I don't really know how flapper dresses came into being, and I'm not really sure I want to. If you were wondering, flapper dresses were worn during the 1920's for fun occassions. I guess you could consider them club attire. I've never been fond of flapper dresses because they look kind of sketchy. In this picture, the model's makeup even makes her look a little drunk. No wait, she actually looks like a zombie, a drunk zombie.I have a friend who likes flapper dresses and would love to be a flapper. I asked her why, and she said that they were fun dresses. I really couldn't see the fun behind them, but I did try. Maybe they are fun because they're loose and flirty. Then again, maybe the freedom they stand for is supposed to magically carry over into the dresses. After all, they were worn to clubs. But neither of these explanations worked for me. I just couldn't find the fun, until I saw this picture. The fun has to be in the boa. It's fluffy, good for wrangling men, and handy in a cat-fight.
