Infinity Dress

Hi there guys

I finished this dress off today and thought I would show it to you - it was super easy and I recommend giving it a go. All it consists of is a skirt, a waist band and two very long straps. The straps can be tied in different ways to create different tops.
I haven't got pictures of all the ways it can be worn yet because I haven't worked them all out yet, but here are the few I did work out.

TOP LEFT: One Shoulder              TOP RIGHT: Full shoulder


 

 BOTTOM LEFT:                           BOTTOM RIGHT:
Front Marilyn Monroe style                      Back

If you'd like some instructions on how to make this dress, be sure to post a comment :)

Since joining craftster swaps in June 2010, I have completed 36 swaps of varying sizes and themes. I aim to have completed 40 swaps by the end of 2011.
The following photos show:

Crafting update

Since joining craftster swaps in June 2010, I have completed 24 swaps of varying sizes and themes. I will post pictures of my favourite items I've received and sent in these swaps.
I have learnt a whole bunch of new crafts and have taken up card making, scrapbooking and quilling.

I would like to accomplish my goal of learning how to crochet or knit by the end of the year, and improve my sewing, and increase my skills in quilling.
