Written Instructions:

  • Start with the waistband at the underbust
  • Flip the straps from the inside to the outside exposing the lining (as if you are making a cap sleeve)
  • Bring the straps to the back of your neck, cross them over each other, wrap them around your neck, and bring them to the back
  • Take the right strap and wrap it under your right armpit, creating a mock cap sleeve
  • Take the left strap and wrap it under you left armpit, creating a mock cap sleeve
  • Widen the straps and bring them to the front
  • Wrap the left strap over your left breast then dip down to the right underbust
  • Wrap the right strap over your right breast then dip down to the left underbust
  • The straps are now crossed over each other on your chest to create a sweetheart neckline
  • It is important that the straps are wide so they can be slightly overlapped at the underbust as you wrap the straps around your waist
  • At the center back, flip the straps from the lining to the face side
  • As mentioned, wrap the straps around your waist
  • Tie at the back with a double knot or a knot and a bow
