How I Sewed my Tie Front Pleated Dress

Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed my Tie Front Pleated Dress. I absolutely love how this one has turned out, its super comfortable and with the tie, one that I think is very flattering in shape. I hope that those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar enjoy and find the video useful. Susanne 💕
