 1920s. |
Where to find vintage flapper dresses
If you are ready to spice up your model shoot with a flapper dress, you may have to dig a little to find one for your wardrobe. It is near impossible to walk into your favorite department store or clothing boutique and see a rack assigned to the flapper dress. These thigh-high sexy dresses are sometimes difficult to locate and finding one is like discovering buried treasure.
Vintage stores
A few antique shops may have a section dedicated just to vintage clothing. Many times you will find some beautiful and exciting choices including groovy dresses from the sixties and (Ugggh) bell bottom jeans reminiscent of the seventies You man even find a flapper dress or two in stock.
Making your flapper dress fit
Finding one to fit you is a different matter. But, even if it is too large you can always have it tailored to fit. We have many models come through to wear some of the clothing we have available which are larger than their dress sizes. The beauty of fashion photography is that we can pin the back, or even the front for a backside picture and no one can tell the difference once the final image is done.
With that said, you know not to worry so much about size when you pick a vintage dress you really like. Just alter it or fake it. Both work in model photography!
Personally whenever I shoot with models I am constantly looking for new and exciting ways to portray the young woman. A flapper dress is a perfect way of having a fun shoot and can really spice up the pictures.
Finding online auctions for flappers
To find some excellent choices of flapper dresses, online auction sites are great places to shop when it comes to finding items like this. You will find articles of vintage goods being sold in the clothing sections of these sites and yes, this many times include a few flapper dresses.
The online clothing auction may not afford you the luxury of choosing between several different colors or styles you will be excited to know that you are now the proud owner of an original flapper dress to wear during your fashion photo shoot or you can astound your friends at your next costume party.
Costume stores for flapper dresses
If you are not having any success with the ideas above you may want to give the local costume store a glance. Now, these vintage style dresses are not going to be originals but they can most assuredly be worn to your photography session. How about renting your dress?
There are costume stores all over the country who offer their customers the advantage of renting certain costumes and wardrobe pieces. The session may be the only time you wear your flapper dress so renting will allow you to capture your sexy flapper look without having to own the outfit. The vintage pictures will still belong to you so this is a valid option.
Whatever you decide to be for your next masquerade party, have fun with it. In this setting you can wear anything you desire and become someone else for a few hours.
Whoever said a costume party has to be boring. Wear your vintage clothing or find a different and fun costume to wear. Want to really go wild? Consider taking advantage of the chance to let your inhibitions go and become a super hero, Wonder Woman or a princess?
I think that this article about flapper dresses really teaches us how important spontaneity is when planning a costume event and I always try to encourage that girls just have some fun. It will show when you wear your flapper dress! You can find 1920s style flapper dresses and other costumes by going to www.fantasy-costume.net
