I still wanted to try something a bit different rather than remake the same pattern though so flicked through my Burda index file for inspiration. I picked this simple shirt with cutaway shoulders from 03/2006 - 104.
It was easy to make and I am really happy with how it turned out - the only change I made to the pattern was to do my own thing with the button placement. Of course you need to wear a strapless or halter bra with it. Definitely worth a try if you have this issue taking up space somewhere, I will probably make this again.
This is the best I can do with photos of a black garment...
If you have already read Slapdash Sewist's blog you will know she is en route to Hong Kong right now! We are meeting for dinner tonight and for shopping tomorrow, it's really exciting. I will try and do something about my hair before I go to meet her.......

Your shirt turned out great. I'm so jealous that you get to hang out with The Slapdash Sewist. I love her blog. Hope you have a blast. Please say hi from Sewing With Trudy for me.
Cool shirt! Usually it's the basic things that I end up wearing the most.
How exciting meeting up with Trena! Your top is really nice. Wish black looked good on me :( Great pattern.

Great basic little top!
That is a really nice top to have in the wardrobe to allow for a quick - looking good, put-together outfit.

I like this top a lot.
Looks great! I like this pattern too --- the cutaway style is really flattering!
Great looking top.
Nice black sleeveless blouse.
Just checking in to see what you're up to. Hope the airco is working and you're not wilting too much! Nasty hot summers have a way of sapping the sewing motivation and if it's hot in Belgium, it must be sweltering in tropical Hong Kong! It was 34 yesterday with no airco and my sewing plans were nixed.
Great blog!
