A moll, or a gun moll as they were more commonly known back in the twenties, was a female companion of a male professional criminal, or gangster. The “Gun” was not derived from the firearm that they may or may not have carried with them, but instead from the Yiddish word meaning “Thief”. Meanwhile, “Moll” derives from Molly, used as a slang term for a prostitute, since the 17th century.
Despite the negative implications of being a “thief prostitute”, the gangster’s moll fancy dress is today a very popular choice for parties. Indeed, the gangsters and molls fancy dress is an especially popular choice for couples going to a fancy dress party together.
