1920s Fashion - Great Gatsby Style in 30 Minutes

By now you’ve probably heard that The Great Gatsby movie is coming out this weekend. All the media hints that the movie will have plenty of glamour and decadence. Don’t you wish you could experience one of these fabulous parties for yourself?
1920s
This week, we were inspired to create a 1920s look based on The Great Gatsby. Whether you’re an East Egger or West Egger, this look only takes 30 minutes and anyone can pull it off. All you need is a shift dress and the right accessories.
Let’s start at the top. 1920s fashion is marked by gorgeous hair accessories. We love this headband by Tilt Adornments— it's hand-sewn from vintage beads and perfect for a special occasion. We tied the headband over curled hair that was pinned in the back to create a short bob effect. We then went with a darker lipstick to add a little drama.

If you don’t happen to have a 1920s styled frock, choose a shift dress that is less cinched at the waist. For our jewelry, we chose vintage inspired pieces designed by April Reno.

These pieces are available exclusively on Unique Indie and also happen to be inspired by 1920s Art Deco.

We chose the longer Sara necklace to elongate our model’s figure and added the timeless Bernadin statement bracelet in Rhodium.
