Black on black, with fringes falling in bands across the skirt and swaying down the sleeves: that's what the Darcy flapper dress looks like. It is a two-piece 1920s costume for women, consisting of a short fringed dress and a matching headband with a feather. You wear it for a Gatsby evening, a 1920s-themed party, or Carnival.

- The headband is covered in sequins and has an upright feather on the side.
- The costume is made of 100% polyester and is suitable for hand washing.
- You can choose from the women's sizes 36/38, 40/42, and 44/46.
How does Darcy differ from the green Gatsby flapper dress?
The Darcy flapper dress works with texture instead of color: the fringes and the matte black fabric add movement, while only the waist and headband add shine. The green 1920s Gatsby flapper dress with fringes, on the other hand, features sequins across the entire bodice. If you are going to an atmospheric speakeasy or dinner party where black always looks good, choose Darcy. If you want to stand out among the crowd at a busy party, the green version is the more logical choice. In the 1920s, this short, straight silhouette with fringes symbolized the Charleston dance floor, because the fringes shook along with every step.
Styling tips for a Gatsby evening
Wear the dress with a long string of white faux pearls, black pumps, and a dark hat, and the Roaring Twenties look will be complete. Red lips and hair pinned up with the headband low across the forehead suit the style of that era. If you are going dancing or in a parade, choose shoes that are comfortable to stand in for long periods, because the fringed hem looks best in motion.
