- Bandeau
A
Bandeau is a simple band of cloth worn across the breasts, providing
little support or shaping. In other words, it is a strapless garment
worn around a woman's breasts. It may be fastened in the front or back
or be sufficiently elastic so as to have no fastener at all.

The bandeau has been worn since Roman times. In the
1920s the term referred to simply as shaped brassiere, usually of a soft
fabric and delicate trimmings providing little support or shaping. It
was sometimes made of an elastic material to flatten or suppress the
breasts in the style of the period. When this went out of fashion, the
term brassiere or bra became the term for more shapely support garments.
