The width is the length across the ribbon. The more common widths used are 1.5?, 7/8?, 5/8?, and 3/8?. Some the lesser used ones are the really wide ribbons in 2.25?, which make a really large and thick hair bow. Sometime ribbon factories make ribbon in 1? widths. This width is very close to the 7/8? and is sometimes hard to tell the difference. Ribbon manufacturing companies can come out with their own unique widths, but generally, these are your only options. The 1.5? width is a good ribbon width to start with because there is more to hold and work with. The 7/8? or 5/8? widths are good for making center knots for the bows. The 3/8? is a nice width for very little bows or they make a nice center for a larger hair bow.
