I'm wearing my hat now, and it's fine.  A little itchy, but so was the one that I loved and lost.  I don't like that there are two seams, so I wear them turned to the side.  The inside is green felt which creates a "dirty" background as the sequins are glued onto a red mesh and the green seeps through, so to speak.  Why don't they use red?  It feels and looks a little tight, but at least the band is lined with something soft, and not just the scratchy fabric back.  I wish the white band were fuzzier - it's flat, like in the photo.  The ball is a good size and not too large (sometimes they're so large they drag the hat off). All in all, it's fine, and the sequins make it cuter than average, but I'm still searching for that perfect hat.  I wouldn't be able to wear this for too long (itchy), and it's not appropriate to wear for warmth.  But it makes a cute first impression.
