Bonnets are machine washable and sturdy but we recommend a gentle cycle, cold water. After washing, lightly press with a warm iron if needed. Bonnets have a 5 1/2 inch deep brim, and a neck ruffle of 5 inches. The gathered cap is deeper and roomier by approximately 2 inches.
To lengthen the back neck covering, loosen the ties inside the casing. To shorten, tighten the ties. You will find he quality of the sewing are higher than imported products. The size is a medium/large which fits most women. If, however, you find that this is still too small, please contact us. Because we offer custom made bonnets, this expands your choice ranges.
