Twenties Sophistication: 8 New Patterns

ShareThis
Tweet

First from the February 2013 issue of burda style magazine, we bring you twenties style patterns, which are the epitome of sophistication. These styles are revived in black and white with lovely contrasting details. The result is pure elegance, and just as classy to wear for daytime! But a great pair of T-strap heels will sure elevate these garments to the next level for evening.

Totally relaxed and very self-assured is this lady in the Pleated Top. The pleats and stripes are already in the fabric, so it’s a garment that even beginners can make. Just sew the bust darts and bind the edges and your finished!

This feminine Shirt has sewn-on bands and a charming bow. It will pair perfectly with a nice pair of pants or a skirt! What better to pair it with than this lovely Pleated Skirt. This full sized skirt is ideal for a day out! It has side pleats, a deep center inverted pleat, and a unique waistband.

You can’t have a twenties collection without a Flapper Dress! A low waist and loose drape produce that typical androgynous look, which created a whole new female image in the 1920s. Ribbons accentuate the silhouette, while the wide neckline lets you just slip the dress on easy.

This Raglan Shirt is casually chic like Coco Chanel! It is made from pure, thin silk jersey. The design is essentially simple, but striking with its gathered raglan sleeves. Complete the classy look with opulent accessories like a large hat and pearls.

This little Short Jacket is beautifully decorated with contrasting edges. It is kept closed with hidden snap fasteners for a clean look. We love it worn with these Marlene Trousers that have a high waistband and striking front pleats.

Straight lines, but also playful and chic is the essence of this Chiffon Blouse! Details like the pointed collar, the covered buttons and the special little wing sleeves give the classic blouse a unique, carefree look.

Happy Sewing!

Why no bra Burda? Not that I don’t love nipples but unless I’m out hooking I keep the daylights on low. Especially in silk jersey. Otherwise, hit collection!

Thank you Burda, this is the best BurdaStyle in ages! I’m really excited about the patterns. There are always many patterns catering for ‘big’ ladies, so it’s really nice finding something that suits me : I’m very small and slim.

Great clothes…but PLEASE put bras on your models! Or at least nipple covers! Your description under the raglan shirt says “Complete the classy look with opulent accessories like a large hat and pearls.” But there is NOTHING classy about showing off your breasts like that. Go ahead, call me a prude! :-P

You’re a prude. ;-)

Righto… I don’t equate obvious nipples with class either. It isn’t prudish (we’re not anti-breast, after all), it’s avoidance of being vulgar (right, Tim Gunn?). Nips shouldn’t distract from the clothing…

I really like this king of collection because the patterns can be “applied” on so many types of fabric/ prints. Really beautiful and sophisticated!

I absolutely LOVE, this style. So ladylike and feminine. I’ve been watching Downton Abbey (masterpiece theatre) and admire the styles.

I love the top with the skirt,,

WOW!!!! There is so much “must-sew” this time! The skirt, the trousers, the shirts … I just have to make it all!!

And to go with it all – the shoes <3 Where can I get the shoes??

Burda has some lovely patterns – and I’d even consider the raglan shirt…it’s very ‘me’ – but I’m second guessing it….the Chiffon blouse has structured lingerie under it but nothing under the raglan…on what appears to be a very cold day? This photo shoot is just kinda silly. The female form is lovely….this is just poor art direction.

Just beautiful, especially the pants! But I have to mention the SHOES. Divine two-tone styles…where from?

I can only agree … The first pair of two-tone is just to god to be true. I want them too. :)

beautiful and timely – all of these are going to be SO in vogue as soon as the new film version of “the great gatsby” comes out…

Looovely!! Finally originality in the details and a strong style!

Very elegant! I’ve been watching and drooling over the costumes of the show Downton Abbey, so 1920’s styles are right in step with my current inspiration!

Beautiful collection. I have to start sewing mine immediately!

OMG! I love these patterns!!! They are, indeed, for slender ladies – I am now officially inspired to lose enough inches to wear them! Beautifully done, Burdastyle!
