Burda Germany 08/12

Hi there,

I just wanted to share some great news for me: one of my dresses was published in the August issue of German Burda magazine!

They were very nice and sent me a copy. I had to buy it in spanish as well as I don't remember anything of the german I learned at school and I don't want to destroy this issue.

I was very excited when they sent me an email to ask if they could publish a picture of the striped front knot dress I made back in April. Of course I said yes, I am not crazy enough to refuse such an honour.

When I received the copy home, I think I danced alone in the living room for about 15 minutes. And that was before opening the enveloppe!

The german version is so much better than the spanish one. I mean, the spanish Burda has the patterns and that's all. In the german one, there are lots of inspirational, DIY and trend pages, making it a little bit more like a fashion magazine, but making references to the patterns.

I am no cutting  this one open, I might even frame it :)!

So, here is the page, sorry for the very bad quality picture. You might recognize some of the most popular dresses of the Burdastyle webpage:

 

And a zoom:

 

If you are not fluent in german, I think it says something like: "I thought the knot would be very difficult. But it was not!"

Which is true!  I wrote them a little text about the dress as they asked for it, funny they took only this sentence...

Now, I have to say this issue is great, there are lots of very appealing patterns, especially this Jacquard dress:

 

I can't wait to make it!
