My sister (age 40) actually wears turbans in public from time to time, a la Cyd Charisse.  I bought her this turban without seeing it in person, and had it sent directly to her for Christmas.  Her comment:  "This is a ridiculous turban!  I'll wear it in the tub."  Upon pressing her further I learn it's cheap feeling and not as nice to look at as the pictures.  So, if you want a turban for a costume or in the tub, go for it, but it's not for public wear.
