The latest issue from Burda is here! As is traditional, March is the wedding issue, which means lots of dresses and formal looks. Interestingly, this year Burda has mixed the Burda Plus styles in with the traditional sizes in the wedding shoot, which is pretty awesome. There isn’t a lot of variety in this issue, … More March 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
So the full preview for the February Burda is here. And you can watch the German promotional video too. After the awesome magazines we’ve been getting the past few months I’d hoped the trend would continue… But, sadly, no. The February issue is full of a mostly dull assortment of boxy silhouettes. I will say … More February 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
The latest magazine from My Image was announced a few weeks ago, but I was too busy to sit down and write a post when it first came out. On the whole I think there are some good summer pattens here; I’m especially excited by the jeans pattern and potentially by the oversized cardigan as … More My Image Spring/Summer 2016
Looking back, I have to say that, on the whole, this felt like a rather lackluster year for Burda. Every issue had at least one pattern I really liked, but, honestly, there were very few issue where I wanted to make many of the garments, and most of the things I did want to sew … More A Year in Review: BurdaStyle Magazine 2015
It looks like Burda is continuing the trend of awesome issues into the new year! The magazine has a nice selection of easy to sew loungewear and lovely tailored pieces, as well as a decent Burda Plus section, and some fairly cute kids costumes. First up, the coats and jackets, which are absolutely awesome in … More January 2016 BurdaStyle Magazine
When the preview for the December Burda went up, I was incredibly excited for the new issue. When it arrived, there were two patterns I knew I wanted to make right away – the wrap skirt and the pleated back tunic top. I traced both of them, but the top got sewn together first. … More Pattern Review: BS-12-2015-109A
The full preview for the December Burda is here! And I have to say I’m excited, because it’s good. Deliciously good. I think it has the perfect blend of fun holiday party wear, interesting winter staples, and gifts for the family. After having a rather lackluster year, Burda is going out with a bang. First … More December 2015 Burda Style Magazine
Burda has definitely been on an upswing the past few months, and I think November is another solid issue. I don’t think there are any really outstanding pieces, but there is a nice mix of tailored pieces, draped knits, and fancy and casual styles for the winter season. Definitely have to give a nod to … More BurdaStyle Magazine November 2015
The Fall/Winter issue of BurdaStyle Special (formerly Burda Easy) is here! Also, apparently there has been a name change? At least to the cover of the English version says “BurdaStyle Special” and not “BurdaStyle Easy” as previous issues have. The Russian website still calls it Burda Easy though? Perhaps a partial rebranding? Not entirely sure. … More BurdaStyle Special Fall/Winter 2015
I’m happy to say, after a rather lackluster year, Burda is back! Last month’s issue was really good, and this month has a few choice patterns as well. There are lots of designs that could see heavy rotation as wardrobe staples, nothing too crazy, and the Burda Plus section this month is totally drool worthy. … More Magazine Review: October Burda 2015
