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.
