Oranges Flora/Anna hack
I’ve made a few hacks of the By Hand London Anna and Flora dresses. I think I like it so much because of dresses from the 90s; dresses I remember my mum wearing and dresses like THAT mint green dress from Friends. I bought this fabric on a bit of a panic and a whim…

[Gifted fabric] Rifle Paper Co Anna/Flora/Kew hack
