We are encouraging our Rhapsody in Blue guests to come in their finest 1920's attire! Not sure what to wear or don't want to buy something new? Here are some tips to give what you already have a 1920's flair!
For Women:
- Sheath dresses - These dresses are often just below knee-length. The waistline should sit low on your hips. These dresses aren't form-fitting! Sheaths are cut relatively straight and just hang off of your body.
- Fishnet tights - For extra authenticity, find nylons with seams running up the back.
- Low heels - You've got to be able to dance!
- Long beaded necklaces - Necklaces are often worn tied in a knot, and they hang down low!
- Fur Wraps - Typically, shoulders are bare (except for the straps on your dress). But a fur wrap or shawl looks great draped on your arms!
- Gloves - If you're going to wear gloves, opt for a solid-colored, silky looking fabric.
- Hair - try out finger waves. If your hair is long, you can always throw it in a low bun and wear a beaded headband.
- Make-up - go for a smokey eye and dark red lips.
For Men:
- Suspenders, slacks, and a simple white button-down. Vests and bowties were also a nice way to keep a simple outfit looking classy.
- Look for suits in either striking solid colors or plaid/pin-striped. Solid-colored suits in white were often accented with brightly colored ties in pinks or reds.
- Shoes - look for oxfords or add spats to your regular dress shoes.
