Burda Style For people who sew

The dress should look something like this. I made more bias tape and I folded it in half and pinned and sewed it all around the neckline to finish the edges. For the finishing touches: Shoulder loops, I made 2" wide strips of fabric, folded it in half and made a seam, turned right side out and ironed flat, then I cut about 3" lengths and looped them around the shoulders. I sewed the ends together and stay stitched the inside neckline edge so it wouldn’t move around. For the bow: I used a 4" wide strip of fabric, and with right sides together, sewed up the middle, turned right side out, and pressed flat. Then I cut the ends on a slant, tucked in the raw edges at the bottom and topstitched closed. To attach, I folded the bow in half and made a loop, flattened it and hand sewed it. It kinda looks like a breast cancer ribbon.
