some are short, around a short inch, others got a bit longer and i m thinking maybe some of the outer ones needs cutting down.
but it def needs sum TLC later as its been washed 3 times and are not exactly feeling very soft.....

Also, I looked at your pictures again and it reminded me... I clipped all the way to the stitching being very careful not to clip the stitching. I made really close together cuts, too; probably not more than 1/4 inch apart. Hope this helps...
