INPUT ARTICLE: Article: The end in your left hand is end 2, and the end in your right hand is end 1. End 1 will be doing the knot tying, so recognize this as the tag line.  Make sure you give yourself plenty of slack. It's helpful to have a lot of string or rope to work with as you learn. You want to cross them so that end 2 lies over end 1.

You've crossed your two lines, so one line should be dangling over the other. Take the dangling piece and start to wrap it around the other piece. As you do this, the part of rope that you originally crossed will start to form a loop. So instead of wrapping that dangling piece (end 2) around end 1, pull end 2 through the loop and up to the left. This will create a smaller loop on top of the larger loop underneath. Keep the loops loose so you're able to get the line through the hole. Using your right hand, pull end 2 through the smaller loop. You should enter the smaller loop from the back and pull up to the front.

SUMMARY: Grab hold of both ends of the rope. Cross end 2 in front of end 1. Pull the tagline through the loop you've created. Pull the tagline through the smaller loop.

Place the straps so that they start two inches below the neckline of the dress. Pin them close to the top of the neckline, a little further down from where you will be sewing. If your dress has a lining, sew the straps only onto the lining of the dress. This way you won't be able to see the stitching when you are wearing the dress. If your dress does not have lining, make sure to use thread that matches the color of the straps to make the stitching less noticeable.
