There was nothing notable in the Plus section, but I did enjoy the extended feature on natural dyes. Honestly, why? Who would ever-? Good god, who signed off on these?Įrr, clown blouse? This might have been ok in a soft fabric (might), but in a poplin? It just makes those horrible 1970s bell sleeves look like the big tent. Again, the La Maison Victor open backed dress from last Winter is far superior (and you can wear a bra with that one).Īnd the ugly combo award for this issue goes to… The ugly muu muu dress & equally ugly popped collar bomber jacket (bomber pattern number 754353 from Burda, ugghgh). I like the curved seaming on the skirt, but the upper back is just too open, and the top is only held together with a single hook and eye. I feel like a broken record here, but not all open backed dresses are practical or flattering. This could be a great basic pattern for adding further design elements (cough Pattern Magic cough), too. The seams all flow together nicely at the sides, and there’s an option for shoulder ties, too. This sheath dress is just fantastic – it’s simple, but it’s shown several times in the magazine, both partially colourblocked (as it is here), but also all in one fabric, and again with three separate coloured fabrics. And I’m not convinced I need more than one summery jumpsuit in my wardrobe right now! I’m officially on Team Jumpsuit and I like the look of this one on the model, but this is a Tall size pattern, with extra elongated body lengths, so I think this on top of jumpsuits being elongated anyway means that it’d be a tricky one for me to fit. Skewed collar! Neck ties! Boxy shape! Asymmetric taped sleeve! Any one or two of these together would be fine, but all of them and it just feels unfocused and busy.
I really want to like this blouse with its asymmetric collar, but it just feels like they’ve tried to add too many incongruous details into one garment. Maybe I should just go back to my spring 2014 issues instead until the tide rolls back into a more favourable patch… YaI mean, this time last year I was praising them for a consistently amazing few months of issues, the pinnacle of which was the amazing Japanese-design feature. 29 May, 2015 Inspiration, Magazine Burda magazine June 2015
