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 its thickness. The lines go over the shoulder parallel to the original line.

Behind the back of the neck, tie either a double-coin or a square knot (by far easier). You now have your shoulders, back and neck supporting the dress.

Take the running ends and tie the choker, another double-coin.

The lines can be wrapped under and behind, or around the neck strap.

Viola! You are done!
