In the 1920s much a of war-weary world decided to cast off previous mores and restrictions and celebrate like never before. Art and culture were changing as Art Deco came to dominate all forms of design with its unique blend of bold geometric forms with luxurious materials, the economy was booming allowing things like entertaining and travel which had previously been only for the very wealthy was to open up to a burgeoning middle class, and fashion, was following suit by being looser, shorter, and showing a little more skin and a little less restraint.
The 1920s produced some of my most favorite styles and I've been aching for ages to try one of these glamorous sequin maxi flapper gowns. Since
Retro Stage offers so many beautiful dresses from the 1950s, 60s, and my beloved 1920s, when they reached out about a collaboration, I jumped at the chance and was thrilled when they sent this
Black 1920s Sequin dress and the best part is that you can save an extra 15% off your purchase with code
Leandra15. Retro-Stage offers sizes from US2 all the way to US18. This lovely dress fits true to size. It is well made and the you can see for yourself from the photos the way the sequins catch the light and make this dress glow. Wearing this lovely gown, I feel like I've stepped out of the pages of history. The area where I live was actually a booming vacation spot for oil barons, politicians, and gangsters alike during prohibition and wearing this dress, I feel like I could have rubbed elbows with even the most glamourous party-goers.
There are more lovely dresses on the way from my collaboration with Retro-Stage and I cannot wait to show you these stunning vintage looks! Plus my full YouTube review will be available soon as well.
