Flapper
Dress
A Model Photo Shoot in flapper dresses?
A fashion model shoot is the perfect
time to temporarily take on the appearance of someone else.
It’s the one time you can dress up in just about any
costume you want and pose for pictures you never dreamed you
could do. For a female photographers model looking for an
idea for an outfit, a flapper dress is something to be
reckoned with.
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
