A frame is usually designed to more evenly distribute the weight of the tiara, and to prevent pressure points. However, the idea is also that the hair will be threaded through the frame to cover the more obvious portions of it, allowing for a higher seating of the tiara, more comfort, and with the frame not really visible. The shorter hairstyles of today are not helpful in the latter regard.
