How to Tie the Perfect Bow on a dress

So now that my youngest is going into Kindergarten I am going back to teaching full time.  However I still LOVE my sewing, but will not be able to do as much in my shop as I'd like.  In the past few years I've developed NUMEROUS patterns that I've used countless times for boutique orders and custom orders.  So, instead of closing my shop completely I've decided to offer the patterns to the public on my ETSY shop for sale.  Currently I am looking for pattern testers for the Peasant Twirl Dress Pattern with optional Bottom Band or Bottom Ruffle. 

 
If you are interested please email me or leave a comment below and I will contact you.  In the mean time, I am beginning to offer mini tutorials for things that would be helpful to the people purchasing the patterns. 

1st up....How to tie the Perfect Bow on the back of these cute little dresses.  I know some of you may know how this is done already, but for me, I actually had to look it up.  My bows NEVER sat properly on the back of the dress right.  It was all wompy and lopsided...if those are words.  Anyways, I finally found a way to ENSURE that it is the same every time I tie it.  And it always looks beautiful in photographs. 

 
So this is my 1st video tut...please no judgements, but let me know if I can improve somewhere. 
 
Enjoy
