Ponies with ribbons

[rayedelsol]

I am so in love with all of the vintage photos of G1's with ribbons/bows on their tales. Do you have any photos of yours? Also, can anyone HELP me get one on mine LOL Is there a secret? Or is the secret in the type of ribbon?

Please spam with ribbony goodness!

I put bows on all the tails of my ponies, they look so sweet! I'll get pictures for you

Stalking ebay is the secret for the odd "ribbon" lot if you want genuine MLP or a trip to a haberdashery if you just want to add ribbon to your ponies

I am sure someone will be along with pics - I already spammed another thread with the only ribbon pics I have uploaded unfortunately.

And accessories are the best

Kinda embarrassed, I had to look up "haberdashery" 

I really just love ribbons and bows I swear I wasn't girly as a child, so I think I am making up for it now. I did a spa day for my only two G1 girls, and added bows, but I don't know if they'll stay. I was wondering if the satiny ribbons are better than the stiffer cottony ones? Anyways, still stalking for pics

P.S. hathorcat: Which thread? I'd love to see

Cats right, accessories and ribbons  are life

Aside from buying original MLP ribbons, Offray's Spool-O-Ribbon is super cheap, comes in an array of colors, and the 1/4" woven edge (edited cause I am stupid and forgot 1/8" is small) is a near match to the original MLP ribbons.

Here is an old picture of my German Swirly Whirly with some of the Offray ribbon.   I will see if I can't find some more lying around, and take a picture with some genuine MLP ribbon.

Torture and bribery were indeed involved

I adore this set - I think Dawn looks so much prettier when she is all "done up"

My princess Dawn is my fave princess, she's mint but needs her accessories.
Here is my Ice Crystal with his original ribbon:

Original Ice Crystal ribbon - that is still an epic find Party!

[partypony566]

Yeah and I didn't even know it was his ribbon til you told me!

Here is a picture I just took of Posey with an Offray ribbon (the ends aren't tidied up, and she has been wearing the thing for ages, but I thought it was a decent enough example), and Whizzer with a genuine MLP ribbon (it actually belongs to TAF Fifi, but Fifi didn't want to be photographed).

The major difference I see (aside from length and cut, which can be adjusted on the Offray to match MLP) is the shine... the Offray ribbon seems to be shinier.   Also, as I mentioned they come in a huge array of colors that Hasbro never produced... my G3 Cinnamon Breeze and G3 Lickity Split have brown ribbons in their tails, because I decided to match their main eye color.

A line up of some of my G1s I just snapped, with ribbons on:

Edit:   ARGH!  I resized them in Photobucket, but it is not taking for some reason, sorry about that!  *fixes*

I'm in love! Especially your group shot, MercuryStar!  They are so cute! My ribbons are Offray, but they are more cotton. Looks like yours are the satiny kind? I'm going to have to go back and look for different ribbons

[MercuryStar]

Thank you!
I am not really sure, Rayedelsol, I just went crazy and bought them whenever Michael's or JoAnn's was having sales on them.   Never paid much attention to whether they were considered satin or not, lol.   I mostly just bought the 1/4" in multiple colors.  I might have a mix, for all I know... a lot of my ribbon is packed away at the moment, and with the exception of Whizzer and Swirly Whirly, the ponies pictured came with their ribbons (from the sellers/traders).    They all have Offray ribbons, except for Whizzer and Angel.
I am not sure what brand Angel's ribbon is, it is a rougher texture, and very matte compared to even the genuine MLP ribbon.   

Edit:  I believe the spools I bought are made of Polyester.

Edit2:  I failed fractions... lol
