For a giant Christmas bow, the right size depends on the display width and the space available for its tails. Measure your wall, mantel display or Christmas tree before ordering: a bow that looks balanced in a photograph may be much larger than your own space.
1. Measure the width of your display
For Soriell's burgundy satin giant bow, bow width is measured across the outer edges of the loops. Use a tape measure to mark that width in your chosen position. Leave enough clear space on both sides for the bow's shape to remain visible.
On a wall, consider nearby pictures, shelves and furniture. On a tree, compare the bow width with the branches at the intended hanging position, rather than using tree height alone.
2. Plan where the long tails will fall
Measure the available drop beneath the hanging position, then decide whether you want the tails to finish above a surface or create a longer, cascading effect. Keep door handles, walkways and floor space clear. Do not judge the size from a close-up photograph alone.
3. Compare the available sizes
The Soriell Burgundy Satin Giant Bow is offered in the following sizes. Measurements below follow the product's width × tail-length convention.
| Bow width × tail length | Approximate metric size |
|---|---|
| 18 × 75 in | 46 × 191 cm |
| 30 × 95 in | 76 × 241 cm |
| 35 × 118 in | 89 × 300 cm |
| 40 × 158 in | 102 × 401 cm |
| 40 × 198 in | 102 × 503 cm |
Start by matching the width to the display, then check that the tail length suits the space. These are handmade decorations, so allow for slight measurement variations. Check the product page for current options and availability.
4. Choose the fabric for the setting
This burgundy bow is made from satin, with a smooth sheen and flowing tails. It suits indoor festive styling where the rich colour and fabric can be seen clearly. Do not assume that satin is waterproof; for an exposed entrance, choose a product specifically described as suitable for outdoor use.
Keep fabric decorations well away from open flames, hot surfaces and operating fireplaces. A styled photograph is inspiration, not an installation guide.
Before you order
- Measure the display width and available tail drop.

Do all Soriell bows use the same measurement convention?
No. Read the notes for the exact design: some listings describe overall length while others specify tail length. The light blue stretch satin bow, for example, describes length from the centre of the bow to the end of the tails. Compare the actual measurement convention as well as the numbers.
