How I Sewed my Tulip Sleeve Mock Wrap Dress with Pleat & Piping Detail

Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my Tulip Sleeved Mock Wrap Dress with Pleat & Piping Detail. I could not be happier with how this has turned out and I'm so glad I persevered through the lack of concentration I was experiencing during the make 😉😌🙌 I hope that the video helps those of you that are thinking of sewing up something similar and you enjoy.
