The style commonly known as a “flapper” dress was a staple of the 1920s. The rebellious women of the time did away with long dresses and corsets and dared to bare their legs with these more revealing looks. They hung loose on the body and often featured art deco patterns and sequin embellishments such as these styles found at Top Shop.
