A girl and her demons.

The pic is small here but if you click on it you can see it full size. These are the characters I'm working on as my personal project for fun. I love designing devils. The girl is in a corset-type thing because I haven't worked out what her clothing should be yet. If anyone can point me to a good online reference with 1920s style stage costume I

Oooh, she's hot. :D
And the demons are cute.

I'd say googling for "flapper" should give you some reasonable references.

Uh oh, I suddenly want half the things on that site lol. I will have to live vicariously through my characters wearing them.

Hahahaha! Sorry! Guess we're in the same boat together.

queenortart has much paper-based reference to costume, and access to subscription-only sites, but might be able to help you out with open references.

I love the girl. She looks like her name should be something awesome and flappery like Irene or Ruby.

I was actually thinking "Angela" haha. For the reason that it sounds totally non-devil.

the folies bergere were variety/musichall girls in paris. Some really wild stage costumes.
See if you can find the film 'Pandora's Box' with Louise Brooks, she was an early bobbed flapper typ and there will be lots of photos of her too. Josephine Baker might be another interstihng person to look up.
There is a comm called Gothic 1920s which might have some interesting things http://community.livejournal.com/gothic1920s/
