Top Five Gangster and Mobster Halloween Costumes for Women

Dreamgirl Pinstripe Mobster Gangster Costume, Deadly Dames
The roaring 20s had a lot more than Flapper girls looking for a good time, it was also the time of some of the greatest mobsters of all time. The 20s gangster look is one of the most iconic of all time, and makes a fantastic Halloween costume for men and women. There are some really cool costumes for women out there too, so to help you out I've collected some of my favorites here. If you are shopping from the UK or EU, check out these gangster costumes.

Roma Costume 2 Piece Gangsta Mama Costume
Dreamgirl White Pinstripe
Gangster Pin-Up Costume
The black and white pinstripe look is what most of us associate with the 20s gangster, and there are loads of costumes in that style available out there. My personal favorite is the sexy suspender suit Gangsta Mama costume featured above. You can buy the matching fedora hat here and the cute shoes you see in the picture here.

More of a slinky pencil skirt kind of gal? Well you are sure to love the sensual and bold Dreamgirl Gangster costume on the right. It has a slightly more unusual color scheme that is bound to make you stand out from the rest of the Family. Each set of this costume comes with the beautiful halter dress with attached tie, the white suspenders, a carnation pin, the gangster hat and the matching arm garter.

Dreamgirl Sexy Gangster
Costume, Mobster Boss
Not short enough for you? Need to show off a little more leg to get the boys running? Then take a quick look at the Dreamgirl Mobster Boss costume on the left. Each set of this costume comes with the sexy gangster dress and shorts, the feathered mobster hat, the form-fitting belt, red carnation and the cute matching choker. That's a tonne of stuff, making this one of the best value costumes out there.

This of course is another example of the black and grey pinstripe look which is so iconic of the era. Other styles of this costume that you can get include a two-toned dress with suspenders and the slinky 'Deadly Dames' costume at the top of this page. 

If you liked the white pinstripe look of the skirt above, but want a whole lot more, then check out the super pretty white pinstriped mini dress below. Each dress comes with the matching hat, neck-tie, and carnation pin. You can get the matching gloves here, and the matching shoes right here.

Top Ten Roaring 20's Flapper Girl Costumes

Forum Novelties Women's Flapper Costume Dress, Black
Looking for some cute costumes to help you act out the crazy decadence of the 1920's flapper scene? Whether you are getting ready for a Chicago themed birthday bash or setting up to replicate one of the lavish parties from the Great Gatsby, these roaring twenties costumes are sure to steer you right. Let's have a look at some of my personal favorites! If you are shopping from the UK or EU, you can find lots of flapper girl costumes here.







Asymmetrical skirts were a big part of 1920's flapper fashion, especially skirts that were longer at the back and shorter at the front. The three costumes above capture the look perfectly in three different styles - the one in the middle is my personal favorite! Each of these costumes comes with at least the dress and the matching cloche headpiece, so they are pretty good value.

Forum Novelties Roaring 20's Swingin' In Sequins Flapper Costume
If you are dressing up as Velma Kelly or Roxie Hart for a Chicago musical themed party, I recommend you check out the swinging black sequin flapper girl costume I've featured above - it's pretty close to the one that Velma Kelly wears in her musical numbers! You can get loads of matching accessories for this costume, such as cigarette holders, garters, and much, much more.

Adult Dazzling Flapper Costume
Here's another thing that saw a lot of light in the 1920's - tassels, tassels and even more tassels! Costumes like the one above were very common, and this is a really good replica of the style. This costume comes with the sexy dress, the choker, and of course the matching headpiece. Why not pair it with a cute white feather boa and a silver cigarette holder?

Dazzling Gold Flapper Costume
If you want something a little bit bolder, or if you are heading to the party with a friend and you both want to have matching yet contrasting costumes (it's a cool look!) then check out the costume on the right, a similar costume but with a beautiful gold color base instead of silver.

Red Flapper Costume
Each set of this costume comes with the amazing dress, the choker and the matching gold cloche headband. You are sure to be raking in the chips!

On the left is a slightly altered style of tassel adorned flapper girl costume, with a more pronounced tassel skirt and a beautiful sequinned upper dress. The bold red color is also a nice touch, and is sure to make anyone wearing this piece stand out the most at any roaring 20's themed party.

Each set of this costume comes with the incredibly gorgeous red dress as well as the cute matching feather headpiece.

Snazzy Purple Flapper Adult Costume
Last but not least, if you are a girly girl who can't get enough of feminine colors in her Halloween costume, then you are in luck, since there are elegant girly colored versions of most of the costumes on this page! If you are a big fan of the tassels, for example, check out the lilac flapper dress I've picked out above. It's really quite beautiful, so I had to include it on this list.

Jazzy Flapper Costume
Last, but definitely not least, if you want a super girly, super bold and spectacular 1920's flapper girl costume, then check out the bold hot pink dress costume on the right.

This dress definitely wouldn't look out of place in the crazy scenes of The Great Gatsby, and I especially love the big pink and black feathered headpiece you get with the dress. It is really eye-catching.

So there you have it! Those were my top ten favorite 1920's Flapper costumes for roaring 20s themed parties. I hope you found one that is perfect for you and have a whale of a time. Make sure your party is large - it's much more intimate!
