Measuring head size is very easy to do. Your head size is the measurement, in inches, of the place where your hat will rest when you place it upon your head; bearing in mind that it is the widest circumference of your head that you are measuring. To determine your own head size, simply take a cloth tape measure and beginning at the center of your forehead (you may at this point want to run and stand in front of a mirror), across the top of your first ear, around to the back/base of your head, across your second ear, and back to the center of your forehead. If you prefer to have your hats come down lower on your head, or for that matter higher, simply adjust the placement of the tape for a more accurate head size. Most women measure anywhere from 21-25 inches. Give or take a smidge. Also, if you don't have a cloth measuring tape, simply take a piece of string or twine, measure your head size in the same way as described above, and then lay this against a hard ruler to determine your measurement in inches! (This is a recent tip from a lovely lady who recently ordered her chapeau for Derby day!)
The good news with a MAGGIE MAE DESIGNS® chapeau is the "Silver Lining" feature. Each custom made hat at maggiemae.com (except for selected hats from the Unique Boutique Hat Sale) is created with an elasticized ribbon insert which can easily be adjusted to make your hat fit you well. So when you measure your head, don't worry if your measurement is a bit off. The "Silver Lining" insert will make up the difference. I created this wondrous feature when I started my business as a wholesale milliner to maximize the chances of my hats fitting a greater number of women. Since then, I have continued to use the "Silver Lining" because so many of my customers have told me how wonderful it is to be able to adjust the size of their hats whenever they wish. And I don't know about you, but depending on what sort of "hair day" it is or how hard the wind is blowing, I very often need to adjust the size of my hats myself to fit me just the way I want them to. And a good fit, is everything...
