I wanted a hat as part of a costume for a Victorian party. The picture of the black hat has more adornment than the one I received. The hat I received had only a bow that attaches with a velcro patch. There is no string on the inside for adjustments as one reviewer said they had. My hat arrived stuffed in a mailing bag inside a zippered plastic bag with instructions on how to "freshen your hat". It needed more than a freshening as it was quite distorted. I put a towel inside then put it on a lampshade and left it for 3-4 days. For the most part it did reshapen. Since it was so plain I purchased some adornments of my own. So the great price for this hat turned out to be not so great but I think I ended up with a nice looking hat (if you ignore the one area that, to me, still looks a little off. All in all I think I ended up with a pretty hat.
