System for correctly tying a dress tie in a single attempt

A method for enabling a wearer to tie a dress tie, of the type having wide and narrow ends, so that both ends thereof are of optimum length on the first try after a short, one-time practice session, the method comprising the steps of:

• providing a line of dress ties, each of which incorporates a dimensionally-stable internal backing fabric woven of fibers, a first portion of which run an entire length of the tie, with a second and balance portion thereof running at right angles to the fibers of said first portion, said dimensionally-stable internal backing fabric resisting stretching of the tie in a longitudinal direction, and wherein all of the dress ties in said line, save for an outer shell design, are virtually identical with respect to length, width, thickness, and general composition;
• and
• providing an identical linear series of raised markers on a surface of each tie in the line of dress ties, said markers enabling a sighted wearer to visually and tactilely identify a starting point for knotting each tie in the line of dress ties, and said markers enabling a blind wearer to tactilely identify a starting point for knotting each tie in the line of dress ties.
