The heart-shaped bubble measures about 4 inches by 3 inches, has the "GUESS girl!" logo in blue frost, blue bell or red, and contains liquid and glitter. The round- shaped bubble patch, about 4 inches in diameter, has a red heart inside the circle, and is surrounded by blue liquid with the GUESS logo. Two rectangular patches containing dual color liquid of either yellow and blue or purple and blue, with the GUESS logo in black lettering. All the logos are applied to the front of various colored t-shirts. The collar label reads, "GUESS? girls" or "GUESS USA." They were sold in girls sizes small through extra large. GUESS?
