That *is* exciting! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through/page/2#post-1023818 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 19:39:22 +0000 always trying 1023818@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great that so many here love this idea.&nbsp; I too am hoping it is a biggie in the spring.&nbsp; I still have a lace one in my closet,,I have worn the lace top recently under a jacket, and loved the way it looked. The bottom not though as it is a mid calf length, actually almost a midi, but not quite, so havn't worn it in a long time, but kept it as it is very pretty lace and the lining is so nice-and is an ivory color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through/page/2#post-1023810 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 19:28:56 +0000 Diana 1023810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh! I actually like these more suiting-style ones much more than the more casual (softer, tucked or bloused) styles you showed in the original blog post. I think it works better and looks more deliberate with more structure and I definitely prefer these styles that aren't meant to be tucked. I could see this working very well with a peplum top!</p> <p>And hey! Maybe this is a way to get a sheath dress that actually fits me since I can buy the top and bottom in different sizes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through/page/2#post-1023773 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 18:25:21 +0000 Jamie 1023773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love 2-piece dresses, and I haven't had one in ages.

Please have it sent to me! I think it has my name on it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023488 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 05:06:12 +0000 Adelfa 1023488@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beth Ann, I had an eyelet two piece dress that I sewed myself, too!</p> <p>Angie, are the pieces sold together or separately? I am about 2.5 sizes bigger on top than on bottom. &nbsp;If they are sold together I think a two piece dress would look worse than a one piece, and those are already hard. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023485 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 04:59:42 +0000 Beth Ann 1023485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm keeping my eyes open for a suitable version for me!&nbsp; When I was a teen, I'd often make matching tops and skirts, then mix and match, so I had separates and a "dress."&nbsp; I had a favorite that was in a printed lavender eyelet.&nbsp; The top was a ladylike fitted vest (lined), and the bottom was a full skirt with inverted pleats -- like Lyn wears.&nbsp; I would sometimes layer a white sheer peasant blouse under the vest, and I would wear my vest by itself in summer over a pair of cut off blue jean shorts.&nbsp; Yeah.&nbsp; It was 1979, but I loved it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023455 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 03:33:22 +0000 ManidipaM 1023455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the first one. Great shape and pattern, per my preferences. Longer sleeves would be better still, no?</p> <p>I recall an youthful version I had in the 80s. Shorter boat-necked top half just breaking past waist., could actually be worn back to front as the back neckline was a v. The pleated skirt was midi-length. Cotton and not this refined as the pattern was in different colours for top and skirt. Interesting but I prefer the tonal look this time.</p> <p>Of course, I probably won't see many or even any at stores here unless Zara does a version or something. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023454 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 03:26:56 +0000 lyn* 1023454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, maybe I can make my own two piece dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023452 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 03:22:26 +0000 unfrumped 1023452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I could wear that! Refined but easy. i usually do better in separates than one piece. Love the shades of gray &amp; black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023445 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 03:02:38 +0000 Echo 1023445@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These won't work for me; I much prefer one-piece dresses that don't cut me off in the middle and don't risk skin showing if I reach for something. Indeed, when I read the first post the only thing I could think was, "Why?"</p> <p>Then when someone mentioned different sizes it made perfect sense. And I realize that plenty of people prefer two piece dressing just as much as I prefer one piece. Regardless, although I won't be partaking, I think this is a great option to have available! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023443 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:55:07 +0000 Beth 1023443@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this! And winter dresses with SLEEVES? Be still my heart.</p> <p>If I never see another gorgeous tweed dress missing the essential cold weather component of sleeves, I'll consider the fashion world blessed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023438 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:43:20 +0000 deb 1023438@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I can do a two piece dress.

I'm excited that two piece dresses are coming through! How great to be able to fit both bottom and top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023422 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 02:24:05 +0000 Freckles 1023422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not a skirt or dress person at all but was sorely tempted by the houndstooth ones last year and this first one is a dream... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023387 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 01:08:39 +0000 Suz 1023387@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Chuckling with pawprints.&nbsp;</p> <p>One of my favourite articles of clothing ever (and favourite outfits) was a two piece silk dress from the 80s. Midi length, simple "tee" styled top, fluid fit. I still remember that dress with longing. I did occasionally wear each piece separately as well -- they were easy to mix and match. But it really shone as a unit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023381 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 01:02:17 +0000 Pawprints 1023381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So excited by this trend. It will be hard to restrain myself if I find multiple suitable choices. You know, because they might disappear again for another 30 years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023375 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:58:51 +0000 Lisa 1023375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pretty!&nbsp; I really like this idea.&nbsp; Especially with a pattern.&nbsp; I did not see any two piece dresses at my local Nordie's tonight but I did see some interesting layering.&nbsp; One was a white buttondown shirt, with a printed jumpsuit over it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023374 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:58:18 +0000 Angie 1023374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are going to go down so well with my business formal clients especially. </p> <p>Cobaltblue, the concept is a skirt and top, but I love the dress and top they threw in as a cousin to the concept too. I tried it on actually. Add some edge, and you are good to go. They fit really well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023367 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 00:51:41 +0000 JulieJohn 1023367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#2 is really interesting. I am not bored with the repeating pattern because it is so artistic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023299 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:23:45 +0000 Laura 1023299@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this -- great news!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/two-piece-dresses-starting-to-come-through#post-1023275 Fri, 06 Sep 2013 23:11:42 +0000 Isabel 1023275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>&nbsp;It is sooooo cool. &nbsp;I am loving this.&nbsp;</p> <p> <div>Sometimes I feel that at my age, there is simply nothing new. But I don't recall ever seeing a two piece dress in the past. &nbsp;Ever.&nbsp;</p> <p>ETA &nbsp;</p> <p>Cobalt, Angie wrote about this not too long ago. In most cases it is two separate pieces of a skirt and a top. &nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/06/24/the-two-piece-dress/">http://youlookfab.com/2013/06/.....ece-dress/</a><br /></div> </p>
