My Lovely Flapper Dress

I am a stylish Flapper Dress of the twenties.
I’m made of silky satin and sheer floating chiffon.
I’m standing gracefully displaying sparkling glitter of the finest crystal.
Colors of sheer translucent taupe and delicate ivory cream-
These are the shades of my beautiful Flapper Dress.
My name is Mannequin-
I’m standing here waiting for a young Flapper Girl
to come and purchase me.
I do hope she loves to dance,
showing off the lovely fringe
on the hem of my beautiful
Flapper Dress.
“Would you like to try on this Lovely Flapper Dress?
“Yes, I’ll buy this gorgeous creation of satin and
chiffon.”
The year nineteen twenty-
Going to a dance at the Everglades Club.
“You look quite elegant tonight, my dear.”
As the old women looks through her
long handled lorgnette eyeglasses.
“Thank you,”
Is my snobbish reply.
I turn, my head held high, glide across the floor
in my
Lovely New Flapper Dress.

Love and Hugs
Bon-Bon

To be lovely and own a flapper dress.
We should all be so lucky.
Great read, thank you for bringing me to a time I did not experience

I have seen pictures of my mom in a flapper dress and elderly lady friend of mine was cleaning out her cedar chest and she had a delicate taupe Flapper Dress. It was beautiful.
Glad you enjoyed.
Bon
