Lady's light green and off-white floral pill box hat. Size 22. Green mesh hat frame covered with fake petals of various sizes and shapes. The petals are largely off white / cream, with various petals striped with light green. Smaller white fake flowers attached to stems are interspersed among the petals. All is sewn on using green thread. Base of hat is trimmed with strip of green velvet. Petals are largely in good condition and well-attached, some are yellowing slightly with age.
