A purple chiffon accessory with flowers. The accessory (a) is made of multiple layers of purple synthetic chiffon which is gathered at the center and tied with thread at the bottom. The edges of the chiffon are incased with plastic wire and secured with purple machine stitching. A pink flower with black dots and six petals is adhered to the center of the accessory. Three synthetic green leaves with a coating are sewn on top of the petals. Both the petals and leaves are pressed with lines to mimic veins. A plastic green setting is adhered to the center of the flower. A dried yellow flower (b) was originally adhered to the center of the fabric flower. Adhesive and tape are placed at the center bottom where the chiffon is gathered.
