    I got my new yellow dress through today but I can't for the life of me figure out how to tie it up.lol. I must be so stupid. It has four straps on it, two under the bust and two on the shoulders. At the back it has two loops which I presume the straps go through. I looked at the ebay listing picture and the straps under the bust don't tie there as it doesn't show them tied there in the photo.

    I did try it as a halter neck with the two shoulder straps though and it looked okay so I might carefully cut the underbust straps off and wear it as a halter neck.lol.

    Heya. :)

    I'm glad you're having a good time with your son. :)
    I might actually post a pic with the straps untangled as you all might be able to figure out how to do it up. I'm driving myself crazy trying to figure it out.lol.

    Ok, here's the dress, which I cannot figure out how to tie up.lol. (Please excuse the unmade bed)

    Here is the ebay listing photo:

    I have no idea how to tie it like in the ebay listing photo. Of course it would help if I could see the back too.lol. I just have no idea where the underbust straps go. I never really wear anything that ties up, which is why I'm struggling.

    Okay, my new dress and I. I decided to do the halter neck thing but I decided to tie the underbust ties around the back and cut off the extra loops at the top. :)

    Please excuse my face. Not a good hair or skin day....

    What are you studying? Do you find your dyslexia tutor helpful? Are you able to talk to them about how you are struggling a bit?
    Exams are horrible. I used to worry myself ill about mine. I'm not sure what to advise with regards to concentration but when you are studying remember to take breaks too. :)

    hi,

    I am doing Psychology at uni, I actually did my 3rd yr last year and have deferred my exams each exam period since. I really wanted to get some done this time around as it would be a huge weight off me.

    My dyslexia tutor believes all is well now but she has got quite frustrated with me in the past as I cant seem to get things done... everything takes ages and ages.

    The dress looks really complicated, maybe you could look on the internet for instructions or more pictures to give you an idea of the "right" way to do it.

    Can you talk to your lecturers about your difficulties?
    Try your hardest and see how things go, and don't try to stress yourself out too much. :)

    If anyone here owns Cooking Mama 2, do you fail the circling the surface scum on some of the recipes? I can't seem to decipher what the surface scum looks like so can't circle it and fail that part of the recipe. :(

    Lady M, the dress looks confusing. I've been looking at it but can't work it out either. It looks alright how you've tied it though. If you want to tie it like in the eBay photo you could always email the seller, I'm sure they wouldn't mind.
