interesting bridesmaid's dress idea

The dress is one-size-fits-all (0-16, of course), comes in 10 colors and two lengths, and can be styled 10 different ways from the waist up by twisting and wrapping. Pretty nifty idea, I think.

I saw that too! And it sent me on a search for a pattern for similar dresses. I found this, and my request for a serger loan was to make one.

It's neat, but I've been looking at the style gallery and have yet to see a way to wrap it that'll let me wear a bra. And I always wear bras. It's just unkind when I don't.

In the link I posted above, there's a link to a designer named monif C -- she has a version that the pattern I liked to is based on, and she has a video of several ways to wrap her version of the dress that are bra-friendly (I have the same issue).

On that page, you'll find a link to the video.

Cool. thanks! I especially like the part about being able to wear a bra. :)
