Part 1 of the First Francaise Project can be seen here:

This is Part 2 in my “First Francaise Project” series in which I am deconstructing the first Robe a la Francaise I made and turning it into a new gown. In this video, I have a sewing day with friends, fit the bodice pattern, and create the new Robe a la Anglaise pleats.
