| What kind of bows do ya'll lilke? Hey guys I need some input and suggestions before I launch my new dept. As some of you might know, I have a website where I make and sell dog clothes & accessories. Well my next new thing is going to be dog bows (this is how I get to make my yorkie a tax right off lol). My little baby Chloe is going to be the model when she gets a little bigger but for right now I have been using my best friends male yorkie(slightly gender confused thanks to us) to model the bows. So far I am just sewing them from the fabric that I use to make my dresses out of so they will match. What I want to know is what do you guys look for in a bow? What do you want? Do you like sparkly ones, fabric bows, ribbons, little satin flowers, etc...... throw me some ideas on what you would like to see in my website. Here is a picture of rambo in one of my bows that matches my dresses

| Hi Shana, I recently wrote to you about your beautiful bows and requested that you offer them on the smaller barrettes - these seem to stay in my yorkie's hair better than the double loops. Your website is beautiful! Schultzee FL |

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I LOVE little patterns - like flowery material ...then I love the double look of clashing colored bows too...I could go on and on here but since your making them to match outfits - Sparklies !!! |

| I like the ones with little barretts,they are the only ones that stay put,the double bands do a flop sideways,also I am always on the lookout for boy/man bows,I have both boy and girl,also little for my girl,she is tiny,ans has a tiny head,boy is big,he weighs 4 lbs so size is not so important for him |

| This may sound stupid but what are double loops? So far, I have been using actually barrettes that clip. They have stayed in our model -rambo's hair without him even having a rubberbanded ponytail. My chloe doesnt have enough hair so I have to give her a ponytail first. So what is double loops?

| Just wanted to tell you you have great Yorkie clothes. Whatever bows you choose I am sure will be great. Do keep in mind to have bows and other stuff for Male Yorkies too. ~Bella & Maria~ |

| I think it is a great idea to offer bows to match the dresses....let me know when you have them so I can order to match the dresses Tini got (which are beautiful by the way!). Definately make sure to give people the option to select either the mini barrettes or the latex bands. I would also suggest selling packs of the elastic bands as well....you can never have too many of those and it would be a nice thing to be able to order extras. Here are a couple of links to some bow packs I won on ebay...just to give you some ideas of what others are doing out there.... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...e=STRK:MEWN:IT Hope this helps and good luck. |

| Shana, I think it's wonderful that you ask our opinion on what we would like in bows. As long as the bow will stay in. I have been buying Maggie's bows in the baby dept. of stores. Who else has silkier, thin hair than a baby. So far, the little bows with clips have been working great. Also, the clam type clips on bows are great too.

| Oh, I love the sparkly ones you made for Chloe. Like some others here, I am also always looking for little boy bows. I only have one female but two little boys that have topknots so it's challenging at times to find cute little boy things for their hair. Dianne FL www.uyr.us |

| I don't think I've ever seen an ugly bow, the're all beautiful The many I have for Schatzie, my favorite one's are the larger stiff ones. They seem to have some sorta starch or ?? on them to keep them nice and sturdy. Also, I like the bows with trinkets (sp) on them. Like, gems, toy stuff, etc. Makes em cute! Have fun in your bow adventure!
