What do you know? First
Burda, and now LMB comes out with a pretty decent issue.
There wasn't anything really ugly in this issue, so what you're about to see are the patterns I liked the most or found mildly interesting.
LOVE this dress, especially the little pleats of the skirt and the back neckline. The fabric they used is adorable! I'm not crazy about the cap-like sleeves (do they have a specific name? Enlighten me, please), but they can be easily avoided.
The styling is terrible (no surprise, there).
Such a cute shirt! I love the concealed button-band. The skirt is insanely short.
Again, I love the fabric choice and hate the styling, although I have a bit of a crush on this model and her makeup.
I love trench coats in general and this is no exception. I still haven't decided if I like that it hasn't a lapel, but I think I do.
You can't tell anything in the photo because they made it in black and the model doesn't really look plus size, but all in all, this looks to me like a very flattering dress with some design interest to it. What can you ask more from a plus size pattern (from any pattern, really)?
I really wish they did a better job with the photo.
Now, onto the less exciting stuff.
I don't know about the geometric detail. You need to really like. I think be really nice on a more mature woman.
Lots of interesting stuff going on here: asymmetrical hem, the shirring at the back to give more shape, the square neckline. I don't like everything about it and it's not the silhouette for me, but it's cute.
This doesn't like at all promising on the technical drawing, but once I saw it on the the model, made in a cute print, I really liked it. Again, not the silhouette for me, but it would look stunning on a tall, lean girl.
I like the skirt, but I really don't get the leather tank top, it's so 90's.
Again, I like the skirt but the top is just a rectangle with armholes, which doesn't flatter anyone.
The styling here reaches its peak of CRAZYNESS.
