Often, everyday clothes become so boring that you want something new. But not everyone can afford to buy new things. In order for any clothes to "play" in a new way, it is necessary to add something unusual to the image. If it comes to a blouse, then you can beat it by changing a brooch, pendant, scarf.
But what if you want to update the look of your coat? Here everything depends on imagination and desire to experiment. Looking ahead, we will talk about how to tie a belt on a coat so that it is effective and non-standard.
A little about the coat
The fact that a coat as a type of outerwear for the seasons autumn - winter - spring has long been popular is probably obvious. For many seasons in a row, designers of world fashion houses have been presenting to the public new models, colors, a variety of lengths and collars.
Such coat models have become popular:
- oversized;
- classic style;
- capes, capes, ponchos;
- grunge.
Each of them a woman selects solely based on the merits or demerits of her own figure... For example, a classic wrap coat with a belt will suit absolutely any type of figure, here the right choice of color and material already takes place. But a coat-coat with an oversized belt should be chosen individually. Perhaps the belt will be inappropriate here, or this style will only reveal flaws in the figure.
But if a belt is provided in the coat model, then it is he who will become the accent in the transformation of the usual way of wearing, the main thing is to determine its appropriateness.
How to tie a belt on a coat
For a long time, a woman in a coat with a belt at the waist was considered the embodiment of femininity and charm.
An exquisitely tied belt will emphasize the figure from the advantageous side - to highlight the relief of the hips and waist.
But how can you tie it correctly? The word “correct”, starting after the end of the Soviet Union, has basically ceased to exist when it comes to fashion trends. But at the same time, many support some of the classic options for wearing this accessory to a coat. But do not confuse with a belt, as these are completely different options for belting.
Since there are belts that consist of a different material than the coat itself and have different widths and lengths, all tying options will look completely different.
1. Satin belt. Used in many models of cashmere coats. Usually the color of the belt contrasts with the main one. It is good to use if necessary to emphasize the volumetric waist.
2. Wide belt. It won't work to make a bow, but it looks great if you make a regular knot. Suitable for slender ladies. It is better not to use it full.
3. Narrow belt... In this interpretation, it will look great on any shape. Various tying options are possible.
4. Long belt. Suitable for slender ladies. It can be wrapped twice around the waist and tied in a knot, it is also possible to tie it into a bow and release long edges.
There can be many options for belts; every year there is a new trend in wearing them. But if you just have your own style, and not following fashion trends and trends, then common methods will help to change the type of tying. Style is an invariable part of the personality that should not suffer from unsuccessful decisions with accessories.
Classic version
After putting on a cozy coat, the process of tying the belt begins. Just a knot is not a classic, but a boredom. And here is a knotted belt in the style of "pioneer tie" (meaning the style of tying a knot). This method will hide the knot itself and will look neat. The binding point in the classic version should be located in the front center.
Unconventional option
When wearing a non-classic coat, you can tie a belt with a careless loose knot, which should be located on the side. This kind of tying will give a slight ease to the image and will look quite interesting.
Tying a bow
How to tie a belt on a coat with a bow? It's very simple. This uncomplicated method of tying a belt is possible if it is of sufficient length. If you have skills in tying shoelaces, then for sure there will be no problems with the belt. The principle is the same here. The size of the loops can be adjusted as you like. In order to get a pronounced bow shape, it is best to reduce the size of the loops, and leave more to release the edges.
You should not place the resulting bow in the middle, but this does not apply to the case when the coat is flared from below. In this form, the image will be logical.
Tying with a half bow
The scheme is the same as with the bow. Only now one end is released from the loop and released. Only one loop remains (half of the bow). This rather simple method will look original on belts of different widths.

