The bows are great quality and color,  alligator clips is not covered with fabric. I injured my daughters head when putting the clip in her hair. I reinforced the clip (see pictures) with some fabric ribbon and fabric glue (see pictures). Took a few minutes to glue, but it fixed the problem. I like the clips because the are inexpensive and qulity color and material, however, the clip NEEDS to be covered!! They are the (lenght) size of a standard pacifier.
