I like the collar top stitching detail here, and I think Burda did a nice job with the styling. #120 – These sort of cape style have been really trendy over the past few months. On me, the seam line and pocket placement would definitely look weird, but I think this could look really stylish on others. #104 – I love a good printed coat! I don’t know that I’d choose this particular pattern over others I already have in the stash to use for myself, but I do think that this coat has some nice structure. The pieced shawl collar is an interesting detail, and I like the overall shape of the piece.

It looks super cozy in both of these images, but I could imagine styling it with fancier outfit and it would still look pretty sharp. #101 – I think this is another great option! It has this interesting mix of being a long jacket but also having a vaguely cardigan-ish feel. #103 and #102 – I really like this jacket/coat pattern! I think this style has that nice balance of being casual but also polished, and I really like the relaxed fit of the shoulders and the seam lines on the sleeves. What was your favourite from this issue? I think mine might be either the first dress with the asymmetric slit, or the Petite one with the asymmetric neckline strapping – but I’m not predictable or anything!!

Burda magazine 2021 plus#
I’m pretty sure I saw a similar design in a Burda Easy magazine, but the geometric binding neckline is really striking! Instead of cutting away the fabric, here the effect is achieved with thin strips zigzagged around the neckline.Īnd finally, two different variations on the classic wrap dress for Plus sizes! Vertical seams make for much easier fitting – they’re like princess seams for your legs!Īlso in the Plus section – a very cute surplice wrap top that could be really flattering on curvy figures. I think the trousers here are amazing but also very likely to get overlooked – they have vertical seams front and back with an offset, inseam zipper. There are a lot of very wearable separates, and because the photoshoot is of a mother and daughter, you get to see two different versions of (most of) the patterns and on two different models. The Plus section this month is, IMHO, one of the best ever. The kids patterns this month are all for tween girls (quite a rarity for Burda!) with the concept that they’re easy enough for her to sew for herself, like this cool asymmetric zippered skirt.Īnd again, for tweens, a cropped knit shirt and one-piece leggings (but with a gross casing elastic waistband rather than my preferred method). The fabric makes me gag and I don’t know what’s going on with that floof at the hem, but the chevron woven fabric at the neckline is just divine! Luckily, this one also has illustrated instructions this month, because those pleats could be straight out of Pattern Magic! These look really quite wearable and flattering, and particularly summery when made up in a seersucker! The coloured, illustrated instructions this month are for shorts (in two lengths) with vintage-style scoop/patch pockets. This is the petite pattern this month – again, a summer dress with some amazing asymmetric strap details at the neck, and a kangaroo pocket in the A-line skirt, too. If you’re unsure about fabrics weaving, have a look at misterdomestic on Instagram for some amazing examples of what can be done when you mix weaving with sewing garments… This shirt (or dress) features a really cool woven fabric detail that I’ve not seen Burda do before. I think it looks great in a solid, but it’s also shown later in the magazine in a busy print, too. The back is cleverly all one standard piece, meaning it’s less likely to shift around while worn. The first feature is all about “tennis whites”, and I utterly adore this dress with an asymmetric cutaway neckline. This issue certainly has a lot more than I’d usually like from a July! But my least favourite was always the summery beachwear in the June and July issues, because there was pretty much nothing I could wear in an English summer, where it rarely gets about 70-75F (25C)!īut in recent years Burda have been mixing things up, and the old scheduling has given way to more unpredictable features, which I think gives more variety and appeal to a wider rare of sewists. Burda definitely keep up with the seasons, but I still kinda miss the reliable rhythm that the issues used to have back in the day – January had loungewear, March was always the wedding special (the only one they’ve reliably kept!), some menswear in April, May had tons of dresses, August was the Fall fashion previews (and usually maternity, too), cocktail dresses every November, and evening gowns in December.
