 2 members like this. I got my spring Burda Plus and I have to say I am delighted. This is the Burda Plus I knew and loved.
These are new patterns, with a few of the regular patterns from the last six months sized up. I can see several patterns I want to make.
I am glad I kept my subscription. this is an outstanding issue. What does everyone else think?

Date: 2/23/13 4:51 PM I was really impressed too. A nice range of styles and shapes. (And only a couple of sack shaped tops that use the drape of the fabric to suggest that they fit. ) As usual the ones I like the most are the least suitable for my lifestyle.
Especially 421
and 406B
I would however wear this jacket (414) to death
and these trousers (418)are a great shape
The sleeves/flaps on 432 are a bit weird which is a pity because the body of the dress is really interesting.
I think this issue will be the first I've bought since 2010. |

Date: 2/25/13 3:37 PM I love this issue! The patterned dress posted above with the jacket? That seems to be a variation on the ruched dress I made in December and I LOVED how that looked. I might need to do this new sleeveless dress. Or create butterfly sleeves to go on it, which is what I was planning on doing with the original ruched dress.
This dress is adorable and actually fits my lifestyle.
This top is totally sexy and does not fit my lifestyle, but I might need to make it anyhow.
And I have finally decided to quit waiting until my sewing is "good enough" to sew up some of my silk fabric. This might be the dress I use for my first silk project. I'd shorten it, though. (And my goodness, I love how often Burda dresses have pockets!)
My husband did ask me if the models were "all communists," which cracked me up. I said it was a German magazine and he said, "East German?"

Date: 2/25/13 9:35 PM These look great. Thank you for posting. Maybe I should subscribe - Burda arrives in my shop here in New Zealand by sea which means the November issue is New In Store this week.

Love this, but what communist features am I missing? |

I don't know! He says, "They look like old-school, hardcore Russians from the 1950s. Have you seen the Russian soldiers in North Korea during the Korean war? That is what they remind me of."
I have NO idea where he's getting that from, but it cracked me up. |

Date: 2/26/13 8:52 AM I suspect it might be that the models are all "larger"...well fed, and strong looking!(not like the stick models in all the other sizes! |

I think it might be, in part, this picture:
