Costume Company On the Internet All Set to Usher in Twenties Nostalgia with Halloween Flapper Costum

Online, September 10, 2009 (Newswire.com) - Los Angeles Calif.

September 10, 2009 -- Costume Cauldron located at www.costumecauldron.com has announced a complete collection of adult flapper Halloween costumes and accessories to transport Halloween party goers back into the twenties era when the Model T was everyone's dream with which to spin and the Charleston was everyone's theme on which to swing.

The company's web catalog features over 10,000 adult Halloween costumes, children's costumes, costume accessories, props and costume party favors available from its online store. It serves a global customer community, which actively purchases a wide array of Halloween costumes from its distribution centers in the US and Canada that are delivered right to the customer's doorstep.

The flapper costume collection is the fruit of many months of historic period research so as to represent the twenties ambiance in as authentic a manner as possible, according to the company.

The decade of the early twenties, which immediately followed World War I, witnessed the incarnation of the new and flamboyant American woman who believed that freedom meant not simply a break from the past but also a newfound connection with the present with hopes of improving prospects in the future. The brightly colored and daring costumes of the era amply represent this transition. Costume Cauldron's headline flapper Halloween costume, the Flapper Black Md-LG, is a true-to-life flapper era feminine statement. It is an expertly adorned tube dress with an intricately beaded halter collar detailing, a feather headpiece and a cigarette holder. The costume is available in small, medium and large sizes.

Equally stunning is the Flapper One Sz, a glittering gold polyester sheath dress that is exquisitely covered with three rows of long black fringe. This Halloween costume outfit also features a sequin trim along the top edge of the dress and the shoulder straps. There is a zipper closure in the back for added comfort. This theme costume also includes a sequin headband with a colorful ostrich feather. This Halloween costume creation comes in one size that fits all adults. For those young ladies destined to become the hottest stars in their Halloween parties, there is the Flapper Fab Red Sm-Md, an artistically crafted and brightly accented metallic sheath dress with a fringe trim and a matching slip also with a fringe. Accessories, which accompany the costume at no extra charge, include a hip sash, fringe top, gloves and sequin headband with gem and feather decoration. The ensemble comes in a variety of sizes and is also available in black.

The grand finale in the company's flapper Halloween costume collection for the 2009 trick or treat season is the Charleston Queen 14 20 , a breathtakingly authentic purple dress, a chiffon over-blouse and a headband. Available in plus sizes 14-20, this Halloween dress is meant to create identities.

Flapper costume accessories at Costume Cauldron have been hand picked to go with every Halloween costume in this premium signature line. In the wigs collection, the company recommends the Flapper Black Wig, the Fingerwave Blonde Wig, or the Flapper Headpiece Black Feather, which also comes in red. These wigs are made from the finest synthetic fiber and are uniquely crafted to fit all ages. For young Halloween enchantresses wishing to show off their beautiful hair and so prefer a cap, the company offers several twenties style caps all of which are vividly represented in true colors on the website.

The term "flapper" first came to light in Great Britain after the conclusion of World War I. It was used to describe pre-teen girls who had not yet arrived at the doorstep of womanhood. There is a reference in the June 1922 issue of the Atlantic Monthly where Ms. Flapper is defined as a "fledgling in the nest." Reality, however, may just have been a little more far flung because by the mid 1920s, a new woman was born in the US. She openly bar hopped, smoked, danced all night, and voted for her favorite senator. She not only cut her long hair short but also wore her make-up during the day, and frequented petting parties. Feminism was in and subservience was out. Flappers were here to stay. "This overall paradigm shift in both attitude and mindset is clearly reflected in the costumes of the era Which we are proud to have been able to capture and recreate in our latest costume collection," remarks Matthew Lester, company founder and CEO, himself a veteran photographer who leverages his artistic talent to the hilt when envisioning every costume collection the company offers.
