A is for Attire

As you may know by now, Christine's Sweet 16 will be a 1920's themed party. 1920's wear is encouraged, many will be dressed up. This doesn't mean you HAVE to dress in 1920's attire, you are more than welcome to wear FORMAL attire. The whole point is to have fun so there's no need to go overboard or go broke for the party. We're offering several options if YOU decide to dress up, so please consider some of the following.

This is a themed event, NOT a costume party. This means NO "gangster" costumes, no guns, no inappropriate outfits. This is a formal event after all.

Girls:

Fringe dresses or layered dresses fit well into the theme and you can find such dresses in some stores. We found dresses at a reasonable price at forever21. Here are some examples:

Party City also offers a decent costume if you would like a cheaper option.

If you do not wish to wear a flapper dress, but would like to go with the theme you can always just wear a formal dress and add some flapper accessories. All is optional, you can always just wear a formal dress.
