The plastic strap that is supposed to go around the back of my head ripped off immediately. I can still wear the tiara, however, because it is clamped together so tight It will basically grip your head which, yes, could get annoying/uncomfortable  after a while. I recommend stretching it out which is what I plan to do by sticking it on a foam wig head for a few days. The details of the tiara are very nice though. It looks much better than the fabric ones that are out there. This one will need alterations for comfort but otherwise I still think its a good costume accessory for the price!
