She's dressed Prime Minister John Key and what feels like half the flapper fraternity, so it's fair to say Lee-Anne Freeman knows a thing or two about doing Deco.
The owner of Charleston Chic in Napier had Mr Key's look all laid out so he could swing by and pick it up for last night's ever elegant Opening Soiree.
"A stripey blazer in rust and navy blue and a waistcoat," Ms Freeman says.
This year the rush started early on a Monday, not Thursday as was the norm for those who left sorting outfits for the weekend to last minute.
"It hasn't stopped, it's been fantastic - a real buzz, the cruise ship has been in too which adds to that".
Ms Freeman has been rushed off her feet and that's a good thing, particularly when she's competing with chain stores stocking Art Deco attire, following a roaring '20s resurgence brought on by a remake of classic film The Great Gatsby.
The difference is both authenticity of clothing - much of her stock is vintage, - and the fact you can get dressed from head to toe in one place.
"Flapper dresses are running out the door ... I have got a couple of different styles and they are just fantastic.
"I think it's the fun of it, it's a serious celebration I think everyone should have a flapper dress in their wardrobe.
"It's just a gorgeous style, from a great, glitzy era."
Popular ladies accessories included fringed scarves, long beads, drop earrings, bangles, clutch bags, gloves, a bandeau headband, and a cocktail or cloche hat. Shoes were strappy or court with a closed-in toe suitable for dancing or strolling.
"We have lots of headbands and parasols, it's really sunny so if you don't want to wear a hat a lovely lace parasol is the ticket."
This year she made sure to get some smaller bits and pieces for the men, too.
"There are so many great accessories for women, but not as much for men - we have stripey waistcoats, aviator goggles, round glasses and boater hats."
Art Deco dressing comes with a few rules and tip, s though of course it was up to the individual just how authentic they wanted to be.
Satin and velvet, sequins and feathers are reserved for ladies' evening wear, as they are today. For day time a shift dress in light fabric with simple accessories will do nicely.
Gentlemen attending a casual occasion could pop on a blazer, long-sleeved shirt, light coloured trousers with wide legs and turned up cuffs, braces, neck-tie, bow tie or cravat, brown brogues or two-toned shoes and panama or felt hat.
Street wear was a dark suit, double or single breasted blazer - plain or striped - with white shirt, neck-tie or bow tie and black shoes.
For a classy event you can't go past a traditional dinner suit with black bow tie, waistcoat and white shirt or a very dark grey or blue lounge suit.
Alternatively an evening suit with tails, white waistcoat, bow tie, top hat and cream or white scarf - always paired with black leather or patent leather shoes.
Gentlemen should always remove their hat, scarf, and gloves before entering a room.
