White fabric cap on head, gathered at top, with multiple layers of gathered fabric extending from gathered top around sides and back of head. The gathered fabric on the cap has a ruffled edge and a semi-translucent layer underneath. A white ribbon extends from under the cap, tied in a bow under the mannequin's chin. The background is a plain beige color.
