Burda magazine May 2010 preview Please don't shoot the messenger
Vintage Joan Intermediate Member since 7/16/07 Posts: 9220	Login to reply to this post Like this post Date: 4/7/10 11:30 AM Title should read "MAY 2010" -- sorry! I hesitate to even post this, because although the new issue contains some good things (a few VERY pretty dresses, for example), it also contains the following: -- some very matronly dresses (especially one in particular) -- the most extreme pair of Hammer-type pants I've ever seen -- "karotten" pants (carrot-shaped) -- more safari stuff -- more baggy, shapeless stuff But OK, here's the link. I normally find some of your "hate this issue!" reactions surprising, but in this case I'm just going to duck. (Lol, this probably means some of you will love it.): MAY 2010 Burda Style magazine "all styles at a glance" -- Edited on 4/7/10 11:39 AM -- -- Edited on 4/7/10 11:57 AM -- -- Edited on 4/7/10 2:05 PM -- ------ my shield and my very great reward (Gen. 15:1) ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ http://clearingclearing.weebly.com/

How many months are they going to feature safari stuff? Kind of bizarre. A lot of boring clothing unfortunately. ------ www.nancyksews.blogspot.com

Maybe we should contact Burda and tell them we're sick of safari. Every issue has at least one jacket with a bajillion pockets made out of khaki fabric. UGH. There are, as Joan pointed out, some pretty dresses, but they're interspersed with a lot of blaaaah.

There are certainly some things here that aren't to my taste (you've listed a number of them), but I never expect to like everything, and and there are really a lot of things that appeal to me very much. To my taste, there are some great shorts, a couple of very pretty dresses, a really nice blouse, a pair of kids' pants (hope it comes in my son's size), and a plus shirtdress that I can see my mom really liking. I admit that I am a little baffled each month by the "what is Burda coming to?" posts. I have forty or fifty Burdas dating back to 2002, and I don't really see a clear trend up or down. Some issues appeal to me more than others, but that is natural, since it's trying to appeal to many different tastes. As others have said, I often find that it's the patterns that I overlook, initially, that seem the best in the long run. I also find that sometimes when I first look at the magazine I despise it completely - and then, a year later, I can't remember what I hated so much. I do think that sometimes they really are early on a trend, and that our tastes (even my 44yo taste) will catch up with time. Other times, of course, we just have to pass on a particular idea, of course. There were a few issues a couple of years back that featured so many nipples showing through sheer fabric, and so many extremely plunging necklines (even for Burda) that it quite frightened me - but the trend passed from the pages. When I want to sew and go to my Burda shelf, I almost always manage to find a great pattern that works for what I want. So I don't mind even when there's a dry spell for a few months. :)

Oh ya and NO MORE HAMMER PANTS. Really, I am in Canada and I don't see ANYONE wearing those. Does anyone reading this from Canada (especially larger cities like Vancouver and Toronto) see people wearing those? Some of those dresses were quite nice but if I understand from last month's discussion, this issue should be packed full of dresses. So I think this issue will disappoint many. Still, I just might change my mind by the time this issue ACTUALLY comes out

This time there are so many of the things most people rail about that I was pretty sure it would be everyone's least favorite. Although since I'm usually out of sync with the typical reaction, it really should have told me the opposite!
