You will need 4 yards of 45″ fabric and an 18″ zipper. These are the pieces of the pattern.
Mark out the measurements listed and the distances between them. For example, on the waistband measure out the distance between your underbust/ribcage and your waist, then measure half your ribcage measurement at one side and half your waist measurement at the other. Then draw out the rest of the shape so it looks more or less like the pieces in the picture. If you aren’t used to making your own patterns it might be helpful to have a pattern for another dress to refer to, particularly for the sleeves. To make the curve of the skirt even, use your tape measure like an enormous protractor. New at IKEA. 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.

Chair Farm: Plant Yourself a Chair. For Milan Design Week 2012 at the Instant Stories exhibition by DMY in Ventura Lambrate, Berlin and Singapore-based architect Werner Aisslinger unveiled his Chair Farm–a living “plantation chair” produced in an agricultural lab. The steel corset trains the vine. Chair Farm’s steel corset trains a fast growing vine into the shape of a chair. Once the chair is formed, the corset is removed, and voilà, behold a chair.
