An infinity dress guide, which even a blond like me can understand!
As I was browsing through the internet I stumbled upon the infinity dress, a dress that has an infinite different ways to wear it. While browsing through all of the different ways I could wear it, I found a few I really liked! I was hooked!
I started looking for patterns online, found some too! Unfortunate for me, all of those patterns were intended for small chest skinny girls, who can wear this dress open backed and bra-less, I cannot. I had no choice but to replan the dress patterns to fit my bra + modesty requirements.
Me, my mother and her superb sewing skills started this project together. We didn’t get mach salvation from the guides online, so we recalculated the Measurements as we saw fit, with a lot of try and error (which we will try to spare you).
And this is the story of how this guide was born!

Signing UpStep 1: The fabric
What fabric should I buy?
Flexible and heavy (I recommend some combination of Tricot – Lycra)
How mach fabric should I buy?
The fabric should be 4m long and 1.5m wide (1.5m is the standard)
Attention!
The length of the skirt is determent by the width of the fabric, the rest of the fabric is used for the straps, anyone who is taller or wider and want more then 2.5m straps (not recommended!) should buy more fabric accordingly.
Note: from the excess fabric marked in the layout as X I sewed a tights pants.

Most fabrics have a minimum of 1.5m wide when you buy them.
Again I don't really know how to translate it but I meant tights pants.
M does stand for meter.
Sorry for my poor English, I do relay a lot on google translator … :)
Beautiful design, designer, and easily followed instructions!
Thank you :)
Reminds me of the old joke: People who speak 3 languages are trilingual. People who speak two languages are bilingual. People who speak one language are Americans. :)
Lol, what you see isn’t auto correct, its Google translator + my poor English.
I think I meant tights pants. Correct me if it still doesn’t make sense. :)
And your wife is awesome! Making her own wedding dress is so special!
I've seen lots of different tutorials for this kind of dress online but I love the wide waist piece you added. It makes the dress much more modest and versatile for those of us who are well endowed!
One thing you might consider is doubling up the fabric for the straps when using a non-reversible fabric. It would use a little more fabric but it would give it a more finished look. It looks awesome either way though!
Thanks for taking the time and all the pictures!
