My girls wore the Convertible Dress from VS, and it was in that spandex-y fabric, the sheen made it a little more dressy I thought. They really liked their dresses, and one of my girls even bought another one in another color to wear to another wedding as a guest!
I personally am not a fan of either of those fabrics, I think Jersey/ spandex mix are just a bit too clingy and unforgiving in my opinion. I generally avoid those fabrics because I dont feel comfortable wearing them.
I wore the spandex one to a wedding last night. I got compliments galore--I looked great and it was comfortable and swishy and fun to wear and fun to dance in.
I did have to spend time/effort/money regarding undergarments on top. To be frank--my nipples were clearly visible, even when I was not cold, under that fabric. The configurations I liked the most tended to be backless and/or low cut so a bra was hard to find. I ended up with the silicone nipple flowers--they can be reused up to 6 times. Make sure you follow the directions--wash and dry the boobies right before applying and don't use lotion or those things will flop right off.
I made one in jersey over the summer--I like it but the raw edges roll up like jersey tends to do and it looks less dressy than the other one.
I'm having a friend make my dresses and am looking for the right fabric. I definitely want a thick poly/spandex blend, but it's tough to find one that's thick enough...
Im doing something very similar to the infinity dress its a pattern from burda and it uses a crepe or other shier fabric as a wrap which I found helps dress it up a little.

hey bees, if you or someone you know has used the convertible/infinity bridesmaid dresses, what fabric do you recommend?
Mainly I am seeing spandex milliskin, which has a sheen to it, and regular jersey. I'm thinking that for a December wedding, jersey might look too summery. I will probably do either a light or dark gray. Here are the ones I'm considering:
What's your take on the fabrics available?
