What's in the Box

One feathered headband with white ostrich plumes, iridescent sequin band, crystal star brooch, stretch elastic fit

This Adult 1920s Flapper Headband brings authentic Gatsby glamour to your costume with three white ostrich plume feathers, an Art Deco crystal star brooch, and a sequin-embellished elastic band that catches the light with every turn. It's the finishing touch for Roaring Twenties parties, Book Week Gatsby characters, or any night that calls for vintage sparkle.

The iridescent sequin band creates a holographic shimmer effect — silver, pink, and rainbow hues shift as you move. The crystal star brooch sits at the centre with geometric Art Deco detailing, surrounded by smaller rhinestones. Three fluffy feathers fan upward from the base, secured beneath the brooch. Elastic stretch fit means it sits comfortably across the forehead without slipping, and the sequin work is stitched onto a flexible band that moves with you.

Perfect For

Book Week & Literature Days: A natural pick for The Great Gatsby, Bugsy Malone parades, or 1920s history projects at school.

Gatsby Parties & Vintage Events: New Year's Eve galas, speakeasy nights, Charleston dance parties, Art Deco themed weddings, vintage costume balls.

Theatre & Performance: Stage productions, cabaret nights, flapper dance performances — the crystal and sequin details catch stage lights beautifully.

How to Wear It

Position the headband low across your forehead (classic flapper style) with feathers angled upward and slightly back. Pair with a dropped-waist dress, long pearl necklaces, and finger-wave hair or a bobbed wig for full 1920s effect. T-bar heels and dark smoky eye makeup complete the Jazz Age look.

Parent FAQs

Q1: What size does this fit?

A: The elastic band stretches to fit most adult head sizes comfortably. It sits horizontally across the forehead rather than over the crown, so hair volume doesn't affect fit.

Q2: Will the feathers stay secure through an event?

A: The feathers are stitched into a fabric base beneath the brooch and hold well through dancing and movement. Avoid crushing or sitting on the headband when storing — feathers can be gently fluffed back into shape if flattened.

Q3: How do I care for the sequins?

A: Spot-clean only with a damp cloth if needed. Don't stretch the band excessively when not wearing it — store flat or loosely looped to preserve the sequin stitching. The elastic will last longer if you avoid pulling the band wider than necessary to put it on.

Q4: Can I wear this for a Book Week teacher costume?

A: Absolutely — it's a standout piece for teachers dressing as Daisy Buchanan, Jordan Baker, or any 1920s literary character. Pairs perfectly with a vintage dress or blazer for a polished Great Gatsby look.

Care: Spot-clean only. Store flat to protect feathers and sequin work.
