Our Flapper Dress captures the vintage glamour that graced the runways of Chanel, Gucci, Givenchy, and Giorgio Armani, Dior.

See how a quick fabric or accessory switch can change this flapper dress over and over into a new design.

For our advanced sewists, try amending this pattern. Perhaps shortening the dress and overlaying with a glitzy rhinestone overlay, or using stretch lace overlay. You can also bring the modern take for the fringe and use Leather Fringe or Sequins Tassels.
