Description
A light pink bucket-shaped hat with bows. The hat features a high crown and a sloped brim. The base is constructed from buckram covered with a shiny light plink plain weave synthetic (possibly acetate). A band of pink chiffon fabric covers the brim and is tacked in place with hand stitches. Four chiffon bows are glued over the band at the proper right. The hat is lined with a synthetic (possibly acetate) light pink dobby weave in a diamond pattern. A metal wire is sewn along the interior edge of the hat, encased by a pink grosgrain ribbon. A light pink, crimped Petersham ribbon is sewn along the inner circumference where the crown connects to the brim. There is no label.
