Anyway, I wanted to get back to sewing with something quick. So I decided to make a convertible dress. Every version of the convertible dress seemed to lead back to Rowena's Infinity Dress, with good reason. It is a great dress.
I had changed it a little. Instead of a circle skirt, I made the skirt more streamlined. This is only because circle skirts tend to look a little childish on short lil' ole me. I also added a tube top to the dress, so that I can have better coverage.
I'm going off to look around the web to find different ways of wearing this dress. It's such a cool dress. I love the soft, blue jersey.Honestly, though, I don't know when I'll be wearing this, only because it's dressier than I would normally wear. Maybe it's time for a date night.

Beautiful dress! Beautiful you!!
Ooh, I see sleeves, sort of! (I only wear things with sleeves- do you know how hard it is to find cute dresses with sleeves??) It turned out so cute- isn't jersey yummy?
The 3rd and 4th pictures are my favorite versions.
Neat! a multitasking dress! *grin*
Very nice dress indeed, and bleu looks very good on you!1st and 2nd version are the most interesting for me.
This is a great dress! You don´t seem to be camera shy at all (unlike me)! Lookin´gooood! Handmade Clau
Su, your are stunning in that color!
And the dress... love the style and the fact that one dress can deliver so many options! You simply *can't* let it hang in the closet- book date night immediately!!!
Oops! I meant "You are", not Your are!
I have been planning to make this dress for my daughter (who is 19) much the same way you did, with a staight skirt. Can you tell me, is the tube top separate or did you sew it directly to the skirt when you attached the ties?
I love the blue. It looks great on you.

@Teresa- I sewed the tube top onto the skirt band (where the straps are sewn). I really like the tube, since it provides much more coverage, and an insurance against slippage of the straps.
hey! it looks great! I love the colour! and it's great that you can wear it in so many different ways, right?
You look like a fashion model. beautiful
Su, it's gorgeous! The blue looks fantastic on you. Love it!
That is so fun! Thank-you for posting this. Did you take pictures of the back? I'd love to see how the straps come up. It looks wonderful and I like your version so much more than the other one.
Thank you for the kind words, ladies.
oops, ellielaveer, I did not think to take pictures from behind, but they did look very natural from behind too.
Adding the tube top was a stroke of GENIUS! Do you mind if I steal the idea? And the blue looks beautiful on you. :)
