La Mia Boutique 05/2013

FINALLY!
The LMB people seem to have recovered from the general insanity of the last months.
Sure, this issue is not all gold, but when there are more than 3 patterns I like, I take it as a very good sign.

The cover and the first photoshoot are inspired by Grace Kelly. YES!
Elegant, feminine, classic vintage silhouettes... What can I ask more? I'm not crazy about the very aging styling, but let's not dwell on that.
LOVE the princess-seamed bodice with the unusual dart placement. The bow belt is a very cute touch.

This dress had me literally squealing over it. So many lovely details. It even has French pockets!

I don't care too much for the coat, although it's not bad at all, the dress is the true star here. Another very, very nice vintage inspired dress with a beautiful pleated skirt.

Then we have something more modern but equally beautiful. The neckline is absolutely stunning and the draped skirt looks very elegant.

I think I'd love this dress a lot more just with the short, gathered sleeves. That's one pattern piece that I'm possibly going to trace and use as a variation on another pattern.

This looks more like a dress to me, but it's styled as a tunic with pants underneath (sorry, I scanned the wrong photo). Anyway, it's a very cute garment, although maybe not for the best for someone who's trying to hide a bit of belly.

Oh my goodness, the crazy stylist is at it again... I'll let slide, for now.
The top with the cowl is as cute as it is simple and I like the kimono/bathrobe pattern, it could come in handy if I decide to make myself a robe.

Dear LMB stylist, that hat is just too much. Now you crossed a line. Ok?
That being said, the patterns here (plus-size) are very cute, I just love them both.

So, overall... YAY! I'm crossing my fingers this is a sign of good things to come from this magazine, although they are usually pretty inconstant with their stuff. We shall see...

While we're on the subject of sewing magazines, can anyone help me figure out why there's still no complete preview of the June issue of Burda on the Russian site? The magazine is already out and the photos and technical drawing usually have already been up for a while. I'm worried! :(

    You need to register on burdasyle.ru. So you will see new magazine before print date.

    These are gorgeous. Unfortunately it's really expensive to get a subscription to the US :(

    Lots methods are used all over a person's world for placing a good health. The internal revenue service is also improving enforcement, so you may want to contact them.

    I looked through the new burda magazine yesterday but didn't buy it yet. I can't wait for you to see the "sporty" patterns, especially the mesh dress :D

    Thank you so so much!
    Until last month, I could see the content even though I wasn't registered, that's weird!

    It's a bummer having to wait so long, but at least they're coming your way :D These patterns are worth the wait!

    In the event that you are in your forties, otherwise older, a Ottawa bungalow should prove to be considered.

    The later has become obviously the most effective choice.
    I'm able to, however, detect you what this can may do relating to your needs.

    Thanks for the link, but I was referring to the Russian site because they usually post the complete preview (with the technical drawings) sooner.

    I'm sorry, but I'm afraid it's not sold online. You can try asking on their Facebook page if they distribute it in France.

    So you are becoming out again last week. Creating your own t-shirt is one of the least cost choices for you if you do it right.

    Hi Julie,
    La Mia Boutique is sold in France under the name "Idées Magazine" : http://www.journaux.fr/idees-magazine_couture-patchwork-point-de-croix_loisirs-creatifs_103797.html
    It seems that the May 2013 number of Idées Magazine is actually the translation of the April 2013 number of La Mia Boutique (http://paunnet.blogspot.fr/2013/04/la-mia-boutique-042013.html) so I guess this lovely May number will be out on June 10th!
