Hi Bronny,

I've been invited to a hens party where the theme is 1920's gangster style. What are the key elements to this dress up?

Hi Hayley,

Thanks for asking another question! You've got quite a lot of parties going on at the moment! How fantastic!

I love the 1920s theme, you need to think sequined hair band that you wear around your forehead, you could even put a feather in this.

The 20s was all about flapper dresses, silk stockings and the bob haircut.

You could wear a flapper dress, this is a dress that drops to the hip very straight and then flares a little but still quite short. You might even pick one up in an opshop. Failing that, the other look you could go for which could be fun is a Marlene Dietrich inspired outfit, a mans tuxedo, with cigarillo holder and tophat, you'd probably get either of these outfits from a good costume store and I think you'd look super gorgeous in either.

Here's Marlene
