The line drawing doesn’t show this, but the pattern has you cut a double layer and only fringe the top layer which makes it slightly more practical. It’s probably way too much look for me to pull off, but I think it would look cute on someone younger. The cowl neck sweater on the left with the shredded/fringe bottom intrigues me. My only complaint is that I really wish Burda gave us the pattern for that top too! I was just at DSW and there were two full rows of black knee high boots so they must be having a moment right now. Fantastic styling for once – this whole look is really in right now. I’d make the tabs from leather and perhaps add some buckles or other hardware to snazz it up a bit. My first pick is this 70’s style A-line skirt with a front pleat and decorative tabs on the side. There were a handful of items I liked though and the plus size section was great so it’s still worth the subscription price to me.


Generally the December issue has some fun party dresses and fancy tops, but the dresses this month bored me and the tops were mostly oversized and shapeless. This month’s issue of Burda was a bit of a let-down for me.
