Purchased this hat for a white rabbit costume. When delivered the hat was packaged flat which worried me, but you just need to shaped it out a bit. The hat is of great quality and I'm sure it will last for years to come. The only thing I would say negative is that because it is a big hat and has a lot of material it gets hot very quickly. It's a bit hard to wear the hat comfortably all day or all night because your head gets so hot.
