There's a few goodies in this month's issue. My favorite is this sweet little dress with the pleated front detail.
The blouse on the cover is cute, I just hate long sleeves in the summer. I can always make them short, right? I don't think I'd use a sheer... or maybe, I would?
I love everything in the kids section. Everything.
The top shown below is super cute, but the model photo is terrible and shows absolutely no detail. Sometimes I wonder what their photographers or editors are thinking!? I've never used elastic thread, so that would be a new challenge!
Meanwhile, I have 2 prom dresses to alter this weekend. The red one needs to come in one more inch on the top (we can't have any wardrobe malfunctions at prom!) and the other belongs to another student of mine who got stuck with a size bigger than she needed, so I'm taking it in on the sides 3/4". You should see this number... lots of skin showing! And I have to take it in by hand, the straps and trim is completely covered in sequins and beads.
Time for another dose of Robitussin. See you all in a few days!

Ooo I actually like the sheer sleeves of the blouse. It'd be good for evening activities when the temp is a bit cooler: dates, etc.
Hope you get better...I love the tunic too and I have the perfect fabric for it...
Love your pics!! I really like that shirred collar top. So different!
I haven't opened mine up yet, even though it arrived today. Been too busy and just got in for the day. Yikes.
I think for summer long sleeves would have to be sheer or look very weird, but if you make short sleeves that blouse will look cute in anything lightweight. I can't wait for the kiddos to get to sleep so I can take a look!
Feel better.
I hope you are feeling better soon! This cold is really hanging on. I really like the patterns in this month's Burda. I think I will make quite a few!
Feel better soon ~ summer colds are the worse!
Re: petite Burda
Look at the pattern measurements. I noticed the difference between a petite plus size and a regular plus size is only 1/2 inch in the neck-to-waist. Un-petiting might be very easy.
I just got my first Burda in the mail this month. :D Unfortunately, there's not anything that is a "must-sew" for me in this issue, at least for now, but it's still exciting to be a full subscriber now.
