I'm afraid it looks better in the photo than in real life! It is stored in it's own wicker basket, which was still perfect when I was a child, but the fastening is a bit broken now.

There used to be a fine lawn cap to wear over the hair but that has almost disintigrated now. Also two pairs of black slip on indoor shoes, one pair in leather and the other with a silk fabric finish. As a child they reminded me of the last sighting of the Wicked Witch of the East when her toes curl up in the film after she has been killed by Dorothy's house, as the shoes have been stored in the wicker basket inside the hat for decades and they now won't uncurl!
