Very Nice Hat
I bought this hat for my wife's birthday to top off a suffragette impression she is building. She hasn't seen it yet, but it's impressive - black net over a black fabric base, lined in red satin. It has appropriate trims, including black ribbon, a small black ostrich plume, and black silk flowers. It could easliy be trimmed even more, but it's good to wear out of the box. It's appropriately large for the Edwardian period. All in all, a very nice hat!

Excellent Edwardian hat for a Suffragette costume
I purchased this hat to go with a ca. 1918 suffragette costume for Halloween. The hat arrived on time and was packaged very well. There was a strong odor (probably the dye) to the hat when it arrived, but after airing for a few days in my office the odor was completely gone. The quality is excellent in the lace, flowers, ribbon, and overall construction of the hat. It fit my 22 inch round head perfectly. I received lots of compliments on my costume for Halloween!

One size does not fit all
I wore this wore a pioneer event even though it was a bit too large for my head. There was plenty of space under the bonnet if one wanted to put hair up in a bun, but even with that there was plenty of space left over. That stiffer sides were a bit too large for my small head so they were not as rounded as I l would have liked when it was tied on. It kept the sun away better than the mop cap so I wore it anyway, It arrived folded so you may wish to iron out the crease at the top prior to wearing,

perfect for sunny days
I have the black and the white bonnets. I wear them frequently and get lots of compliments. What I like the most is the little bit of stretch in the back. It stays on even in the wind without having to tie it under my chin. I wear them both ways. Perfect for hot summer days!

As an ensemble member in Les Miz, I have to be able to change looks frequently. This bonnet is perfect for the period. Best of all, it does not jut out so far as to block lighting. Love it!!

I was told when I called in my order that I would receive the merchandise in 8 business days. Everything was sent and arrived in 3 days. That far exceeded my expectations considering I live on the east coast. Thanks!

Cotton Sun Bonnett
For $15.00 you can't go wrong. It is very lightweight and simple. I would wear it for a very casual occasion. It has very little shape, although the brim is still.

Great for our Costume Needs
This bonnet in black will be used as a mourning hat for the main character in our church play. Good quality and reasonable price. Arrived quickly enough. But it was very disappointing that the black duster that was ordered at the same time (in August) would not be available until Nov 15 and I had to cancel due to our play beginning.
