Having a baby boy last fall threw me for a loop. Sure they are easier to get dressed... shirt and pants. Easy peasy. No bows. No headbands. Tights or frilly things. Just clothes. Whew! BUT, because I am the way I am, I needed more. I needed boy accessories! Not the kind that makes him look like he belongs on broad way or is a baby metro-sexual. No... I just needed a little extra than the same thing every day. I started shopping for patterns immediately. I was so excited to find bowties and suspenders! Perfect!! Add a little fedora and you've got a mini gentleman ready to take on the town. And he's pretty super cute at church too... if I do say so.
On Lemon Polka Dots I'm starting to build my bowtie inventory so all of the other little gents out there can have some accessories too! I haven't gotten many on yet, but after this giveaway and Instagram sale {find me at hethlarsen or shoplemonpolkadots to enter and get some great pricing!} my only focus will be the guys.
Bowties are currently sized at 3" or 4" lengths. The necks are adjustable with the handy help of Velcro and are approximately 15" around. I recommend the 3" bowtie for babies and the 4" for toddlers and even bigger boys. I have in future plans the idea to make them for bigger guys also. You are never too old for a bowtie! I can't get myself to label them as Baby or Toddler because every single baby is different... so I just use measurements. Makes it sound more manly right?? They are priced at $9.00 regardless of the size.
Suspenders will also be making an appearance! I love these. They are one size fits all since they are adjustable. Tell me... would you like to be able to buy matching sets of bowties and suspenders or mix and match yourself? This is my big dilemma. Pricing will be similar to bowties but that hasn't been ironed out yet.
