This is a place for discussing the definition of the following term:  N.B.K.Dressed

N.Dressed -- The knot-tyer should ensure that all sections of .Cord are in their desired positions while a .Knot is being .Set.  This is referred to as .Dressing a .Knot.  If a .Knot is .Dressed improperly then some sections of .Cord might be subjected to unnecessary stresses which can weaken the .Cord.  A .Knot can be .Dressed in a wide variety of ways (of which only one or two might be considered "proper"), and it's possible that some of these .Dressings will result in different .Knots.  See "Differentiating between .Knots" below.
