Thursday Thrill – Great Gatsby

roaring 20's women's dress in beige with black beadwork in art deco pattern
Today's Thursday Thrill is a tribute to The Great Gatsby! A new film adaptation is coming out in May of 2013 that I am really excited about, so I decided to get the 1920's fun started early! Revival House is one of my favorite shops on Etsy and this flapper dress will give you a taste of why that is. An exquisite example of the 1920's, this sheer taupe flapper dress is classy and still rather playful. Small black enameled and marcasite beads adorn the edges and the front art deco pattern. 

black silk and lace vintage teddyYou may need an undergarment fit for such a dress though. You can't be expected to wear normal undies with such a fabulous piece! I found a sexy 1920's sheer black silk and lace teddy from Wear It Again to take care of that problem for you. You're welcome my sexy, sexy friends!
vintage women's shoes with contrasted color pattern and fringe medallion in black and tanFor shoes, here are the perfect pair of black and tan 20s heels with contrasted stitching and fringe medallions. I so wish these were my size!
black fur mourning cape with beaded embroidery and bone buttonBecause the dress and lingerie aren't exactly "warm", you may need a wrap to keep out the cold. Revival House once again comes to the rescue with this antique victorian seal fur cape. Embroidered black roses, intricate beadwork, and a very detailed bone like button make for a rare and luxurious find. 

To top it all off, I selected my 1920's inspired fascinator titled "An Affair to Remember". Fitting right?! The flapper hair clip has an silver rope accent made from an upcycled vintage earring, pearls and a pale ivory peony. I even used a vintage men's silk tie for the backing material that attaches to the clip.

    You are totally channeling the 20's. I love this entire ensemble. You know I actually read The Great Gatsby in high school. I am looking forward to the movie next year. Your newest follower here :) have an awesome day.

      Thanks! I could channel the 20s all the time. Or maybe the 40's. Okay, so I like all vintage! ;-)

    I adore this ensemble especially the flapper dress! One of my friends attended a 1920's-era theme party a few years ago and I was thinking how great an outfit this would make for something like that. So happy we found each other today--I'm your newest follower:).

      I had the chance to go to a 20's themed party and I was unfortunately out of town dancing for the weekend. Although the dancing was awesome, I was sad I didn't get a chance to go to that party!

    those SHOES. they're GREAT. I can't decide if I'm excited about the new film or not. . . I was an English teacher and I have firm ideas about The Great Gatsby :)

      Aren't they?! Love them.
      And, to tell you the truth, I'm not sure if I'm stoked about the movie for its film worthiness or if I'm really just going for the visual. ;-) Hopefully, it will be good on both accounts.
