Pretty bows bring on a special degree of cuteness to dresses – it does not matter where it is placed – back, front or the sides. These bows can be added to any dress very easily with a sash.

You can easily turn a plain or an austere dress to a romantic, feminine outfit with a sash bow, just like that. You just need to do some easy maneuvers with the sash to tie it into a super cute bow; the steps to do this are outlined in this tutorial.

How to tie a Sash Bow
Step 1
Keep the sashes crossed with the left sash over the right one.
Step 2
Bring up the left sash up from under the right one. Keep the left sash there.
Step 3
Form the right sash into a small loop as in the picture.
Step 4
Bring the loop to the right side
Step 5
Bring down the upstanding left loop over the right sash which is a loop now on the right
Step 6
Now take up the left sash through the space under the right sash loop, (through a loop you will find just under the right sash loop)
Here is a better view. When you pull on the two loops – the left one you just pulled from under the right one and the right sash loop – you get a pretty bow. Tighten as you think is proper and spread the loops and arrange the bow petals to get a neat look.
