I purchased this handmade baby crown new and only used it for a few minutes during a one-year-old's birthday photoshoot, so it's in excellent condition. It has a soft elastic band, so my child was able to wear it without fussing. It's a very carefully made and adorable crown♪ *When shipping, I plan to slightly bend the pointed tips of the crown and wrap it in bubble wrap. Thank you for your understanding. Please consider purchasing if you understand that it has been stored at home. Thank you for reading to the end^^
