DescriptionShallow-crowned, brimless hat of a soft, dull pink color. The crown is covered in satin mounted on a wire frame; satin and felt artificial ostrich feathers swirl around the sides, covering most of the hat. A narrow piece of very open net covers the front. The hat is lined in pink faille, and the edge of the satin is finished with grosgrain ribbon. Covered "V"-shaped wires secure the hat above the wearer's ears.
