A white brimmed hat with lace trim and a bow. The hat is made of half inch wide plastic net which spirals from the center of the crown. The edges of the net are machine sewn together. A small lace flower is glued to the top of the crown. A one and a quarter inch band of lace is adhered to the side of the crown. An inch band of cotton organdy cut on the bias is adhered to the bottom of the crown. A bow made of synthetic lace with a base of cotton organdy is adhered to the front of the hat slightly off set to the proper right side. A band of synthetic lace is adhered to the edge of the brim. The hat is unlined and unlabeled. A piece of synthetic trim is sewn to the underside of the brim which possibly marks the center back of the hat.