If the belt is shaped like a belt
A belt is also a belt that has accessories (fastener or buckle). It is also used to girdle coats. Here there are ideas for the original tying.
Thread the belt into the buckle, and wrap the free end around the base and release it down;
Do the same as in the previous case, only form a knot from the free end with the ending down;
Just make the knot as described in the unconventional version, ignoring the buckle;
Thread the belt through the buckle, then form the free end into a loop. Step by step it looks like this: release the end up through the bottom of the belt, wrap it in a loop and return the free edge down.
The figure eight will also look unusual. You can wrap the free edge of the strap around the strap, as if describing the shape of a figure eight.
These basic methods will become a solution from the commonplace and move towards diversity. Of course, the above options are not the same, and in no case should limit your imagination.
Style is an invariable part of the personality that should not suffer from bad decisions with accessories.
How to wear a coat with a belt
You can wear a coat with almost all wardrobe elements - trousers, dresses, skirts. The importance of the coat model should be noted here.
An oversized model with a belt will be able to “play” with ankle-length cropped trousers and ankle boots, a skirt and dress will also fit into this ensemble, but it is desirable that their length be slightly longer than the coat. Do not wear oversized skirts with floor-length skirts.
Models of the classic style of a coat with a belt shimmer with a variety of interpretations of combination with other wardrobe elements in the photo of pages of glossy magazines.
But what if you use only skirts and dresses? So this is a great combination under a coat of such a model. The length of the coat and dress itself does not play a special role here, since everything will look harmonious if the dress and coat are longer.
But you need to be careful with trousers: classic pipes or narrowed ones are suitable for straight models. They will not fit a flared coat, skirts and dresses will be relevant in this case. If the coat is floor-length, then the clothes that will be under it will not spoil the appearance in any way.
Poncho and similar models can be combined with any clothing except jeans. Products from it should be selected very carefully if the choice fell on a poncho.
Capes, on the other hand, look great with denim pants. Pants are not excluded. But skirts and dresses should be selected with a knee-length sheath type.
conclusions
As much as you would like to tie a belt, you need to feel harmony within yourself. Then the appearance and image will delight the eyes of passers-by, and deliver a comfortable feeling. We also recommend looking at. Choose the right style and feel unbeatable.
A belt or a strap for a dress has long ceased to be only a functional element.
These are accessories with the help of which you can completely change the image created by familiar clothes. Playing with shape and color gives endless possibilities for women's fantasy.
When choosing a new belt for your favorite dress, you need to take into account the texture of the material, matching styles, color combinations, and body features. Such accents on the waist look great even on the outfits of affordable brands, for example.

You can even decorate and make stylish a luxurious bow that you can literally create from junk, for example, paper, old curtains or T-shirts.
Free loop
Suitable for light leather, leatherette and some fabrics (except for smooth and slippery fabrics such as silk and satin).
The wide long belt can be folded in half, wound behind the back, with the loop and both ends in front of you. We insert the ends into the loop and release.
A free loop on two sides differs from the first option in that the ends are threaded through the loop towards each other.
"Free loop"
Polubant
The sequence of movements should be as follows:
- We put the belt behind the back, hold the ends in front of us.
- Bend the end brought out from above down the outside and start it under the freely hanging second end.
- Having measured, on the part of the belt held in the hands, a distance of 10–20 cm from the place of intersection with the free end, we make a fold - we got the eye of a half-band.
- This eyelet must be threaded into an even knot, which appeared as a result of step 3.
When tying an asymmetric half-bow, you cannot pull equally at both ends. The resulting knot will not look aesthetically pleasing.

Depending on the style, style of the dress and the belt itself, this accessory can be located below the waist or above. This accessory can visually adjust the figure.

What is an accessory
Previously, the belt was worn and tied exclusively for its true purpose. Merchants fastened bags of coins to it, peasants belted their shirts. He also performed protective functions, protecting the owner from the evil eye and bad thoughts.
He was also taken and used at the christening of the baby. It appeared in ancient Egypt, where for a long time only pharaohs and people close to them could use it.
In each individual country, the girdle was given a special, individual meaning. Somewhere it was considered a symbol of purity and naturalness, and somewhere it was a symbol of a healthy mind. From the very beginning, it was intended only for the men's wardrobe.
Definitions such as belt and belt should not be confused. The difference between a belt and a belt is that it does not have any buckles or holes that allow you to fix it in its own belt. It is very easy to tie it in a knot, and release the edges in "Free flight".
In fact, we can conclude that the belt is one of the varieties of the belt, only slightly improved.
We tie the belt on the coat correctly
A belt on a fur coat must be worn exactly at its predetermined place - at the waist, which in this way can be either emphasized or indicated, if it is difficult to see it under outerwear. You can also slightly raise or lower its position in order to visually "stretch" the body or focus on the lush breasts.
The most fashionable options for outerwear
Designers and stylists do not stop decorating clothes and shoes, as well as details of the entire wardrobe. These include accessories on the coat.
The following options have been in fashion for a long time:
- Narrow leather (most often they are found in the form of a strap). This option is ideal for fragile petite girls and slender ladies. Black leather ribbons in combination with light outerwear look chic and very elegant. In combination with the rest of the color schemes, you also need to focus on contrast. Such accessories are most often made in the form of a strap with a miniature buckle; the edges of the belt can be tied with a bow.
- Wide leather. They can be with a large contrasting buckle or other decoration. Usually such models have hidden fasteners - in the form of hooks or Velcro. Most often they are made from leather, suede patches, dense fabric or the material from which the coat is sewn.
- Tiered straps. In this case, several straps of the same or different matching colors are put on the outerwear at once. The belts can be crossed or run parallel to each other (in which case it is worth to sew on eyelets or connectors for them).
- Cloth. Especially relevant for summer and light coats. The fabric from which they are made can be the same as the fabric of the coat or be harmoniously contrasting with respect to its color scheme. They can be beautifully tied with a simple knot or bow.
2 basic rules for how to tie a belt beautifully:
- For warm models of outerwear (coats or fur coats), it is better to choose dense, medium-sized models. Prefer simple knots or rivets and hooks;
- For thin summer models, study the diagrams of how to tie a belt on a coat beautifully.

