How to tie a bow on a shirt dress

You can easily turn a plain or an austere dress to a romantic, feminine outfit with a sash bow, just like that. You just need to do some easy maneuvers with the sash to tie it into a super cute bow;  the steps to do this are outlined in this tutorial. 

There are many ways to make these sashes – checkout the post on making sashes – about 5 easy ways to make them. Add them to your dress and tie away

How to tie a Sash Bow

Step 1

Keep the sashes crossed with the left sash over the right one.

Step 2

Bring up the left sash up from under the right one. Keep the left sash there. 

Step 3 

Form the right sash into a small loop as in the picture.

Step 4

Bring the loop to the right side 

Step 5

Bring down the upstanding  left loop over the right sash which is a loop now on the right

Step 6

Now take up the left sash through the space under the right sash loop, (through a loop you will find just under the right sash loop)

Here is a better view. When you pull on the two loops –  the left one you just pulled from under the right one and the right sash loop – you get a pretty bow. Tighten as you think is proper and spread the loops and arrange the bow petals to get a neat look.

How to Tie a Half Bow

1. Grab both ends of the tie. Make sure the ends are even, unless you tie to the side. In that case, the end opposite to the tie side should be slightly longer.

2. Make the first loop like you would for any bow. Make sure the loop is pointing towards the opposite side of the side the bow will be on.

3. Wrap the other side around the loop. Begin to pull through from the back. It’s just like you are going to make a bow.

4. Continue to pull that side through until it comes all the way through. You should only have one loop and two ends hanging down.

5. Tighten and adjust as needed. Voila! You have a fabulous half bow.
