A few weeks ago I saw this top from Zara and totally fell in love with it. For me, it was all about the shoulder bow. I just had to make one myself and today I'm going to show you how you can do it too. It's really easy and adds a sweet touch to your favorite sleeveless summer dress or top. 

Sewing a casing and inserting elastic can be fiddly and tedious, especially when using a narrow width elastic. But there’s an easier, quicker way to create a elastic waist without using a casing at all. It instantly creates a fitted waist, giving the dress (and you!) an hourglass shape. The result is a very finished look that can be worn with or without a belt.
