Twice a year Governor’s Island in New York plays host to cool cats and jazz babies from all over the city for it’s bi-annual Jazz Age Lawn Party. From ladies in drop waist dresses and fascinators to guys rocking fedoras and three piece suits, it’s a scene straight out of a Fitzgerald classic and a wealth of fashion inspiration.
Channel your inner Daisy Buchanan with our gorgeous Flounce Dress or add a little flapper inspiration to your work week with the Kristen dress .
After decades of restrictive corsetry, the ladies of the 20’s were embracing freer silhouettes, try a modern version with our Drop Waist Dress.
And to top it all off check out member Domestic-divaonline’s amazing felt Flapper Hat or try our Fascinator Tutorial to make your own stunning head piece.
You can also inject some jazz baby cool into your wardrobe with the Ruffled Hem and Sleeve Dress or pleated front Shirtdress.
And we can’t forget the fellas! Boys can get instantly dapper with our David Bowtie and Jason Vest.

I know! I just went through all of the links trying to find the dress in the B&W photo! Love it. The pleated-front shirtdress is equally stunning and I think I might just have to make it.

Which dress is the one at the top right, the black and white photo? Is that the Shirtdress?

That is a photo of a participant at the Jazz Age Lawn Party – however there is a link in the post to the pleat front shirt dress which is similar in style only with long sleeves :)
