content: Trumpet-shaped navy hat made of braided tape sewn in concentric circles attributed to Mae Reeves. The hat's sloped body gets progressively narrower from bottom to top. A velvet cord is tied in a bow around the peak of the hat with a strand of faux pearls twisted around the cord. The underside of the brim is covered in off-white braided tape sewn to mimic the top of the hat. Navy grosgrain ribbon trims the interior bottom crown. There are no labels.
