This is a sheer ribbon barrette made of chiffon. I wasn't able to photograph it well, but it's a much darker, more subdued color than in the photos, a navy blue that's close to black. It goes well with school uniforms. It can also be used for formal occasions. It came with a net that could be used to store a bun, but the elastic was stretched out, so I've removed it. I can include it if you'd like, but I will ship it without replacing the elastic. I don't think I'll use it anymore since I cut my hair short. It has been stored at home.
