How I Sewed my Very Basic Bardot Dress with Quarter Circle Skirt & In-Seam Pockets

Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my super Basic, super Versatile Summer Dress 💕 This is so straightforward to pull together but still has a good bit of interest with the shoulder flounce and strap detail. It can be worn in a few ways all of which I absolutely love ♥️♥️♥️ and all of which will definitely be worn by me over the coming months 👌 I hope that the video helps those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar and that you enjoy.
