Infinity dresses always looked to me like the perfect dress for pregnancy, but when I tried the one I own on while I was pregnant, wow, whale city.
One of my pet peeves is wearing maternity dresses that drape so much that I have to walk around with a hand tucked under and/or over the belly just to give it any definition (though I admit they are super comfy, I do love them for home wear). I decided to try to make an infinity-style dress with a belly panel, which worked well, but I didn't have enough fabric for real straps that would to more than one or two looks. So after much trial and error, I finally figured out the measurements for a multi-wear dress that would actually flatter a pregnancy belly.
I'm 22 weeks right now, so I'm not sure how this will work full term. Hopefully will have a report back on that soon.
Being rather an unadventurous person when it comes to necklines, I can't imagine that I'll wear this dress to the extent of its abilities.... or even to the limit of the possibilities I've pictured here. But it sure is nice to have the option!
Can you tell I'm not really a natural in front of the camera? Oh dear.
There. Stretchy fabric, a sewing machine, lastin, and about 15 minutes of sewing (and about 40 of fabric cutting, hahaha)!
