1. Thread ribbon through arm hole

Start by threading your thick ribbon through one of the arm holes and out through the neck hole.

3. Tie ribbon around neck

Now tie the ribbon around your neck, making a nice bow at the back. This will create a halter neck top look.

4. Do the buttons up

You want to do the buttons up at the back like so, but if it’s too difficult, you could always get someone to help you do this.

5. Tuck the top in

The final step is to tuck the top into your pants - though don’t tuck it in too snuggly as we want to retain some of the flowiness.
