BGSC, at it again. →
Props to my brothers and sisters at BGSC! Great article and some really good pics.
Hopefully I’ll be available to rig in the near future. I can’t let my brat have all the fun.

Man, that was exhausting. A veritable orgy of new content. Happy New Year, all! I’ll add more detail to the posts when I awake.

NYE : twelve ties for 2012
The brat and I are staying in for NYE tonight. But we do have a project. 12 ties for 2012. Every hour, from noon EST (1 hour from now) until midnight we will be doing a different tie. There will be a slight delay in posting, but stay tuned.

I've got an itch..
It’s been far too long since I tried any new ties, yet the brat is away.
Anyone in the DC area want to get tied up?

Building Damaris : Section 1, redux (7/7)
Finally, we can return to the top strap created by section 1. We’ve waited this long because invariably, while tying, the dress has slipped a little. Make any adjustments, and then adjust the back knot so that it rests just above the zipper corset of section 3.
Pull these lines around front, and behind the center knot.
Pass these lines through and along the decorative knot, doubling...

Building Damaris : Section 5 (6/7)
Section 5 is the actual dress/skirt portion of the outfit. It uses the long loop from section 2 as the center post for the zipper tie.
Note how the zipper line is actually passed through the weaving of section 4. This connects the two sections to help keep it from slipping down the hips and ass.
After completing the wrap, tighten as usual.
Use the remaining lines from sections 4 &...

Building Damaris : Sections 2 & 4 (5/7)
Take the running end from section 2 and split the lines.
Double the lines over and use them to tie a double-coin, or other decorative knot.
This will become the decorative flair in the center of the section 4 waist belt.
Dress the knot so that one of the loops is at most an inch long. The second loop should be the length of the skirt for section 5, as it will form the center post for...

Building Damaris : Section 3 (4/7)
Section 3 is a basic zipper corset, using the short loop from the partially completed, section 2. Since this runs over a very large expanse of varied flesh, it is recommended that the zipper corset be built using a doubled over rope. This allows the construction to proceed from the narrowest part of the body, discouraging the rope from collapsing on itself during the wrapping.
Double the rope...

Building Damaris : Section 2 (3/7)
Section 2 is the lynch-pin of the dress. It anchors section 1 to the dress, is the center post for sections 3 and 5, and provides some flair to section 4. However, it is only partially tied at this point.
It starts with a doubled over rope.
Mark out the length of the corset, from mid-breast to waist, plus a little extra. This will be the center post of section 3.
Take the top bight, this...

Building Damaris : Section 1 (2/7)
Section 1 is the decorative neck and strap tie. It can be made arbitrarily complex because it can be done in advance and almost entirely in front of the wearer.
Double over your rope, then double it again.
The center bight goes between the breasts. This will be one half of the double-coin knot. Drape the halves over the shoulders and pinch the point that is roughly the same height as the...

Building Damaris : Overview (1/7)
Materials : rope. lots of rope.
If you have to ask, you probably don’t have enough rope. For my brat, we ended up using 54m (6 lengths) black and 45m (5 lengths) of red.
Skill Level : moderate.
Two of the five sections are any real challenge, mostly just a lot of rope to deal with.
Time : significant. (1.5 hours, total)
Lots of rope takes lots of time to wrap.

Damaris
A few days ago a friend asked for my input on a rope dress for the DC Fetish Ball. Her constraints were interesting.
She wanted to actually wear the dress throughout the night.
She needed to be able to tie it on herself, by herself.
Wow. A functional, presumably attractive, rope dress that actually survives a night and can be tied simply by one! I liked the challenge.
We threw some things...
