At the same time, despite the convenience of the new images, they retained their splendor and luxury. If we talk about the main elements of the Gatsby style for girls, then it is important to note such characteristics as:

• lack of emphasis on the waist (in some cases, the waistline itself can be greatly underestimated);
• the length of the dress or skirt must be below the knee;
• the fit should not be tight, on the contrary - the distinctive feature of the images is their free cut and so on.

Outfits in the style of "The Great Gatsby" are suitable for every girl and woman: both young (20-30 years old) and elderly (57-60 years old) representatives of the fair half of humanity. Clothing that matches the fashion of the 1920s is suitable for overweight and skinny ladies. That being said, there is a variety of wardrobe items that you can dress in if you want to match a given style.

In general, dresses in the style of the 1920s are especially eccentric and extravagant. The presence of sleeves in dresses depends on several factors: first of all, on the age of the girl. So, young representatives of the beautiful half of humanity can wear sleeveless products, while for older ladies these elements (sleeves) are mandatory. Dresses with thin spaghetti straps made entirely of threads are considered especially fashionable and stylish.
