BurdaStyle Germany has posted the
early preview of the April edition. My first impression: meh. Very meh. I mean, some things look ok, but nothing looks spectacular.
 |
| This is fine, but not as pretty as the similar dress in the previous issue. |
 |
| The skirt is fine, but boring. |
 |
| Pants might be ok, but the shirt is another sac shape. |
 |
| Very fashion-y photo, but I don't think I would wear this. |
 |
| I predict this top will be a hit, but those pants are not cute. |
 |
| Finally - a possible candidate for BWTF April? |
So... I am not super excited for the April issue so far. Of course, things could change when I see the full preview, but right now I am all for skipping ahead to May.
Burda has three issues to convince me to resubscribe for another year, but it's not looking promising. I have noticed that they are putting more of each magazine's patterns for sale on their website and I've calculated I could buy about 17 patterns for the cost of a year's subscription. As there has been nothing I've wanted to sew from the first three issues this year, it's getting more and more likely that I'll let my subscription lapse.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I haven't found the first couple of issues this year to be as exciting as the last couple of issues from last year. On the other hand, there are still at least a few patterns I have been wanting to make up in each magazine (actually I went a bit crazy this week and I already have 3 patterns from the March Burda cut out for sewing this weekend). I think I still get enough from the magazine to justify my subscription, and often I find patterns I overlooked when I go back through my older issues. That, and I hate dealing with downloaded patterns, but that might just be me. And, well, my subscription doesn't run out until much later this year, so I am hoping that there will be enough in the meantime to keep me interested for next year. If not I can always search for "good" issues on Ebay!
DeleteWow, not one, but two mullet tops! Hmmm, I will have to reserve judgement.
