Tropical Flower headdress / Carmen Miranda

AMAZING carmen Miranda / Frida Khalo inspired tropical headdress made from vintage 50s and 60s RARE plastic flowers. ABSOLUTE showstopper of a piece using plastic lilies and roses and foliage. 

Arranged on a stiffened felt base and elasticated with thin elastic which sits at the nape of the neck.
