Swinging costume ideas for your next 1920s fancy dress event
With the Roaring 20s Festival 2025 coming up, there's never been a better time to don your flapper dress and pearls. For all you discerning gents, a snazzy sports coat and fedora wouldn't go astray either.
The Roaring 20s Festival 2025 is a month-long event that's hosted in the breathtaking Blue Mountains region of New South Wales. The event pays tribute to an era when glamorous balls, sophisticated high teas, and swingin' music was all the rage; or should we say...the bees knees?
The festival features a great bunch of events including The Great Art Deco Ball, The Majestic Charleston Challenge for Charity, and The Majestic Long Lunch. In previous years, the event has broken the Guinness World Record for the largest number of costumed people dancing to the Charleston.
Step back in time for The Roaring 20s Festival 2025 with our 1920s flapper costumes range.

Simply dress up in a 1920s-inspired outfit and bring along a gold coin donation to take part in the annual Charleston for Charity Challenge.

Dresses
Our 1920s fancy dress range features a glamorous selection of flapper style dresses. Once considered to be rather risqué, flapper dresses are now a glamorous option for any 1920s fancy dress event. You'll find many Gatsby-inspired dresses with elegant style nods in the form of sequined and fringed detailing.
Styling advice:
Don't be afraid to accessorise your flapper dress with glam accessories like

necklace. For the indecisive diva in all of us, many of the flapper dresses come complete with fashion accessories:
