  We've been asked often how large a bonnet it, how to measure it for their baby, child or themselves and while we do our best to cut and sew generous proportions, everyone's child is different. Growth rate is different, the amount of hair and how thick it is is different and how we wear it is different.
  So, we've taken some photos to give you an approximation of each bonnet's size etc. You can decide from there after measuring your baby, child or yourself and choose which bonnet works the best for you :)
Baby Western Bonnet showing measurements


 
    To your left is a baby bonnet. We usually give an age of 4 weeks to 9 months. Some babies, being much smaller however, can possibly wear this for a longer period of time.
    The top to bottom measurement shows the cap to the neck casing which is 7 inches. From the back of the cap to the inside of the brim, it is 5 inches. The width of the brim itself is actually 3 1/4" and the neck ruffle is 2 inches long.
    The inside casing has a drawstring rather than many bonnets which have elastic. This lets you more control over how loose or tight you want the bonnet.

Baby Bonnet-Kermit the Frog Pattern

Child's Western Bonnet Showing Measurements
 

   This is a child's bonnet and we usually feel it's best suited for children ages 2 to 8. This means that actually a one year old can often still fit into a baby or might be large enough for a child's.
   The top to bottom measurement shows the cap to the neck casing which is 7 inches. From the back of the cap to the inside of the brim, it is 6 inches. The width of the brim itself has increased to 4 1/4" and the neck ruffle is 3 1/2 inches long.
    Also made with an inside drawstring casing for easier control over tightening and loosening the bonnet.

Child's Bonnet-Pink Butterfly and Flower Pattern

Women's Western Bonnet showing measurements
   The women's bonnet actually doesn't change that much from the child's bonnet other than the brim extends in length and the cap enlarges.
 The top to bottom measurement shows the cap to the neck casing which is 9 1/2 inches. From the back of the cap to the inside of the brim, it is 7 inches. The width of the brim itself has increased only one more inch to 5 1/2" and the neck ruffle remains 3 1/2 inches long.
    This bonnet, as with the previous two, also has an inside drawstring casing.
