Roaring 20s Night

[spirit rev]

Wondering 

On our upcoming sailing on the QM2, one of our gala nights is themed for the 1920s. When they had the Masquarde Night in the past there were masks for sale onboard. Do they have any 1920s themed props for sale?

No

 

Some ladies dress as flappers. Anything else is a bit over the top.

 

Most of us don't bother.

In the recent past we have seen a fair number of people dressing the part for Gala night when it is roaring 20s, both men and ladies.

As well as the flapper dresses, lots of accessories too including ladies headbands, gloves and cigarette holder (no cigarette of course).
Amazon sell a 1920s accessories set quite cheaply.

Always found less uptake for Masquerade Gala night, usually a few wearing masks though.

Accessory wise, Amazon sells flapper headbands and long faux strings of pearls,

 

I agree with Big Mac though in our experience, few dress in flapper gear [dresses].

You can also usually count on one or two gangsters and their molls. Can't say I'm a big fan - but if you enjoy that kind of thing, don't let me or anyone else discourage you. As for the main question: If you want any props, you'd best bring them with you.

For 1920s think Great Gatsby rather than Peaky Blinders. I've not seen either of these films/tv series but I can imagine both based on the trailers that were shown for them. Mr Google gives clear images too. In The States you probably weren't subjected to the trailers so try an internet search.

Ideally ladies glam up for a gala night and gents wear tux etc as in gala guidelines. If you want to be one of the 10% that follows the theme wear a beaded dress of anything between above knee to floor sweeping length and make sure men wear a tux suitable shirt and black or white tie.

 

My wife wore a heavily beaded dark blue mother of the bride ankle length dress last time, with a craft headdress from a specialist on eBay. She now has a green and a red below knee fringed and a cerise almost floor length to choose from as well and a black elastic head piece that will go with any of them. But if she was keen to wear something else that night the theme wouldn't stop her.

 

But; please, please!!! No guns; No Trilby hats! 🤣

They did on our recent QV voyage, but it was mainly tat, feather boas and flapper headbands etc, Better quality tat is available on-line.
