How to make a goddess scarf/wrap dress

Step 8 Thread ribbon through, wrap and wear

This part is purely experimental I am afraid, and it really requires an instructable of its own. I may need to draw some diagrams at a later point.

You can tie it with pretty much anything that will fit through the loops you have made. Thick ribbon is the easiest, but you could also use cord, a contrasting scarf fabric, or even a long strand of costume beading.

I have included a few images to give the idea of the different ways you can wrap and wear this dress, but the basic idea is that you thread the ribbon trough the two seams you made above the bust and then cross it over your back, wrap it round the front and then to the back again.

You can also wear it toga style, over one shoulder, with the open wrap part at the side, rather than the middle.

Have fun, experiment and play lots, and if you come up with any nifty new ways to wrap and wear the dress please link to your images in the comments, I would love to see them :)

Very nice looking :) I think I might shorten it a little and try it out for a wedding I have to go this weekend!
