Flapper Dress Costume

Flapper girls really burst onto the scene during the early part of the 1920s. Distinctive due to its unique look, the typical flapper girl costume was designed to have a square, almost boyish appearance. Flapper girls also tended to wear heavily applied makeup, cut their hair rather short, and listen to jazz while breaking stereotypical views of what young women should look and act like.

The red flapper dress comes with a smoking hot dress with classic layered fringe, a sequin trimmed neckline and matching headband. To round out this 1920s costume you could easily add a sexy pair of fishnet stocking, a tempting lace garter, or a sultry feather boa. The boys will certainly be roaring at you this Halloween!

Show your friends you mean business in this truly stunning and classy gangster outfit. Nothing is more sexy than a confident, empowered woman, and in this look, all eyes will be focused squarely on you!

Prohibition was not received well at all. Almost everyone did everything in their power to get around it. Famous gangsters, such as Al Capone, reportedly made millions simply providing the American public what they wanted; alcoholic beverages. Other industrious mob bosses ran popular speakeasies, bootlegging organizations, and ultimately became extremely wealthy.

Regardless of whether you select a sexy flapper dress costume, or a more traditional pin striped zoot suit, the perfect 1920s costume will have the boys squarely focused on you!

Children, and adults alike, absolutely love Halloween. Most people, however, are simply unaware of the history of Halloween. Where does it come from? Why do we still celebrate it today? Is there a reason why children dress up in fun Halloween costumes and go door to door begging for candy?

The History of Halloween

We can actually trace the origins of Halloween back to the ancient Celtic festival called Samhain. This festival was typically held on October 31st and traditionally represented the end of harvest. It also marked the end of the sunnier side of the year and the beginning of the darkness! For the most part Samhaim was a time for people to take an inventory of their livestock and food supplies in preparation for the coming winter.

Large bonfires were created and from these flames individual households would light their hearths; which helped create a lasting bond between neighboring families.

Why We Wear Halloween Costumes

Perhaps the most enduring, longest lasting of the Celtic traditions was the act of wearing costumes and masks. Basically this was a clever attempt to appease or even look like the evil spirits that they believed become stronger during the second half of the year. Many young men even went as far as to dress in white clothing, mask or paint their face black and go around town impersonating the dead.

Why We Carve Pumpkins

Another rather interesting tradition involved hollowing out large turnips and carving scary faces into them. These faces were then placed in the windows of the villager’s houses and were widely believed to be effective in warding off these evil spirits. In North America, pumpkins are typically used as they are much more readily accessible and much largers; making it easier to carve than even the biggest turnip would be.

The Imagery of Halloween

Halloween is one of those holidays that simply cannot be mistaken for another! It’s influence is derived from a wide range of sources. Gothic and horror works of fiction, such as Bram Stoker’s Dracula and Frankenstein, played a large role in shaping common perceptions. Classic Halloween characters such as witches, ghost, vampires, cats, and skeletons all have been dramatically influenced by magic, death, and the occult.

Why Kids Go Trick or Treating

Most children, of course, love Halloween for one reason, and one reason alone; THE CANDY. Trick or treating can also trace its origins to 16th century Scotland. Children then would go from house to house wearing costumes, carrying carved turnips, and offering entertainment in return for food or money. Kids would ask ‘trick or treat?’ implying that if they did not receive a treat then some form of mischief was happen to that household at a later date. In some parts of Scotland, children are still required to perform some song, dance, or activity in order to receive their treat. This sounds like a wonderful idea to me!

Unique Halloween Costume Ideas

Now that you understand where Halloween comes from you should understand why it has been modified over the years. The western world has turned this amazing holiday into a real celebration of fun and frivolity. Adults now enjoy dressing up and attending costume parties just as much as their kids do. The cool thing is that we are no longer limited in our costume choice to those costumes that might help us ward off evil spirits.

We are now free to dress in outfits that make us feel beautiful, strong, or even sexy. If you are looking for a unique costume alternative for your party this year, consider dressing in a rough and tough, cool as ice, female gangster costume.

Adult Gangster Costumes

Selecting A Smoking Hot Female Gangster Costume

Everyone looks forward to Halloween, whether they will admit it or not. It is fun to dress up and look glamorous. This special night marks one of the few times each year where we get to act like children and simply have a good time. The problem with most Halloween parties that you will attend is that the costume choices tend to be dominated by classic costumes such as devils and vampires and other similarly themed outfits. Not everyone wants to go down this path; sometimes we want a really cool, ultra unique costume, that you typically won’t see all over your party.

Machine Gun Molly Costume

One of our personal favorites is a female gangster costume; specifically the Machine Gun Molly Costume. This costume is part of a new genre of Halloween outfit alternatives and is perfect for that girl who wants to show her friends and family that she means business.

