Rather than spending tons of money on a store-bought '20's garb, it's easy to transform an ordinary frock into a flapper outfit that's perfect for doing the Charleston in.

Transform a simple frock-style dress into one fit for a flapper with some fringe. Add a few layers of fringe to the bottom of the dress or add fringe down the entire length. Measure and cut several lengths of fringe that are long enough to go around the dress. Pin the fringe to the dress and sew it in place with a needle and thread.
