Bycockets are more versatile in sizing and you can often use two sizes small-medium or medium-large so feel free to choose from the range closest to your measurements. If you want to wear braids/veils under, remember to add room/measure for this.

To measure your size, measure the circumference of your head around the forehead, above the ears, and to the back of your head.
