Straps:

Row 1: hdc in same stitch as join, and in the next 2 sts. Turn. (3)
Row 2-22: ch 2, hdc 3. Turn. (3)

Repeat with other strap, counting 29 sts to the left of the “seam” to join. Then attach the finished strap to the 13th stitch from the right of the”seam”.
Using yarn and a yarn needle, stitch over where the straps meet the body, to reinforce.
Weave in all ends.
If desired, you can add a bow or flower to the dress.