Such an accessory plays rather a decorative role, but allows you to draw attention to the waist, which will certainly play into your hands.
But for this you need to learn how to choose and tie them correctly:
- Satin fabric. Relevant exclusively for summer species. Atlas is simply irreplaceable for those with a slightly wide waist. In this case, it is better to choose a darker color scheme. And try to tie it with a bow, it gives the image of femininity, elegance and romanticism. If you do not plan to use it as a decorative element and want to divert close attention from the waist, then it is better to pay attention to neutral colors (close in shades to the tone of the coat) and tie it with a simple knot.
- A long. Ideal for girls with a graceful, refined waist. For a complete look, you need to wrap it around the waist a couple of times, and cross the ends together and straighten it. You can also make a loop by folding the strip in half. Then pull both free ends into the same loop and tighten.
- Narrow or medium-sized leather. This option will decorate the outerwear of girls with any type of figure. This option is worn exclusively at the waist and you need to use a buckle with which you can firmly fasten the ends.
- Thin. Suitable for skinny young ladies, because they allow you to visually make a voluminous figure. Take a strip, wrap one end of it twice around the main circle and cross it and the turns together.
- Wide. Knit straight at waist level. It makes the figure more expressive. This option suits slim, graceful young ladies and girls with magnificent, prominent breasts. Experts do not recommend wearing such a model for women who are overweight. A wide ribbon can be tied with a bow or supplemented with narrow straps on top. It is worth experimenting with summer types of coats, tie it with a bow and beautifully dissolve its tips in the back, and not as usual in front.
How to tie a belt on a coat beautifully: a step by step scheme
As a rule, the following steps must be performed after the belt is fixed on the coat in any convenient way:
- Twist the free end of the straps with a spiral. It is better to tuck the end inside.
- Try to wrap the free end of the belt twice and tuck the "excess" under the belt.
- Do not pull the strap into the buckle. First, tie, and then thread the edge of the strap into the buckle from the inside and fasten. Leave the tip of the strap free.
- With the free edge, make two large turns around the belt and hide the tip inward.
- Wrap the end of the strap around the body in a spiral. Hide the end inside.
- Wrap the tip of the strap in a wave-like, smooth motion around the waistband. Waves can be of any size.
A belt is not the last detail in a woman's wardrobe, which can be useful not only when necessary, but will also be a worthy "highlight" in the image.
Stylists claim that a girl with any type of figure can afford to emphasize her waist, only for this you need to find the right accessory. When the color and material are selected, it remains only to figure out how to tie a belt on a dress beautifully. There are many different kinds of knots, and each has its own time and place.
Who should emphasize the waist
There are a very large number of styles of feminine outfits in the world. Many of them require jewelry and accessories, such as those that highlight the waistline. What can they be, with what and to whom to wear them?
- To match alongside - with the help of this, you can model a silhouette without dividing the figure with a strip into 2 parts; especially suitable for those who cannot boast of the "hourglass" shape.
- Contrast - only for owners of a flat belly.
- In the form of a scarf - an informal option for fragile ladies.
- Long, thin with decor (for example, beads or metal tips) - for midi or maxi made of flowing fabrics, looks best on a plain background.
- Wide - can be worn with any style and length, but not suitable for large girls.
These are not all varieties, therefore, before tying a belt on a dress, you need to make sure that it fits both the figure and the chosen clothes.
Lightweight fabrics
Lightweight materials are ideal for hot weather. With their help, you can make a great thing to girdle with it in the summer. The easiest way is her.
- Cross the edges of the fabric and throw one after the other (this is called a simple single knot).
- Make a loop on the lower one, and throw the upper one behind it and pull it out with the loop.
- If you fold not one, but two loops on each side, then the bow will turn out to be more magnificent. It looks good when it is made of a plain fabric with a contrasting wrong side - it seems more voluminous.
There is another way how to tie a bow on a dress on a belt: first a single knot is made, and then 2 loops at once - on the left and on the right side, which are again tied together and tightened. This method allows you to adjust the size of the loops.
It is appropriate for a girl in a simple summer dress to gird herself with a long cord. There are 2 options for how it can be positioned at the waist:
- Wrap around the body first back, cross behind the back and stretch forward. Make a regular or double bow in front.
- If you want one side of the cord to hang along the body, then you should not twist it 2 times. It is enough, wrapping it behind your back, throw the cord forward, stretch the left or right side to make it longer, and tie it with an ordinary single knot. Then wrap the short part around the long one and thread it into the resulting loop.
The second option, how to tie a long belt on a dress, will visually lengthen the figure, even if a thin cord falling down will be on the hip line.
Sash and strap
Sashes and belts, perhaps suede or leather, are more suitable for winter outfits. Often they use some kind of additional jewelry: brooch, buckle, etc.
Sash
The sash is a very fashionable model today. It is wide in the middle, and gradually tapers towards the edges. There is a universal way to tie a wide belt on a dress:
- attach the wide part (middle) to the stomach;
- wrap the narrowed parts around the back and pull forward;
- make 1 single knot, then another, but pull out not the very tip, but the loop;
- you should get a half-band.
A leather or suede sash looks best tied in this way, because it is comfortable (there is no piling up in the abdomen) and at the same time unusual.
Slim strap
The slim strap is versatile. With its help, you can create a huge number of options for "waist design". Sometimes they even put on several of them at once, weaving them into a pigtail. But the most interesting are the following options:
- Make a free knot not far from the buckle (do not tighten). Then, pulling one end of the strap through the buckle on the other, it must be passed through the prepared knot and tightened.
- A loop is made on the free edge (already pushed through the buckle). Then it is wrapped once or twice near the buckle and pushed into this loop.
- Wrap the loose edge of the strap around the buckle and hide it under it - it will look as if the strap has no edges.
A properly chosen belt can decorate an image, hide figure flaws and turn an ordinary outfit into a festive one. But if the accessory is chosen incorrectly, this will ruin not only the whole image, but also the whole event where the girl is going.

