That's a good idea, I wonder how that would work for me !
I may give that a try. Plus I think some of my dressed look better without a bow but I think people expect them. That way they have a choice and for the silky ones they wont get messed up in the wash. I do tell them to hand wash or put in a gentle cycle and flat dry.
My only concern would be that the pin come undone and hurt the pup.

I also have been moving away from bows, trying to mix it up a bit, I thought the multi colored ribbons came out cute, I machine sewed all that but then sewed the buttons on by hand. The bumble bee harness dress was made by someone else, I think the bow is cute and I know she does all that by machine including the button, I did not know you can sew buttons on by machine, but she does. I also am not a big fan of tails on bows, I think they cover to much of the skirt so I tend not to use those. |
Great verity of bows, that's for sharing Donna
