Description

Semi-sheer white cotton cap constructed in two parts: the caul and the brim. The caul is gathered at the base of the neck, creating very slight fullness. Both pieces are embroidered with white thread in a pattern of leafy vines. The edge is trimmed with machine-made lace with a floral pattern. There are white cotton ties attached to each corner of the cap.
