I searched for months for a great 20s-style dress for the Gatsby themed CARE Ball. Everything was either a chintzy costume of a $300+ beaded gown. I finally found this little frock on RTR and it did the trick! It was comfortable and easy to wear. The dress is two pieces: a black linen tank dress and a sequined lace over-lay. The waist is elasticized, so I pulled it down to my hips to get that drop-waist silhouette that was popular in the 20s. This dress wasn't a show-stopper, but I got a few compliments. It was a good compromise between a cheap flapper costume and a costly Sue Wong gown.
