The shoulders are gathered at the front and this same technique is carried across the neckline too

1960s Completely Covered Cabochon and Beaded Belt designer-valentino It snaps to close downThis adorable belt is a real showstopper. It is completely covered with plastic cabochon beads in turquoise and coral. Surrounding these are beads in purples and golds as well as those same two colors. At the front a dramatic fringe of bead work dangles and moves. It is like wearing a fabulous piece of jewellery around your waist. Hooks to close. I see no missing beads. The backing is separating from the front very slightly here and there at the edges