There are a lot of types of this accessory! Belts are twisted from laces, woven from leather strips, embroidered with beads, cross stitch and satin stitch, woven from threads, riveted from chain mail details, made from beads and lace, sewn from light materials or leather.
The forgotten fashion for corsets returned in the 20th century thanks to the founder of punk style, British designer Vivienne Westwood. A little later, the singer Madonna drew attention to them, appearing on stage in a fashion accessory from the French fashion designer Gaultier.
Details matter!
What long dresses are in fashion now?
The variety of materials makes it possible to produce the most varied in shape and decoration products. Let's see which models are relevant this and next season:
- Classics of the genre - leather or hard braided belt with a buckle, up to 5 centimeters wide.
- Corset belt - helps to highlight the waist line, to give the image sophistication, or, conversely, some frivolity. The corset can be worn with business, wedding, evening dresses, and even with mini-length club dresses, the main thing is to choose the style correctly.
- Sash, borrowed from the men's wardrobe. It is a rather wide and long belt, often tapering towards the ends. They wear it wrapped a couple of times around the waist, decorating the ends with a bow, half-band or knot on the side. The design of the kushaks is very different: Russian fashion designer Natalya Zaitseva for feminine forms combined with fur inserts and leather; but the studio "Bisou by me" prefers to decorate their belts with an abundance of rhinestones and brooches. Sashes are also found in the collections of famous fashion houses D & G, Pinko, Hermes.
- Rubber, medium or very wide with an expressive buckle. Only worn at the waist. It came into fashion in the 80s of the last century and to this day remains a favorite women's accessory. Not surprisingly, because the elastic belt fits well on any figure (however, curvy ladies should avoid a wide elastic belt with a bright buckle). This model goes well with knitted and crocheted dresses.
- Satin Wide Belt in fashion at all times. It will serve as the perfect complement to an evening, cocktail or wedding dress. Due to the overflow of material, such a belt does not need decorative elements, it is an ornament in itself.
For women with a "triangle" figure, it is better to consider models of thin neat belts in combination with fluffy outfits. A corset-belt will help to highlight the waist line in women with a "rectangle" figure. And wide models will visually remove imbalances from the "pear".

