Black tie event with 1920s style

I have a black tie event coming up in May.
Unfortunately it's a 1920s/Gatsby/flapper theme... in general flapper dresses don't suit me! Any ideas anyone? Please x

You could wear silk palazzo pants.

Or this just came up when I did a search for Gatsby

Thanks. Not sure on either of those! Tell me more about the palazzo pants?!

They would still have been wearing longer dresses, soft in flow, so not just the beaded versions. You could be daring, although probably 30's and wear a tuxedo like Marlene Dietrich, or go for a more bohemian vibe. Search on 1920s bohemian and that might suit better style wise.

I adore these... very vintage looking but wearable again.

I have the emerald fan jumpsuit already, but I think it's more 40s?

or Velvet

I’m straddling to find any trousers

Red ones but not many left

Love those. Shame they don't have green available (I'm a red head and green looks really good)
