Entirely hand stitched white cotton. Small domed crown formed of strips of wide Valenciennes lace and broderie anglaise. Frills all around and two extra layers at ears, adding length at the ears -- all made of petal-shaped tabs of intensely embroidered broderie anglaise with buttonholed lattice effect around the edges. Spectacular.
