We think these coloured prom dresses will inspire you.

Coral, blue, sage, red and lilac are perfect shades for this time of year. They have both a freshness and warmth about them. All you need is a cosy beaded cardi to keep the chill off and you are set.

Silk, beaded and jewelled flapper dresses

As you may have gathered the 1920's flapper dress is a huge trend in fashion right now.

Original flapper dresses are extremely rare and are priced as such.

They also tend to come in smaller sizes.

Despite this, they remain one of the most dazzling pieces of fashion history.

Dirty fabulous has a select range of original flapper and flapper style vintage dresses from later eras.

We also have many stunning accessories to add to any dress to add a spark of flapper glamour, perfect when adding a touch of authenticity to a high street flapper dress. Why not try a beaded shawl, fur stole, intricate headpiece or shimmering jewels.