How to match your business, casual or evening dress
Before experimenting with ways to wear this accessory, you need to choose the right one for your dress.
There is no need to support the belt of universal colors (beige, brown, black) or merging with the dress with other accessories. A bright, richly decorated belt can also be independent of the general image or even be a single accent.
Here are some valuable tips to help you stay focused on the range:
- If the outfit is multi-layered, textured, with a pattern and decorations or with a fluffy skirt, a narrow belt will simply get lost against such a rich background. It is better to give preference to a wider monochromatic and preferably smooth model.
- What should the belt go with? - With any detail of your image. The trio "handbag, belt, shoes" is considered standard, which is most suitable for classic and evening wear. But modern fashion dictates new rules, or rather, reduces them to a minimum. Now the trio is trite and boring. It is much more interesting to tie a belt only with a bag, and wear contrasting shoes. For example, it will decorate a black belt or red options.
- Do not under any circumstances gird dresses of bright pure colors (white, lemon, pink, etc.) with belts of "dirty" shades.
- If the strap matches the color of the outfit, there is no emphasis on it. It simply forms the correct silhouette, but does not draw all attention to the waistline. This solution is ideal for women with a poorly defined waist and sides, as well as for those who want to focus on another part of the body or an element of the dress (embroidered neckline, unusual sleeves).
- Belt contrasting with main items. This solution, on the other hand, will draw attention to the waist. The contrast version clearly delineates the bottom and top, showing the length of the legs and torso. Therefore, if the legs are short, the accessory is worn above the waistline, if the body is short, the belt is located on the hips.
An insanely beautiful and win-win combination is a little black dress + a gold or silver strap. As a rule, the fatal image is complemented by one accessory of the same brilliance, more often shoes or a clutch.

Each is interesting and beautiful in its own way. By trial, taking into account our advice, you will certainly find one or more ways that are optimal for your wardrobe and physique.
Bowknot: French, bow-tie, single loop
Several techniques for your choice:
- For a French bow, you must first iron the ends, and then throw one over the other crosswise. At the same time, the free tip remains a half-band, and the second one wraps it around, forming a loop through which it extends to its central part. Further, the "ears" are leveled, tightened and straightened.
- Grab both ends of the accessory to tie a bowtie from the waistband that can decorate both traditional and trendy mini. Then put the left end on top of the right one, circle it around the formed cross, pull the left end perpendicularly up, and the right down. The result is a semi-knot. Now fold the lower end of the belt into a half-loop-loop and turn it to the side, and pass the upper end down, holding the knot with your fingers. Next, bend the free edge into a half-loop and wrap the first half-loop with it. Do not twist the fabric! At the end, you need to keep the held loop under the very first layer of the knot and tighten.
- A bow from one loop is made easy! Tie a semi-knot, as described in the previous version. From the top end, sew a loop. Wrap the second end and stretch it into the resulting knot. The half-bow will look more interesting if, when tightening, you place the loop at the top, then the ends of the belt will stick out downward.

It is not at all necessary to decorate the accessory in the form of a bow. There is a simpler, but no less attractive option. It will unobtrusively complement any dress and will help to place accents on the figure.
Plus, tying a belt with a free loop is much easier than using any other method. Take a wide accessory made of non-slip material, wrap it around your waist so that you have a loop in front and two ends. Then the ends just need to be threaded into the loop, tightened and beautifully straightened.

Using a belt for visual body shaping
A belt can not only decorate an outfit, but also allows you to visually hide some figure flaws and emphasize its dignity. So, women with small hips should wear a belt around their hips. In this case, it is desirable that the dress is narrow.
A corset belt is ideal for owners of a pear-shaped figure. It balances and visually lengthens the legs.
Women with curvaceous shapes should avoid tight-fitting dresses, and give preference to light knitted tunics and loose-fitting sarafans. For such people, corset belts with a slimming effect are best suited for evening dresses, or you can decorate with a neat thin belt.
Petite women should wear thin belts with small buckles. Huge belts on little girls look disproportionate. If the belt is tied just above the waist, you can achieve a visual increase in height.
The belt can rightfully be considered not only a functional, but also a decorative element. Your appearance, image and style depend on how you tie the belt on the dress. Even the most casual clothes can be transformed into exotic or festive attire with a luxurious belt as an accessory. By combining color and shape, fantastic looks can be created. It is important to consider the texture of the fabrics and the combination of styles and shades. If the dress and belt contrast in color, then this adds a special accent and zest to the feminine image.
A belt is a strip of any material - silk, lace, suede, leather, with which you can gird a dress. Moreover, it can be not only a narrow or wide part of the fabric, but also a lace. Belts are made by weaving threads, satin stitch embroidery, joining small leather strips.

