How do you like bows on dresses? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Shanatink · 01-28-2008, 05:24 PM

Need your help!

I want to know do you prefer bows on dresses to be centered? or do you like side bows? or does it depend on the dress?

I'm on a huge side bow kick right now but I think its just becuase Ive been doing centered bows for 4 years so I've been doing it becasue its something different but I really want to get everyones opinions as Im currently making a bunch of new dresses.

Pic 1,2 & 4 are dresses with side bows and pic 3 is an example of a centered bow.

Also do you like small dainty bows or medium size bows?

Thanks in advance for your help

I like both! I might like the off-side ones just a teeny bit more, though

I like all the positions...I just don't like an overly large bow.

I like the side bows best. AHEM....Have you posted recent pics of Tess?

I like both (I'm sure that doesn't help

)

The side bows look cutesy AND the middle bows look fancy.. IMO

tumismom · 01-28-2008, 06:20 PM

we like small bows since my girls tend to want to chew the big ones..hahaha.

flgurl69 · 01-28-2008, 06:22 PM

I like both bows but it depends on the dress.

Guess that didn't help much lol!

As far as ribbon size, I like medium.

yoyo27 · 01-28-2008, 06:22 PM

I like them all but the side bows for now.

yorkiesmiles · 01-28-2008, 06:24 PM

I like the centered bows - because it looks more fitted and not like the pup has gotten the dress crooked.

MyFairLacy · 01-28-2008, 06:32 PM

I like both. So far as ribbon size, I like big bows normally...but not to where they overwhelm the dress.

yorkiegirl83 · 01-28-2008, 06:55 PM

I really think it depends on the dress where the bow should be placed

I love side bows, but the standard center ones are always pretty too!

ETA-- I'm clearly no help LOL!

MyTrixie143 · 01-28-2008, 08:47 PM

I like the center bows. The side bows just seem like they weren't put on right, lol.
But I do like side bows on other parts of the dress like the lower skirt part, I think it looks cute that way.

As for size of bow, I definitely like the smaller bows better. A big bow kinda over powers the dress. Plus when you have a small yorkie a big bow seems too overwhelming.

Funny you should ask! I was JUST looking at all the dresses and thinking about the SAME thing b/c I am Praying for a girl! And what I thought about the bows is this: I think it depends on the dress; some of them look cuter with it on the side and some def. look better with it centered. I don't like the thinner (narrower) bows too much. I think that the 3/4" is the narrowest that makes it look like a quality product. But I don't like the ones that are overly large for the dress either.
