The case for convertible clothing.

While packing for my trip to Beijing, I came across a common packing issue...

How will I fit 15 days of clothing into a suitcase and be able to bring back souvenirs?

That's when I decided it break out my trusty sewing machine and make a convertible dress.  If you are not familiar with the popular convertible dress, here are some examples from Jersey Maid.

I love that it will not be obvious to anyone looking at my vacation pictures that I am wearing the same dress. Even better, the material I picked out dries quickly and does not wrinkle, so I can wash it at night and it will be dry in the morning. Add a T shirt and it becomes a skirt. Add a blazer and the dress is great to wear to work. Or mix it up with an over skirt.
