Flares around face, sits back on head with cylindrical crown and high center front brim, the inside filled with small white apple blossoms or the like. Crown covered with widely spaced, interlaced, double folded bias cloth strips; the brim is banded with woven strips of the same. More form a large ‘pom pom’ effect on either side.
