I'm very late with my review this month because it took longer than usual for the Russian site of Burda to have the complete preview online, but believe me, we haven't missed much.
I scratched my head when the first partial previews came out, but as usual, I wanted to see the complete magazine before forming an opinion.
This time, I really don't know what to say.
WHAT?! A rectangle? AGAIN?!
What is this overskirt thing supposed to be???
Leaving the patterns aside (which are quite horrible anyway, IMHO) for a moment, what did the stylist of this shoot smoke? Who are these looks supposed to inspire?
An otherwise nice coat LINED WITH A FREAKING FUR JACKET??? What?!
And finally, the garment you just can't live without: a short sleeved faux fur jacket with no closures.
Wait, WHAT?
I know I'm rarely impressed by Burda anymore, but this month was just a series of what-the-f moments for me.
The only patterns I actually like in this issue all come with a "but":
I like this tunic, BUT it's for plus sizes and I don't even want to think how difficult it can be to assemble following Burda instructions...
I like this dress, BUT if it makes a model look pregnant that much, what will it do on a normal person? Or is this supposed to be a pregnancy dress and I didn't get it from the Russian site? (This is also the vintage pattern of the month).
I (moderately) like this dress, BUT I've seen it at least three times in the last few issues. Also, why is the model wearing football shoulder pads? Because those can't be regular shoulder pads, unless they were ripped directly from an 80's dress.
Given the current state of this magazine, please consider giving a couple minutes of your time to sign
Silvia's petition for a better Burda. I don't know about you, but I'd really like for things to change.
