The Two Piece Shirt Dress
Burda model 106, from September 2007.
We have one two piece dress which features a high waisted pencil skirt and a chiffon bodice with ruffles and pleats.
Now, let's take a quickie peak at Nordstrom's and see how many retail dresses we can find to match!
In order from left to right we have ABS by Allen Schwartz, Diane VonFurstenburg, Tahari, Calvin Klein, and Ralph Lauren
Two pieces? Check! Pencil Skirt? Check! High waist? Check! Chiffon? Check! Pleats? Check! Ruffle? Check! Need I say more? Cidell made up the Burda is just about an afternoon! And people ask me why I sew. Of the bunch, the DVF is definitely my fave... You?

It's gonna be fab. I've actually batted around making it again.
Calvin Klein for me. Big surprise, I always vote for CK. :)
Yep, that pattern has been in my mind since I saw Cidell's version...
My favoritte: ABS by Allen Schwartz
You know, I never even thought of that as a day dress but you have opened my eyes. Now I definitely want to make it. I think I love the DVF best too. That pale peachy pink is just the perfect version of the color (and so hard to find).
Very astute observations! I love that look too. I'll have to vote for ABS by Allen Schwartz. Just love all the high-waisted skirts.
Gorge! I actually think the Burda one is my favorite! I could have sworn I just saw something that looked IDENTICAL to that in W or Elle or something...
