Help me style this dress for a Prohibition-themed party

Bought this dress for an upcoming themed party. Any suggestions for shoes/jacket/hair/jewellery?

For info, I have long red hair, fair skin and blue eyes. Dress is emerald green. Yes, I know it’s technically the wrong era and is far more 30s, but 1920s style does nothing for me Grin

Great dress. Headband,with or without feather(s)and long gloves. Statement chokers /collars with pendants were in fashion for evening wear and would go with the dress . If you do a google search for 1920s fashion chokers and look at the Images, you'll see what I mean. I don't think a feather boa or long Gloria beads would go with the dress.

Something like this cape and a feathered headband?

I was just thinking that a cape or shrug is exactly what's needed here. That's beautiful!

If you go for long gloves, wear a bracelet over one of them.

Ooh a headband, long gloves and a faux fur wrap for me.

I think the hair is the main issue… bobbed or wavy it was generally shorter. Not sure if that’s an issue or not. You also need pretty dark arched eyebrows and red lips. I love Louise Brooks from this era although Clara Bow was great for curly hair inspiration. I’d find a fur trimmed coat and a headpiece of some kind. If you’re going curly you could use a silky thin scarf in your hair too.

If you have long hair, you can style it in a finger-wave bun. Lots of YouTube videos for this. You might also want a beauty spot!
