The top stitching, the pockets, the contrast trim, even the color is perfection. I'll admit the blue version is quite fetching as well. I'm always tempted to pair a jacket and skirt together--in my mind--to make a suit, but then I wonder: would I really wear them together? It just seems a bit precious. I've a hankering to make Sidonie Variation 2 in tan though to go with the jacket.The one thing I don't really like about Easy Fashion is the downloadable pattern. I don't mind that Burda makes the pattern available to everyone, but I wish they'd include it in the magazine as well so I wouldn't have to download it. Despite my principles, I kind of like the tunic/dress featured on the cover. I'm stymied by these sack dress things though, I always want to belt them, but doesn't that defeat the point? Shouldn't you just make a dress with waist shaping if that's what you like? Plus it falls in that fine line between too long tunic and too short dress.
I sort of want to make these pants
They remind me of the pants that Tom on Project Catwalk kept sewing
This picture doesn't really do them justice.
The judges thought they were the most unflattering things, like a diaper, and basically promised him if he ever did that design again they would "send him packing" (in the words of Kelly Osbourne). Now the Burda pants aren't quite that noxious, and I would make them just because it's an unusual (and somewhat jodhpurs-esque ) silhouette.
