Do you want me to trim to 12 1/2 or send them as they are and let the new owner trim?
They will be in the mail tomorrow.
I would suggest to leave them, especially because of the applique. Then when the get to their new homes, the mommy's can starch and make them fit in with the new girls. I always like a little too big than a little too small.
