The ribbon is covered with colorful flowers made out of folded fabric that is accented with faux flowers and sequins. Leaves embroidered in a variety of greens fill the space in between each flower. Metallic silver lace with sequins runs around the outer edge of the ribbon. Three large teardrop shapes of tambour stitching in bright orange are placed across the vest's back side. Each one has a matching pom pom beneath.
