The Making of my Basic Summer Shirt Dress

Hi folks, in this weeks video I show how I sewed up my summer shirt dress. I absolutely love how this has turned out, I love the simple shape and the plain details, the collar, the cuffs, the length, the fit 💚💚💚. Its super comfy and can be dressed up or down, love, love, love this one❤️❤️❤️. I hope that those of you interested in making something similar enjoy and find the video useful. Susanne💕

Post filming I added a couple of hand stitches to hold the cuffs in place and a button at the waist on the inside 👍👌👍

See a second version of this one with a concealed placket over on Instagram 👍
