I think you'll get more of the effect seen in the pattern illustrations by pulling the bow out more (so that the ends and loops are about the same length). Then, with the help of gravity, it will flop down more and the proportions will be better. It looks great tied as a tie. Definitely you want a half windsor, not the real windsor. It's super easy to do. Here's how to do it. http://www.tie-a-tie.net/halfwindsor.html However, if you do go for the tie effect, you'll probably want to shorten your ties so that they end at the waist or just a bit higher when tied. Good luck!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916038188571690726.post-37715079524030832252010-01-22T08:26:15.857+11:002010-01-22T08:26:15.857+11:00I love bow blouses, and yours is so demure.
