A pale-yellow hat with a wide brim composed of two gathered organza layers. The crown of the hat is made from a yellow, transparent, plastic crin material. Rows of evenly spaced yellow stitches go around the circumference of the crown and part of the brim. A yellow ribbon separates the plastic crin crown and organza brim and ends with a bow in the center back. Yellow applique flowers with green stems cover the crown of the hat. A light peach colored Petersham ribbon is stitch along the interior crown. There is no lining on the inside and no label.
