Let me start off by saying that I am extremely pleased with the amount of care put into my order! A little hand written thank you and a free gift is a nice touch <3 Now let me continue by saying I was halfway expecting to get a knock-off item but this is very well made. you know how some headbands are too tight around the back, where it sits? This is not that at all, in fact i'd like to argue that if you're one with a lil larger than average head size, this will not squeeze you at all! It sits comfortably but is not at all lose! The ears are flat by the way ( I thought they were going to be poofed for some reason lol) But the cow/skull part is plushed and soft! Good quality, recommended buy for Kuromi/Sanrio lovers!
