Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my Lined Linen Button Down Midi Dress with Square Neck Detail. I absolutely love how this has turned out 💕💕💕It's super comfy & feels so lovely against the skin 💞 I hope that the video helps those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar and you enjoy.
