So I'm pretty sure I wear this hat correctly, but I don't know what to do with the netting.. as you can see it's attached on either side of the hat, and it's in pretty good condition, but it's too short for me to put under my chin. Like it has too much tension and makes the hat look like this:

but I'm not sure what to do with it if not wearing it that way. Suggestions?

Vanessa, your hats are to die for.
Here is one I got a while ago. I tried it with my hair down and in an updo and I am not sure if it's a good hat for me. :(

When I visited my mom in Colorado last month, I got a job at a local antiques/curiosities shop to earn some pocket money. I struck up a real friendship with the woman who owned it, and she said she'd send me these. She had them up for sale in her shop and on ebay, but she said she'd rather give them to someone who would truly appreciate and even wear them, over than someone who'd buy it and let it collect dust.

I just moved into my new house and made contact with her...I can't wait to start getting them in the mail!

I believe there was one more, but it seems she's taken the picture down off her site. (It's similar to the pink one above, but smaller, white, and beaded.)

What an amazing collection!
The red one and the baby blue with studs are lovely!
