We are in the midst of designing our spring collection and we need your help! Pair any of the patterns on our site to create your perfect variation on the traditional pant or skirt suit.
Design and sew a variation of your suit and send a photo to team@burdastyle.com. Once all the pictures are received, they will be put up for you to vote on. The suit with the most votes will be part of our professional photo shoot along with the BurdaStyle creation.
Additionally, the winner of the contest will receive a CD of high resolution photographs from the photo shoot, a look book with prints and cards with the image on it for you to hand out to friends.
Send in your photo of your variation to team@BurdaStyle.com by the 5th 12th of January, along with a brief description on the pattern changes you have done. TIP: Keep it simple. If you are the winner, we will ask you to create the how to explaining the pattern changes as well!!

So to be clear – all the pieces of the ensemble must be made from patterns on Burda Style ??

Cool competition! I don’t think I have enough time to make both a top and bottom by the 5th!! but I have just finished an Eva jacket and a rescued Anda skirt so maybe I can enter these?? do they have to be from the same material…?bx

Is dress – jacket ensemble in game, too? Is the suit supposed to be made out of the single fabric? For example – can I make a skirt/dress from one fabric and the jacket from another that matches well with the skirt’s fabric?

For a moment I thought you were talking about an actual pattern design competition… which I would have loved! I’m in the middle of making a trouser suit that should channel the spirit of Marlene Dietrich (at least, I hope it will turn out like that) from patterns I drafted myself. I would have loved to use that as an entry. Of course this way, a lot more members can participate. Good luck to you all!

What if I have sewn a suit based on these patterns in the past, can I still enter the competition?