Sexy roaring twenties costumes simply do not get much better than this. A black and white striped short sleeve top is complemented nicely by a short pencil type skirt. A red handkerchief helps to break up the traditional pin striped look that was such a huge part of the overall gangster vibe. Another cool feature of this costume is the white lace up back which will certainly help attract a lot of attention. Of course, no true female mafia costume would be complete with a stylish black fedora.

When rocking this absolutely stunning outfit it is also important that you include a few crucial costume accessories. Black fingerless gloves, sexy fishnet stockings, and black & white shoes will really allows adult gangster costumes to shine and to stand out in a crowd!.

The final ingredient to designing the perfect Halloween costume is having the right attitude. Gangsters did not ask for permission or say please. It is always easier to ask for forgiveness than it is to ask for permission. Stand tall and have a great time this year while wearing one of these sexy adult gangster costumes!

Female Gangster Costume

Do you want to dress in an authentic looking female gangster costume this Halloween? If so, here are a few tips that will help you choose the best gangster outfit possible!

Background Information About the Gangster Era

Before you rush out and buy your costume it helps to have a basic understanding of the era in which you hope to emulate. Not only is having this knowledge an important way to fill in the gaps in knowledge of American history it will also help you portray your role as a member of the mob more realistically. Heck, if it works for Hollywood then it should work just as well for us!

The United States government, in its infinite wisdom, decided that alcoholic beverages were not good for the moral character of its people. As such, the 18th Amendment to the United States Constitution was passed which made it illegal to buy, sell, or distribute beverages containing alcohol. Of course, all this served to do was to fuel our desire for this substance even more.

Organized crime families, known as the Mafia (aka Mobsters) quickly discovered just how profitable it could be to control the supply side of this trade. Large cities, such as Chicago and New York, became the headquarters of large and powerful mafia ‘families’.

Since this industry was so profitable, the typical gangster was perhaps one of the best dressed, and most stylish, people in America.

The Female Gangster Costume

Perhaps the most notable feature of a gangster’s wardrobe was his or her pin striped suit. To look more authentic it is always a good idea to select a double-breasted pin striped suit in either black or dark gray that features lighter colored stripes of white or gray. Of course for a woman any combination, such as black and red, black and white, black and pink, or even pink and black, will look amazing.

Selecting a matching tie, that is made of a similar fabric, will help tie the whole look together nicely. With regards to the proper choice of shoes, black pumps will always work best. To complete the perfect female gangster costume, it is crucial that you wear a matching felt fedora hat!

Gangster Costume Accessories

Having the right costume accessories will help elevate your outfit to ‘best costume’ status. If your pin striped suit has a front pocket, and it might, consider adding a folded white silk handkerchief. Doing so will help break up the pin stripes a bit and, quite frankly, adds just a little something extra that most party goers simply will not have.

If you selected a gangster moll costume that features a skirt instead of long pants wearing either fishnet stockings or black stocking attached to a sexy garter belt will really make your look unique!

Selecting the perfect costume for Halloween can make the difference between you having a good time and you having a epic, life changing experience. Display some attitude, be bold, act out a few secret fantasies, and show your friends and family that you mean business.

Follow these simply tips and you will have the perfect female gangster costume!

This elegant costume literally scream money (it comes with a tie that has a cute gold dollar sign boldly displayed on the front).

It is hard not to be a little cocky and arrogant while wearing this stylish gangster girl costume.

The stereotypical gangster is usually closely associated with organized crime families during the roaring twenties and early 1930s. The 18th Amendment was supposed to impose fundamental values of the American people yet only served to fuel our demand for alcoholic beverages even more. Local mafia quickly claimed control of the supply side of this now highly desired commodity and quickly began making huge amounts of money. As more money was being made, police men and other government officials who were tasked with upholding the law were either bribed into service or quickly eliminated. Local speakeasies were now the place to be and flapper girls made sure every one there had a good time.

Dressing up in a female gangster costume is a great way to break out of your day to day life. It is always such fun pretending to be someone completely different than you normally have to be. This Halloween, instead of simply playing it safe, dare to dazzle your friends in a sexy gangster girl costume.

Flapper girls were all the rage during the early to late 1920s.

Yep!  That’s right. Before America’s obsession with the skinny, borderline unhealthy, look women looked like women. For some reason we call these women ‘plus size’ in today’s culture, when in reality anyone bigger than a size 8 is now somehow considered voluptuous.

The American lifestyle in the early 1920s was full of fun and excitement. The music, the lassie-faire attitude, and the bold new direction many women began to take really helped set this time period apart from any other decade in American history.

During this decade the popularity of a new type of women began to rise. No longer were women satisfied to stay at home, cook dinner, and raise children. These women simply did not want to conform to the stereotypical norm that was so pervasive in our culture.

A typical flapper girl costume consisted of an extremely short and sexy skirt usually made of a shiny or brilliant material. These women cut their hair in a shirt, bob-like style and usually listened to music, such as jazz, that went against what was popular with more conservative individuals. In a nut shell, these sexy and bold women flaunted their utter disdain for ordinarily accepted behavior.
