Your bowtie will be hand-made by me... Hi, I'm Michelle! Each bowtie is cut from a different place in the fabric, so the design placement will vary slightly. On average each bowtie measures about 5 inches by 2 inches when tied. If you would like your bowtie longer, shorter, wider, or skinnier, I am happy to accommodate! Just send me a message before you order. I use a variety of fabrics to make my bowties, check this listings materials list to see which was used for this one. Also available as Necktie: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1216577075/scrabble-tie-scrabble-tiles-scrabble SELF TIE OR PRE-TIED The self-tied option is the option you see in the photos. This option can be tied, untied, & retied at your leisure! The pretied option is a self-tie bowtie that I tie for you, stitch the knot securely, & add a hook to the neck strap. This option will look just like the self-tied bowtie when you put it on. No one will know you didn't tie it yourself! If you ever want to learn to tie your own bowtie, you can clip the two stitches on the back of the knot & it will be a self-tie bowtie. This is a great option if you are gifting the bowtie & you don't know if the person prefers self or pre-tied bowties. WHICH SIZE TO CHOOSE My sizing is based on dress shirt sizes. An example: if you wear a 15-inch neck dress shirt, you will want a 15-inch bowtie so, order the 12-17 inch bowtie. Measuring your bare neck will not result in accurate sizing as bowties are made to fit over a dress shirt collar, not over a bare neck (unless you are wearing it on a bare neck, then, by all means, measure that neck!) Buying this as a surprise & don't know the neck size of your person? in general, my smaller bowtie size fits teens, women, & men that wear small-large T-shirts. My larger size bowtie fits men that wear plus size T-shirts, older men, & muscular-necked individuals. (Those are just generalizations, please take some time to stare at your giftees neck & make an educated guess!) If you choose a size & it does not fit, contact me right away, I'm happy to return/replace it with a different size. SHIPPING Your bowtie will be packaged in a plastic gusset bag & shipped in a small sturdy box (pretied) or a manilla envelope (self-tie). The bowtie strap may have creases when it arrives. If it does, you can iron the bowtie on low heat. Priority & Express shipping is available at checkout. Keep in mind the time it takes me to create the bowtie does not change, only the shipping time is reduced with these options. CARE INSTRUCTIONS: -Self-tie: Dry cleaning is best. If you machine wash the bowtie use a delicate, low heat, or cold water cycle. Dry on low heat. It will need to be ironed after washing. Repeated machine washing will fade the fabric. -Pre-tied: It is not recommended that you ever machine wash a pretied bowtie. Dry clean or hand wash only.
