A pink beret-style hat made from a light pink synthetic straw material. Two long-stemmed synthetic pink roses are adhered along the back and right side of the hat. The rose petals are made from pink polyster velvet and metal wire is used to secure the flowers at the proper right side. The interior of the hat is unlined. There is a light pink Petersham ribbon stitched along the interior crown. A cream-colored fabric tag stitched to the center back over the Petersham ribbon reads [Clover Lane] in black text.
