Shopping for my Flapper costume has been mostly successful with the exception of finding a long rope of pearls (cheap).
I was very pleased and impressed with myself when I bagged a NEW 20's style dress and cloche hat (the only 2 must-haves on my list) for about $15, within an hour of beginning my quest.
I "splurged" on one accessory, bought some cheap cosmetics at the dollar store, and I'm planning on crafting another accessory tomorrow...we'll see how it works out.
I didn't get what I wanted as far as shoes, but considering my good luck elsewhere, I won't complain too much.
Having said that...if you own some pearls (any length), or some close-toe shoes with heels, about size 6....you are my new best friend. Mind if I borrow them?
I just did a little test-run on my makeup, with the dress and hat...this is gonna be good, folks. We have a plan for a little photo-shoot tomorrow, so I'll definitely be putting up pictures when I can.
Its really kind of ridiculous how excited I am about this murder mystery...!

I'm completely jealous of you! It sounds like so much fun. I really love the style of the '20s.
yay! I'm excited. I love dressup.
So...heels. I have some dark pumps (sz 7) with about 1 1/2 inch heel. That's as high as I do :)
Pearls. A real pearl 12" strand. And then, a 100" rope of costume jewelry pearls intertwined with tiny gold beads. There's a tassel on each end, but you could probably make it into a necklace.
Let me know :)
That sounds promising! I will give you a call later today :)
I can't help you at all. But I can't wait to see the pics. Have fun!
I can't help you either. Can't wait to see the final result though!
I have a long necklace of fake pearls if you still need or want them.
Oh dress up parties.. I never had too much experience with that, although I wish I had.
Can't wait to see the pics,although I really wish you'd put up a video of you and your friends' acting! That would be hilarious (in a good way!).
