Perfect colors for what I needed as well as very thin rope style for smaller framed person.  You do have to first make a knot before making a bow because the bow comes undone like shoelaces if you don't make the knot first. However having said that, its such a minimal and insignificant action to make the knot first and its so worth it to have! It can really dress an outfit up and I get complimented on the added touch.
