feather boas

Glamorous neck wraps

Feather boas are long, fluffy scarves made from feathers, worn draped around the neck and shoulders.

They're associated with theatrical glamour, burlesque performers, and costume parties: She wrapped a pink feather boa around her neck for the bachelorette party.

The name comes from their resemblance to boa constrictors.
