Seriously, I'm not 4 years old. I don't want teeny bows on my clothes.

They are ridiculous on my size 16 hip-huggers. A tiny little bow on my massive bloomers.

Cba cutting them all off, but I do often think they look pathetic Grin

I like a bow !!

Some of my pants have bows some don't, doesn't bother me either way.

But what I can stand is labels, I cut the annoying, itch making bastards off pant, bras and everything else.

I’ve never even thought about this, I can’t believe I’ve not even noticed! Just looked at the ones I’ve got on, lo and behold there’s a bloody bow 😅

Aw,poor little bows. What have they ever done to you? Grin

I was thinking recently that bows are not as common. None of mine (5 packs from m&s) have them. They’re the cotton modal ones maybe they’re too slippy?

I like them, I prefer my underwear to have little bows on them

I think they're pretty

Nothing wrong in that

@ThistleAmore
I mean - tshirts, really? Who hangs up tshirts?

We do. Mainly because we have fitted wardrobes but no drawers. Wink

I hang up t-shirts, I’ll be fucked if I’m ironing them and then folding creases into them!

@LongSummerDays and @SoddingUnicorns:

I stand corrected! Wink

SoddingUnicorns · 09/07/2018 20:54

@ThistleAmore I do get told I’m very odd for it though Grin

I HATE them. Bows. Unnecessary frills. Just why? I like my underwear to give me a smooth line under my clothes. It seems to be the default for 'naice' pants.

I end up going to Asda and buying a pack of 4 cotton midis in white and a pack of 4 in black. No bows and they don't cut in.

Don't get me started on the hanger loops....
