A black brimless hat with glitter and rhinestones in a novelty print with swirls. The center of the swirls across the pattern differs with either glitter flowers or rhinestones adhered with metal grommets. The hat is machine stitched and has two side seams. The hat is lined with black acetate. Two pieces of plastic boning are placed along the side seams between the exterior fabric and the lining. Cardboard is added to the top of the hat’s crown also between the exterior fabric and the lining.
