What did real flappers wear? – 1920 Flapper Dress Patterns

The answer is that they had to choose between two things: the comfort and ease of wearing a headscarf or the safety of wearing pants. The former seemed to be a major priority of the flappers of their generation, who were constantly being attacked and threatened on the streets of New York and Paris, and by the British imperialists who were constantly bombing their country.


Today I am very pleased to reveal the results of research to mark the 100th anniversary of the creation of the International Flappers Association. This was an extraordinary achievement in the modern history of flappers’ associations, for it was the first organisation formed as a real professional association, whose purpose and purposeful activities were to provide professional guidance and training to members of the flapper community.

They had to deal with the Irish and also to fight against the racist attitudes of the colonialists who were very interested in maintaining the very backward social situation that had been created by the imperialist intervention of the British.

In the 1930s and early 1940s the Flapper International saw the emergence of a radical organisation. In particular we have the fact that in the 1930s both the Paris and New York flappers organised, and in the process established a relationship that they would keep up until the end of their lives with people of all walks of life.
