@Nanks: Good call! I deliberately didn't click on the link because it went there.
I think Breitbart was waiting with baited breath for the day he could type "Chappaquiddick" and unleash the invective he'd been saving up for years. It was like the floodgates opened.
I would love to see this incorporated into the plot of a remake of The Sound Of Music. Maria's kung fu skills could have come in handy to defeat the Nazis and show that shithead Rolf a thing or two.
Lillie Langtry did this back in the 1890s, folks. She had a black dress to which she added a white fichu for day and removed it for evening. Or whenever Edward VII came calling.
Now I feel a lot better about not wanting to waste my money on maternity clothes. I'm trying to see how little I can get by on, and this gives me hope.
As someone who takes the bulk of her wardrobe to Beacon's Closet (buy/sell/trade 2nd hand clothing shop) 4-5 times a year, I think this is a really interesting project. Even with all of the accessories used, this has still got to be a hell of a lot more sustainable than someone like me who has clothes in the closest with tags still attached. And it's intriguing from a creative standpoint. I imagine it wouldn't be very easy to remix a dress 365 ways.
@morninggloria: YES. I can't envision a world in which I could dress appropriately for all seasons in one dress. Heck, any dress is a recipe for disaster in the winter.
This is kind of what I do anyway. I have five or six black knit V-neck dresses with sashes/belts, all with slightly different styling/sleeves. Two are the same model from Target; two are the same model from Kmart.
I wear different cardigans over them, or little jackets, or camisoles underneath for a peep of color, or scarves, or necklaces, or whatever.
I didn't think this was so much "sustainable" as "poor, lazy, and sort of half-assed gothish."
I knew a guy in high school who did this with a pair of pants, on a dare. He made it about 6 months without washing them, and he didn't even smell that bad.

What a horrible, horrible person Breitbart is.

Something tells me that it wouldn't work if you were, say, a plump woman working in a lobbying firm in DC.
Admittedly, DC has it's own uniform, but it is very important to show that you have -multiple- suits.
