Fabulous outfit and makeup perfection! How did you do your eyes? The boa and necklace are outstanding with the dress and your hair is gorgeous. Well done!</p> <p>Fashiontern, I think MOTG can also stand for Mom On The Go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867777 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 13:00:24 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1867777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me “MOTG” is Mother Of The Groom. That probably isn’t what you mean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867732 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 05:34:07 +0000 anne 1867732@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Runcarla. I had plans to wear it again for sure, though my thoughts were going on a more casual line than yours, so not wedding, but casual Fri, dressier MOTG and church (but church is pretty casual for me) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867696 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 02:17:19 +0000 Carla 1867696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Following the evolution of the look was so much fun. I hope you got told how beautiful you are a whole bunch of times. I also hope you don't see that dress as just a costume. The cut and colour are lovely for an evening out, a wedding, church, etc. Since your friend said you can keep it, I hope it goes into rotation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867694 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 01:58:45 +0000 anne 1867694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fashiontern, at that point I was just relieved it was over - she took 45 minutes and the queue was backing up!! I really didn't evaluate it, though I had curious people popping into my office to have a look during the afternoon (I was one of the first to have it done)</p> <p>I think it's probably mostly&nbsp;just a lighting issue. First picture was a selfie in the bathroom.&nbsp;</p> <p>Though on second thoughts I do remember feeling quite pale and theatrical and that is was weird, but I thought might be good for an evening venue. Probably had worn off a little by the second photo too, since I was home by then.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867683 Wed, 13 Dec 2017 01:25:37 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1867683@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m curious about the makeup, because it looks great in the final pictures, but in the first shot right after it was done, I thought the pale, nearly white look was not flattering in the least. How did you feel about it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867657 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 23:47:25 +0000 Caro in Oz 1867657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE!! The makeup is amazing on you :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867447 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 11:33:23 +0000 anne 1867447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the compliments ladies!</p> <p>Suz - great to hear your thoughts on the drop waists. It reminds me of one of our very first interactions on YLF - about pants and skirts and rises. Anyway if you think we can carry off drop waists that's very encouraging!&nbsp; I've wanted to get a sweatshirt dress or tunic for a while and a lot of them are drop waist and that's been putting me off.</p> <p>Angie - K to K!!!!&nbsp; &nbsp;Wow. Thanks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867362 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 02:55:26 +0000 Anonymous 1867362@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Omg great job! From where you started with the dress I did not see that coming at all!</p> <p>You look gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867350 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 02:21:06 +0000 Beth Ann 1867350@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way you styled your dress -- the headband, boa and pearls add a bit of fun, and the light shoes echo the pearls!&nbsp; Brava! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867300 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 00:49:34 +0000 Suz 1867300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>K2K indeed. My very favourite ever!! You look spectacular in the 20s makeup, that dress is killer as party wear and beyond, and wow wow wow wow-- what fun!!</p> <p>PS drop waists also work really well on me (body double). I think it is because we have the shoulder line and small bust -- it fools the eye, actually, into thinking our legs are normal (because a drop waist is dropped on everyone, right?).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1867295 Tue, 12 Dec 2017 00:36:23 +0000 Aida 1867295@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SO FUN Anne! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866699 Sun, 10 Dec 2017 01:18:08 +0000 anne 1866699@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Anna and Rachy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866661 Sat, 09 Dec 2017 18:48:06 +0000 annagybe 1866661@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>WOW!

Totally perfect flapper makeup. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866500 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 23:30:55 +0000 Jenni NZ 1866500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore that makeup and you looked so fantastic in the whole outfit. You have a great figure for that style. It is difficult for shall we say the stouter matrons ( which I'm becoming if not already become) to look right in 1920s but I have seen it done well in Napier at Art Deco and there are websites that explain how! Your headband is really good. I bought my cobalt one at Art Deco weekend itself, could not resist since I already had the cobalt dress. Your shoes were perfect too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866486 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 23:06:16 +0000 anne 1866486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks ft, Jaileen, Angie and Karen.<br />I felt dressed appropriately and got some compliments. I wasn't as glitzy as a lot of people though - lots of gold on black or white around and some gorgeous headpieces.<br />Only one other person wore gloves. I have to admit though, that they were hot, as was the feather boa. It was over 30 C. After I visited the photo booth I took them both off. They also got very grubby very fast!!<br />I bought that colour because that's all the shop had, but black would have been more practical - should any of you be in that position.</p> <p>The party was fun, but I didn't stay late (I left before 9) as I it was so loud I couldn't really hear anyone talk. Not that much I could eat either, so filled in the gaps at home with a bowl of GF porridge! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866355 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 16:51:49 +0000 karen13 1866355@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing!! Gloves, shoes, headpiece are perfect. I love the way the gloves math the shoes. And your make up is gorgeous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866337 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 16:01:27 +0000 Angie 1866337@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne:&nbsp;</p> <p><b>KILLER to the Power of KILLER</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866316 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 15:09:48 +0000 JAileen 1866316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Perfection! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help/page/2#post-1866309 Fri, 08 Dec 2017 14:50:04 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1866309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adorable outfit and pose.

It kind of worked but I'm going to try out the other one tomorrow if I can manage it.</p> <p></p> <p> Will do some trying on tomorrow! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help#post-1865113 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 16:36:50 +0000 karen13 1865113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anne if you can put together a headband like jenni’s #8, that just says flapper to me. </p> <p>Jenni - what fun pics. I so so so love the black and white lace ups in 6. You have the best shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/flapper-party-help#post-1865076 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 14:31:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 1865076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jenni NZ, I’m sighing at #3. You look great, and I love that porch. There’s a bit of Art Deco in Florida. It, and art nouveau and Jugendstil are all great, I think. I also love #7 because you created the right impression combining a few keys pieces just right. </p> <p>If fringe was just for clubs/nightlife, then it sounds like a good choice for a party. </p> <p>Anne, sounds like the fun is starting long before the official party time, what with all the borrowing and swapping of styles going on. Have fun! </p>
