Infinity Dress

I finally made the infamous infinity dress. I needed a dress for Vegas and I needed something that would fold up small and not wrinkle which is what the top picture shows. After countless hours searching for answers and tutorials and examining every picture I came across to understand the process, I finally did it. It still needs a few minor adjustments but, for all intents and purposes it is ready to roll.

For my birthday my husband took me to G Street Fabric and I found this material which is a soft, black, 2-way stretch jersey and what was even better is I got it for $2.97 a yard on some huge sale. I looked into buying one of these dresses and I found that the range was between $100 and $350 which I thought was outrageous. I made mine for $10...Yo soy el ganador on this one!

Anyway, there are crazy ways to tie up this dress but I only showed 5 to give a hint of its versatility. I will be wearing a black birdcage veil with the dress but I haven't decided what kind of jewelry or plumage to wear. I am definitely leaning towards bright flowers though to offset the black.

I've been slacking. Over the last few months I have sewn several dresses that between being in Texas for a month and moving, didn't quite make it on the blog. The brown dress was my first jersey knit project and I must say that this material IS NOT the menace that people make it out to be. All you need to remember is don't pull it while sewing, take your time and get the correct stretch! Please excuse the terrible pictures...I was still unpacking!
This is a black and white polka dot dress from a simple Vogue pattern. I also made this dress in a pink/purple fabric and will evenually post that pic as well :)
