It is like. THE PERFECT DRESS THAT CAN BE ANY DRESS. augh. a;sldkrua

It is only $54! Which is not really that much. (and it's reduced from $95, so)

BUT. Of late at this site I have spent (because oh, it's only $xx!) probably $200+ on a combination of tops, bags, film, hoodies, and underwears. Each thing seems like an excellent deal, but it also totally adds up.

AUGH SO CONFLICTED

That is simply a must have dress. There's no other way to look at it.

There are floor length ones as well, though I tend to think knee length is better in general.

augh, I wish I didn't have to decide by tomorrow.

ffffffffffffffffffff sad fact: I know how to make that dress :|

/no longer in possession of a sewing machine boohoo

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa REALLY?

I...dont' suppose you'd been willing to share this information?

dytabytes June 15 2011, 20:59:31 UTC

Sure! It's actually sinfully easy to make -- if you've got a sewing machine and a couple hours, you can probably make it with... I'd say $20 worth of fabric? Depends what you have access to.

I don't have the exact pattern on me at the moment but try these links c:

Infinity Dress Pattern 1

Pattern 2

The basic pattern is actually the same, it's just that the two posts have slightly different takes on it. If you google "infinity dress" or "convertible dress" you'll definitely find a heap of other patterns on top of this! Tell me what you think :D

ALLOW ME TO HELP!

I own that dress. It honestly does not actually look that awesome in real life. Nor is it easy to adjust while still having it fit you. The only functional way me or anyone I know has been able to make it work is to wear it as a skirt.

attilatehbun June 15 2011, 23:56:57 UTC

This is actually very helpful! I think I will probably not buy it.

I may try my hand at making it, because hey, it's a project, and then at least I won't be out too much if I fuck it up beyond repair.

WOOHOO

Try working in a department store and seeing all the new stuff that comes in--"Ooh, that's cute!"--or seeing something suddenly go on clearance--"Hey, that's really not too bad for that price!" I think it's a good thing that we have a small and ineffectual plus size section. The merchandise there doesn't go clearance as quickly and there isn't the same kind of selection.

That dress really does do a lot of things, doesn't it...?
