So I've always loved Victoria Secret's Convertible Dress. But I never wanted to pay $89.00 for it! So I looked it up online to see if I could make it myself. And sure enough someone had tried it before! Below I have directions for how I made it and also pictures of me in the process and what it turned out like! More photos coming soon of different ways to wear it.
I bought my material at Joannes when they had a good sale on!
I saved 50% on my material!!
The fabric I chose. It is a Rayon stretch fabric. You want to make sure you get a stretch fabric!
Measuring the width of the straps (for me it was 10 inches).
This is my dog Sadie. She likes to get in the way. :-)
Once again...in the way.
I put pins in every few inches to make sure I cut as straight of a line as I could (this is my method since I've never really sewn anything before!!)
Sewing all of the layers together.
The final product!!
Here is what the back looks for wearing it this way.
Did I mention it is incredibly comfortable???
And here are the directions for how I made the dress...Take note that my skirt is a square, rather then a circle. I wanted the skirt to be different lengths.
The length for the straps is 1.5 - I just realized it kind of looks like 15. But it is one and a half.
Leave me a comment if you want me to email you the instructions. Or you should be able to click on it and then it will appear larger - right click and save the photo to your computer! :-)
