Ah, the 1920's... the age of the flapper, a new breed of woman. Her androgynous sexuality caused the kind of prohibitory moral stir that we can relate to in modern-day context only with infamous phrases like "wardrobe malfunction" and "Weinergate." This girl could vote! She smoked cigarettes in public! gasp! What better embodies her eternal spirit than the paragon of 20's literature, The Great Gatsby? Embrace the recklessness of Prohibition and channel your inner Daisy Buchanan with these Fitzgerald-echelon frocks, moonshine not included.
