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!!

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.

It does what it is supposed to do!
Nice quality. WIsh the fabric was a poly-cotton blend to avoid having to iron the crown! Washes nicely. Ties need to be MUCH longer!

Just nice, comfortable bonnet. Longer ties would be helpful - they're barely long enough to tie (unlike picture).

Simple. Easy. Goes with everything.
I ordered the mob hat for an event at Fort Nisqually, WA where period clothing was required for volunteers. It's nothing fancy, but it serves the purpose Shipping was fast.

Wish it was bigger
The sizing on this product was listed as one size fits most - but it really was too small for me. Why not add an inch or two to the diameter of the material and make it one size fits all?

The same with the Mob Hat, the elastic should be flexible to fit just about any size head. The material was not good. It was pretty though, everyone like it.

I was a little disappointed with the size of the hat. I was expecting it to be more 'puffy' therefore more fabric used. I would have also preferred elastic instead of a drawstring - so I will inserted the elastic myself.

What a simple pattern! It irons very well as it will lay flat - can't wait to use it with the swimming dress. My ONLY disappointment in this outfit was that the bloomers were not available and I had to buy a pattern and material to make a pair.
