But the version i liked best was the one by monif c., a plus-size designer who makes AMAZING clothes that non-plus size girls can envy. And here, without further ado, is how to make this variation, using ONE SEAM: this is the one and only seam. when the dress is done, it will look like this (that's a 60" measuring tape on the strap): The Convertible “Infinity” Dress: How it almost defeated me, and what you need to make one. I made this thing.
It’s pretty cool. It’s a convertible dress that’s basically a circle and two straps, so it’s really easy, inexpensive, and crazy versatile. It’s been around forever and everyone seems to love it (in fact, part of the reason I’m posting this is to answer some questions for people I’ve run into), and I can hardly believe how close I came to not making it at all. I first found the instructions at a blog called rostitchery, and then I came across a second set at Cut Out + Keep. It sounded so easy. So I bought some material, spread it out in the living room, cut out my pieces, and… …stopped. I didn’t understand the next step. Turn the skirt inside out? And what’s this about making them overlap each other? There’s, like, a band of fabric involved? What? I figured I was just being thick. So I folded up my circle and my straps and I put it all back in the bag it came in.

While trying to find a retailer in Vancouver that sells convertible/infinity dresses I somehow wound up finding a tutorial for making one instead. I thought to myself, why not spend a quarter the cash but add a little effort and try making one of these babies? Best. Decision. Ever. This is my first tutorial so brace yourselves for some wonky extensive instructions and I’ll probably end up repeating myself, so sorry in advance. I was able to make this dress using a few tutorials: This, This, This & This for the circle skirt This & This for the dress I’ve also found this very useful tutorial for a different take on the infinity/convertible with a wider waistband and a two toned look. The final result is a one seam convertible/infinity dress Fabric: You’ll want to buy fabric that has at least 40% stretch.

The awesome thing about this dress, she yelled to me over the door in the fitting room, was that it could be worn three different ways: with the top folded over for a flirty short dress, with the top extended for a longer dress (my personal preference), or with the top pulled down around the waist as a skirt. I will admit that my love of the dress has dwindled since my first few attempts to wear it: the stretchy, t-shirt fabric that makes it so easily convertible also makes the skirt heavy and the top slippery.
In this case, all roads led back to Rowena’s “Infinity Dress” on her blog Ro-Stitchery. View 2 member project galleries.
