Carmen Miranda Hat for Adult Halloween Costume - 3.7 out of 5 stars from 6 customer reviewsToo Funny!
I bought this as a Christmas present -- yes, someone's Christmas list actually had a "Chiquita Banana hat" on it. The person making the request is way too young to know who Carmen Miranda is, but I knew immediately and thus started my quest to find a reasonably priced hat.
The base of the hat is slightly stretchy, and it is a snug fit on a larger head but not uncomfortably snug. I could see this fitting someone with a smaller head as well because of the stretch factor. The two-tone sequins (red and purple) create a perfectly silly but joyful base for the real stars of the show: the glitter fruits. The grapes on this hat do not drape as much as shown in the picture, but maybe that's because the person here who was wearing it has a larger head. The glitter did not come off excessively even though it was handled a whole lot the first day, but the feathers at the top rear are a bit touchy and have the tendency to fall off. These were easily repaired, however, with a dab of...
Good
The hat was what I expected, except the grapes don't hang as much as in the photo. The only issue I had was that the seam of the hat had started to come undone, so I had to sew it.
Saucy Hat
I used this hat for a theatre production. I hurriedly put it on over 15 times without tearing all the fruit off. Although it was designed for "costume use" it really held up pretty well considering the abuse it took and looked sparkly and pretty under the stage lights. I am saving it for future costume use. It is made of synthetic fabric so it's really hot to wear.
