Sure you're going to be #1 on the FBI's most wanted list, but when they snap your photo, you're going to want to look like a real mob boss. Which is why you should definitely choose this Female Gangster costume! Tapping into the style of all the famous gangsters from the Roaring Twenties, this costume's got the style of a mob boss suit cut for women, and with all the costume details that matter. Think about what is the most characteristic thing about the gangsters from the 1920s. Yes, guns would be my first association, too, but I am talking about clothing. If you thought striped suits, you guessed right! The mystery and mayhem caused by gangsters in the 20s, 30s, and 40s have inspired recent movie and TV entertainment, from Boardwalk Empire to Peaky Blinders. Choosing a classic 20s or 30s gangster costume for men is as easy as combining a pinstripe suit, fedora hat, vest or suspenders, two-tone shoe or spats, and a fake gun. Well, you've done good. You moved from being a gangster moll to being an armed and dangerous lady. And now you've made it all the way to the top as a mob boss. It's a natural evolution, but only the best gangsters have the gut and the guile to take over a top crime syndicate. And you've passed the test! While we have so many ideas on how to put child flapper costumes to use, and we haven't even touched on the adorable concept of baby flapper costumes, it's time to move on to one of our favorite ideas, reusing women's flapper Halloween costumes for themed parties. Because, as we all know, reusing is the cat's meow!Each of them had a specialization! Machine Gun Kelly made a name for himself as a bank robber, who received his first Tommy Gun from his wife Kathryn Thorpe (aww, true love). John Dillinger went so far as to rob police stations, redefining what it truly means to “fight the law”. Of course, Al Capone thought much bigger. The term Mob Boss is practically synonymous with Al Capone, since he used his wits to gain control of the criminal underworld. A: A female gangster might be called a gun moll if she is a companion of a male mobster. Women themselves weren’t gangster’s that often, but many of them were accompanying crime bosses of the time. Q: Who was the most famous gangster in the 1920s? Are you hosting a bachelorette party this year? Your guests will thank you for a 1920's theme! Not only is it a great chance to swill Champagne and gin and tonics, but roaring 20s flapper costumes happen to flatter every body type and a wide range of styles. When your friends try on their flapper costumes in plus size, they'll be delighted to find that most of our flapper dresses are designed to hug and flatter at the same time. Those who don't feel comfortable slipping into one of our flapper dance costumes could even dress in an easy gangster costume! If you are a smoker, a real cigarette fits perfect with this combination. But even if you are not, you can acquire fake ones! Now, you can’t wear just any shorts but go with a striped variation to fit with the era. As for the upper body, how about choosing a matched vest with a shirt attached to it? Some costumes offer a single-piece combination, but you can also choose one of your shirts and wear a vest over it.

Cue the brass band, there's nothing quiet about these Halloween flapper costumes! No matter what style you choose, you'll look right at home shimmying in a Chicago speakeasy in these flapper dresses. Read below and we'll tell you more about the reasons a flapper costume is a must-have for any costumed wardrobe and how to make sure you get the right look for your roaring twenties persona! Would you like to dress a bit more formal, but still deliver a clear message that it is a female mobster costume? Here is the good news – that is more than doable if you choose your clothing carefully.

Well, it all comes down to this! Selecting your gangster Halloween costume isn’t always easy, since you really have to decide what kind of “criminal” you’d like to portray yourself as. Just look at all the real-life criminals of the 1920s. Chicago in the 1920’s. Al Capone and Dion O’Banion battled for gang supremacy, John Dillinger was in jail, plotting his return to crime as a bank robber and bootlegging was the best way to make some cash during the hard times of the depression. A lot may have changed since then, but the image of tough, Tommy gun wielding gangsters, still evokes a sort of romanticism about crime that your local law enforcement agencies probably don’t appreciate too much. Top secret leader of crime syndicate renowned across the country much? A-ha! We knew it. We knew you were the top gangster running the hooch, the one who makes the Tommy Gun sing like no other, and, of course, the one who's got the big timecabbage from the bank all holed up in the hideout. If you've achieved all that as a big time mobster, maybe it's time to make a name for yourself and be not so secret? Well, we got a costume for that! Many things marked the 1920s, and the unique clothing style is one of them. The era that was portrayed in the Great Gatsby novel was also marked by gangsters. Mobsters were into bootlegging due to prohibition, but also robberies, murders, and all types of other crimes.
