notes: label: Description
content: A pale pink hat with feathers and rhinestones. The hat is made of one piece of blocked wool felt. The hat fits closely to the head and has no brim. The construction of the hat is asymmetrical as there is a crease on the proper left side of the hat. Pink feathers decorate the front of the hat at the proper right side. These feathers are adhered and stitched to brushed flannel that is hand stitched to the hat. There are six rhinestones interspersed amongst the feathers attached with adhesive. The inside of the hat is unlined. The edge of the hat is folded to the interior and secured with a machine stitched wide black grosgrain ribbon sweat band. There is a label on the center back of the hat along the interior grosgrain ribbon that reads [Pinehurst NEW YORK].
