I think the curved button tabs and repeated pleating on the front and back are details we just don’t see in modern clothes. Not that exciting.ġ21 – This is a vintage pattern that we get for the issue. I mean, to be fair, it’ll probably be the most practical summer quarantine pattern in this issue, but, still.
The ruffled version does have a fun summer vibe, but the plain version really screams “it’s hot, and I’ve given up.” Not that there is anything wrong with that.
I think it looks much better and more interesting on the model than it does in the line drawing.ġ06 & 105 – This is a pretty basic tank top. I’m not such a fan of the ruffly-ness, but I sort of appreciate the modern day Edwardian aesthetic going on here. The tops for this month are all definitely geared towards summer:ġ22 – This is the “trendy” pattern for the month – definitely making use of the ruffle trend. I think the use of the bright red was a nice touch from Burda’s styling team, but overall this dress doesn’t feel like it is adding anything new to the pattern collection. Not particularly unique, but still super cute.ġ20 – This dress is also a mix of a lot of elements that have been utilized in other Burda styles of the past, so despite being pretty it also feels a bit lackluster. I like the mix of the slightly puffed sleeves with the collar detail, and I think Burda’s garment image is really selling me on this look. It looks like it would be a comfortable dress to wear during summer, but there isn’t much here that is too exciting pattern-wise.ġ18 – This wrap style dress is also not particularly new, but I do think it is quite cute. The proportions are quite lovely, and I like the relaxed feel the dropped shoulder seam adds to the overall look.ġ03 & 104 – I feel like this style is really similar to previous styles from Burda, so it feels less exciting than some of the other options. Heading into summer we typically see a lot of dresses, but I can’t say any of these are particularly unique styles this month:ġ07 & 108 – This sort of boxy style dress isn’t anything unique for Burda, and I think the early McCall’s releases this year had most of us over the ruffle trend before it even got going, but I have to say that I actually like the ruffle dresses here. I also really like the very geometric seam lines and the way the pockets are constructed on the longer version.
As far as the pattern goes, I think the collar adds just enough fitted structure to offset the slightly oversized shape of the jacket. I mean, I don’t because I don’t need more fabric, but, really, I do. I love the bright print on the longer version (though the pattern matching on the garment photo leaves something to be desired I think), and the sequin bouclé fabric on the short version is stunning (McCall’s has also used a similar fabric in their summer releases – my review is coming shortly) and I absolutely need to find some. The summer issues typically don’t have a lot of jackets, but we do get a long and short option this month:ġ17 & 116 – So these are styles I wouldn’t necessarily be excited by if I just saw the line drawing, but I think Burda has perfectly styled them to make them look interesting.
