We love this flapper dress because it is a lined quality piece which can be made with a crepe fabric for a well constructed wardrobe piece, OR the base dress can easily be changed to make the flapper dress costume. Lengthen or shorten the hem line or lengthen or shorten the flanges.
Advanced sewists could add beading to the bodice in all kinds of different designs and bead types. Check out Pinterest for ideas on designs.
This pattern also comes with a basic flapper glove pattern and instructions. Again, make the gloves as simple or dressy as you like, but by changing the fabric.
Flapper Dress Costume: Advanced Sewing Pattern
This dress pattern is a bit more difficult for the Intermediate sewist because of the lining and the bust dart that may need to be adjusted.
If you use this simply as a costume, you may not have to be too picky about the dart and where they hit.
The lining is constructed by using the burrito roll method, which we have used on many of our sleeveless dress patterns. We have detailed written instructions as well as a video demonstration on how to do the burrito roll.