In order to focus on beautiful parts of the body, it is important to properly tie the belt around the dress. Lucky women can wear belts of any shape at the waist, emphasizing femininity and beauty. Women with a silhouette similar to an inverted triangle should use thin belts, and with corsets or wide products it is advisable.
A wide belt for a loose dress in the form of a tunic allows you to hide figure flaws. If you wear a belt under the breast with an Empire-style outfit, then the chest is accentuated and a slender silhouette is added. Midi products are harmoniously combined with a belt slightly above the waist, which makes it possible to visually lengthen the legs and emphasize their beauty.
A thin belt is best worn with dresses such as a case, bag or case. Curvy women should not wear a belt on their hips so as not to emphasize their fullness. It is necessary to use belts of a certain shape and size, only in this case it will be possible to hide figure flaws and create an elegant, beautiful silhouette.
Types and shapes of belts
There are many different styles and shapes of belts. The classic option is considered to be a strip up to 5 cm wide. Models made of soft fabrics are tied in the form of various knots and bows. Hard samples are not recommended to tie difficult, to give unusual shapes. Leather belt with buckle is ideal for knitted, denim or viscose dresses. A medium length leather belt tied with a simple knot looks exquisite and can be worn around the waist or hips. If you put on a belt on the hips, then visually increase the height, lengthen the silhouette.
Sash belt borrowed from men's fashion. It is an elongated, wide specimen with slightly tapered ends. A belt is put on - a sash by wrapping around the waist, while the ends are tied with a knot or bow. The wide part, depending on the style of the dress, is located in the front or back, and the bow (knot) can be in the center or side of the dress. Sashes are often decorated with brooches, fur inserts or rhinestones. This is a stylish and bright accessory with which you can create a luxurious look.

How to knit a belt on a dress?
Short belts can be fastened with a hook, buttons or buckle. Long options are tied, tossed, with the help of them unusually beautiful bows and flowers are created. The long belt is folded in two and wrapped behind the back. You can place the ends of a long belt, a loop in front of you. The ends of the belt are inserted into the loop, thrown in front of each other and released.
The easiest and most convenient way to tie a belt on a dress is a bow. The standard version of the bow looks gorgeous on dresses of different styles; it is made up of a knot and loops. You can make a bow from a belt of various widths and lengths, free parts can be at the same or different levels.
The bow tie diagram demonstrates the technique and method description. To make a bow, you need to wind the belt back, then the left end is superimposed on the right end and wound up from the bottom up. We make a loop from the lower end, and the right one is passed down, while holding the knot with our fingers. The free edge is bent with a loop and with its help the first loop is twisted from the wrong side from above and outside. It is important not to allow the fabric to twist at the knot. A held loop is then inserted under the first outer layer of the knot and loosely tightened.
Bows are bulky and small, they can hold their shape well or sag, depending on the density of the fabric. Bow "corrugation" is obtained only from the soft fabric of a narrow and not very long belt. In this case, the fabric is folded in uniform folds. For the embodiment of the "corrugation" effect, at least 4 folds are required. The belt is wrapped around the waist so that the folds are not deformed. Such belts will decorate a child's or wedding dress, evening dress or club dress.
You can tie a belt on the dress in the form of a half-bow. Initially, the belt is thrown back (behind the back), and the ends are held in front of you. One right part is superimposed on the other left, and thrown inward from the bottom up. The end that was brought out from above is bent down and wound under the free end. A fold is made on the part of the belt, which is 10 cm from the junction with the free part. It turns out the ear of a half-band, it is threaded into the resulting knot. The flower is a transformed half-band that can be tied on a belt more than 15 cm wide. The ear from the inside is taken with your fingers and pushed under the knot. Thus, the loop turns into 2 semicircles, and the folds resemble a flower. It is better to fasten the middle of the half-band with a pin. This version of the belt looks beautiful with dresses of vintage or retro style.
