I plan to trace a few things in this issue (although it strikes me as more of a "sleeper" issue on the whole.) I really love top #102, even though its "suited for a small bust". (They do give a little hint for those without the small bust... topstitch the pleats down. I might try it the original way first just to see.)
And these shorts are adorable...I may have to grade these up:
CUTE summer bandeau top; perfect with that bolero they had a couple months ago in the plus section!
And you know I'm all over this mixed print woven top, #133:
Since I've always been a fan of retro and vintage, there were 3 things in this issue that I thought were especially lovely. Skirt #127, with an optional tulle overlay:
Love dress #128:
And top #123 has a very 40s secretary vibe to me. Add a pencil-y skirt & a french roll and I think I hear 1944 calling!
I like dress #129 too...another knit with a zip though (BWOF you slay me.)
I'm seeing a trend here...lots of pleated detailing and interesting wraps & crossovers. Also lots of fitted details, which I like! I'll bet some of you have favorites I didn't notice on my first perusal! Can't wait to see what you think!
So cute! Maybe mine will come today... A lot of those cross-over details would be pretty nursing friendly, which is a boon to me these days. :)
ReplyDeleteOOOh, I missed top #102! New fav! I have a small bust so that will be fabu! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a sleeper issue, although nice items, just not much new. I splurged for a BWOF 6 month subscription and was kind of disappointed, alot of rehash from last year, even though a beautiful rehash.
ReplyDeleteYup, ditto on all the same faves! My issue came yesterday, too. My subscription will be ending soon, so I've got to decide if I want another year. I already know I do, but wished I was more productive with them!
ReplyDeleteI love the mixed print top too. Aren't those pockets adorable? I think I'll try to reproduce it with some patterns that already fit me.
ReplyDeleteOh skirt 127 is adorable! I love the vintage looks, too!
ReplyDeleteI love that skirt and top 123!
ReplyDeletei cant wait to receive mine :)
Everything except the shorts is also on my list. I really like this issue!
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping the pleats will take me from an A cup to a C cup; just for a day.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely loved this issue. I think it is one of the best ones I have ever gotten. I just wish I had the time to sew everything in it I want.
ReplyDeleteOOOH, you got yours already? I'm still waiting on mine - I can't wait either because I have to make that bandeau top!
ReplyDeleteOh, I might have to buy this issue, thanks for posting all these great garments.
ReplyDeleteI love the first top and shorts, and both dresses you picked out. My Burda is sitting on my kitched counter while I'm on vacation. *sob* I can't wait to read it first thing when we get home. :)
ReplyDeleteThis BWOF issue has a lot of things for me and 16-yr-old DD. I like that last dress you showed for a special occasion. DD wants the tank dress with the circle hole in the back.
