I wonder if the English version also has this? In amongst the patterns, there’s also some book reviews and a long profile on the designer Cléone (no designer patterns though). Though the model’s pale, enlarged lips are really freaking me out. Omg, it’s the knit wrap dress I made back in 2007! This is a great pattern, appearing first in the May 2006 issue of Burda magazine, and then appearing again as envelope pattern Burda 7953.įrom a feature in the mannish Yves St Laurent style, here’s a nice wrap top and pleated trousers. (Ok, this is probably a cranky side effect of my cold, as it’s not this pattern’s fault, it’s the “style” I take offense with!) Want to look old and frumpy? Wear a boxy boucle jacket and matching matronly skirt! I intended to place a little rant here about how any chanel-type suit has the magical properties of making its wearer look at least twenty years older, but seeing as how this model looks to be about 60, that actually doubles my earlier estimate. Here’s my favourite pattern of this issue, a great little sheath dress for wovens or stable jerseys, in three hem lengths and three sleeve lengths:Ī “Chanel” suit (albeit with a 2 piece sleeve). The instructions and patterns sheets appear to be similar to those in the regular magazines, though as I have the French version, I can’t vouch for whether the English instructions make any more sense than the usual “Burda WTF” coming from Burda Germany’s head office! Sizes range from 32-50 but the bulk of the patterns are 34-44 or 46. As you’ll see, there are lots of jackets, which aren’t exactly staples in my own wardrobe!. Two of these patterns are definitely reprints of earlier patterns (see below), but some may be new, I’m not sure. I bought my Classics mag last weekend at Eurotunnel Calais on our drive back – the one and only copy, bwahaha! Apparently there’s going to be 8 “special” issues per year, two of them Classics, two Plus, and the other four are anyone’s guess! It’s available in English & French only, and produced by Burda France as a test run.
#Burda magazine back issues series
So, what is this “Burda Classics”, I hear you ask? Well, it’s part of a new series of Burda pattern magazines, set to run alongside the existing monthly issues. Until then, please accept my apologies for anything that doesn’t make sense here! So just rest assured there will be much to talk about as soon as my brain is functioning again. We’ve been away in France last week and I’ve picked up a few souvenirs, including a stonking awful cold, which is unfortunately delaying my resumption of normal life and blog activity. 3 October, 2012 Inspiration, Magazine Burda Classics magazine FW 2012 (& MyImage sale!)
