The sleeves are long and fitted with just a hint of gathering at the cap and a bit of gathering up at the wrist. The high neckline has shirring at the front - these would look great with a brooch or dress clip. The body has the V under bust seam and bias cut fit of the 30s.

The Best 1920s Flapper Bandeau in White Velvet and Silver Beads
Lets just start with the fact that 1920s bandeaus are not
common. And are generally rather small and narrow. This is the best one
I have ever seen. Really. I mean it. This one is the Top. It is almost
white ivory velvet cord, wired to hold the shape and covered with
silver bugle beads. These are also wired to form the front crescent and
the fabulous cockade on the side. The cord around the back is soft. I
have seen one other like this in 30 years. And that one was black and
had just sold to a friend. And I know where she lives.
Label: none
Size: crown: up to a 22
Condition: Excellent. No spots, holes or signs of wear.
