AIBU to pretend this is a flapper dress for 1920s themed party?

I am going to a 1920s themed birthday party next month which involves looking the part. I would prefer not to have to spend money on a dress I'll never wear again. Could I get away with wearing this one that I already own, instead of the classic "flapper"-style dress? I would add a headband, gloves, beaded necklace etc. Or should I suck it up and buy a dress for my costume?

It's not flapper, I'm sorry. You could pass as from the time period but not flapper. A simple black knee length dress could be acessorized to be flapper

Yes it would work
