Mother of the bride: matching the hat

Start with the fabric, pick the shade second, then decide on brim.

Size guide

Run a soft tape around your head where the hat will sit: a finger's width above your eyebrows and ears, across the widest part at the back. Snug, not tight.

Your measurement	What to choose
Stated on the listing	Each hat page gives the size or range it fits, from the listing. Match your measurement to it.
Between sizes	Add hat foams. They stick inside the band; use one to four to take the fit in.
Outside the stated range	Contact us with your measurement and the hat you're after before you order.
Size-marked pieces (M, L)	The size on that listing is the one that applies.

Between sizes? Hat foams ($15, pack of four) stick inside the band and hold it where you put it.
