The hat is cute. It was a hit with my son (Yes I know this says "princess hat" but it looked like a genie hat to him like in the movie Aladdin. The fabric is durable and the band around the headpiece has elastic all sewn through it so it will adjust to a child's head ages 4-7. My MAJOR complaint is not with this hat, which is just adorable. My complaint is the way the seller packages this product. AND YES I have sent a seller review about it, but I feel it's fair to warn potential customers about the possibility of this seller damaging the product they are selling before it reaches their customers.
This hat was SHOVED into a propriety mail, box the size, shape, and thickness of a book. Think- paperback. There was NO protective bubble wrap, no clear plastic clothing baggy, no packing paper, NOTHING. It was shoved unprotected and STUFFED into this tiny box. As a result of the man handling of this product two of the feathers on the front were broken at the base of the embellishment. I had to use scotch tape to reinforce the quills and then hot glued them back into place. ALSO the beads on one side had been ripped from the side of the hat due to forcing it into the box. I fixed that real quick with a gold safety pin for now, I'll be re-sewing a stitch around the beads once I get some gold colored thread from the fabric store.
Had it been sent to my house properly packaged and in good condition treated with RESPECT as a paying customer, I would have been much more thrilled in my review because this hat truly is adorable and my son loves it very much, I'm just so mad that someone was so thoughtless to not make sure their merchandise was sent to their customers in not just a timely manner but took the time to PRETEND like they cared if it got to their customers in good condition.

THE CONDITION OF THE HATE I GOT: Gets 3 stars due to sellers own careless packaging, the fixes I had to make, and the utter lack of respect for customer satisfaction on the sellers part.
