Light pastel green veiled cap made by Vanilla Beane. The body of the hat is constructed of a solid form around which light green cotton fabric has been wrapped in and overlapping design. This fabric has a number of small gray cylindrical glass beads sewn onto it. Overtop of this form is a pastel green netting, which is gathered at the PR back of the hat. At the gathering point is a three layered tight green mesh bow decorated with several mirrored circular sequins. The interior of the cap is lined with the same fabric as the exterior and the crown has a band of green cloth sewn around it. There is a white elastic strap affixed to either side of the interior of the cap.
