August 2025: The New Issue of Burda Style!

Your new issue for August is out! Discover 30 sewing patterns for either bold or more classic looks, without ever losing a touch of style!

The summer season is in full swing! So, as you're enjoying your Burda Style shorts (or skirt! or dress!), you might already sense a touch of autumn creeping into this issue...

This is simply the couture spirit that forever defines Burda Style! Because if you want to create your finest pieces, you need to anticipate—and what better time than during your vacation to sew?

Chic is the name of this issue! Our vintage model, specially featured for the 75th anniversary of Burda Style, is the "Audrey" dress. Reissued from a 1958-1959 model, this piece is sewn in a black and navy jacquard fabric and enhanced by a bow. For this second half of the year, Burda Style celebrates the beginnings and legacy of Aenne Burda, a visionary who revolutionized the world of sewing and redefined feminine beauty. Dive into her inspiring journey through the pages of the magazine!

The magazine starts with the collection "Paris, Mon Amour" inspired by the historic fashion capital, fascinating us with bold cuts and silhouettes that capture the essence of the times—infused with a distinctly Emily in Paris spirit!

The classic wardrobe is revamped with our "Soft Power" collection, made up of a subtle blend of refined elegance and pastel tones, both soft and boldly modern.

Next comes a folklore, romantic vibe with the "Folk Dance" collection for him and her, inspired by traditional costumes but modernized and perfect for everyday wear.

The best of "Bright & Easy" features models that are easy to sew and full of vibrant energy.

Bonus: Keep the vacation spirit going with a DIY pouch to sew from your fabric scraps. Not only is it practical and stylish, but its easy to take everywhere!

In the midst of the 1950s, as elegance and hope are reborn, Aenne Burda, a visionary and determined woman, transforms a marital betrayal into a springboard. She takes over a struggling fashion publishing house and establishes herself as a major figure in creation and women's emancipation. With her elegant and affordable patterns, she offered women the freedom to sew their own sophisticated and modern wardrobes, a success that continues to this day.

The 1950s marked the golden age of feminine chic, embodied by icons such as Audrey Hepburn. The "Audrey" dress (model 130), reissued from a Burda pattern from fall 1958-1959, is the perfect illustration: a fitted and highly feminine jacquard design with a heart-shaped neckline and a charming bow that accentuates the silhouette.

More confident than ever, Parisian fashion expresses its style through every piece in the collection: each detail and fabric reveal a perfectly mastered chic. The new Parisienne no longer limits herself to classic elegance; she dares bold combinations, both modern and truly fashionable.

The blouse 107 is anything but ordinary! A masterpiece, the model's raglan sleeves are split at the forearms and take on a ruffled look. We love the eye-catching print in a refined black & white fluid cotton, perfect to wear all year round.

The must-have piece to sew for a standout look come fall? The cropped jacket 111 in patent leather! The style oozes confidence with its cropped waist and a "bubble" effect created by darts. The double-breasted design reinforces a fashionable and couture aesthetic.

Powder pink, mint green, vanilla yellow… Pastel shades and classic style create an elegant balance in a set of cuts with professional flair, without losing modernity.

The essential piece for classic wardrobes! The coat 126, available in sizes 46-56, is a masterpiece and guarantees a timeless look with trendy details like a large collar, big pocket flaps, and hidden snap buttons.

The pleated trousers 108 stand out as a key piece of the timeless wardrobe, blending classic elegance with a contemporary look. Available in a very feminine powder pink, it charms with its high waist and a triangular flap on the piped pocket at the back— a subtle yet refined detail. Its bonus: the pattern is in pink on the cutting plan!

This collection to sew for both women and men (including three menswear designs) reinterprets the codes of traditional folk costumes with a delightful romantic twist. Let this poetic atmosphere inspire you to incorporate these pieces into your everyday outfits—or your special occasion looks!

The blouse 114 captivates with its precise cut thanks to perfectly placed seams that flatter the figure. The puffed sleeves and flared peplum at the back are right on trend. This blouse enhances every body shape and adds a feminine touch—even when paired with jeans.

And here's a winning look with a subtle hint of romance! The shirt 116A charms with its classic, feminine cut, elevated by sleeves gathered at the wrist with elastic. As for the skirt 117B, its midi length and box pleats give it beautiful volume, creating a silhouette that’s both graceful and elegant.

The mini Best Of collection revisits essential cuts that are easy to sew and mix & match.

Flowing drapes and pleated armholes give the dress 128 a surprisingly sophisticated look, despite its simple construction. The eye-catching fuchsia pink creates a true "Wow" effect!

The trousers 129, with their flared, retro-inspired cut, bring an instant mood boost in a vibrant yellow. Made from ultra-soft nicki fabric and featuring an elastic waistband, this model delivers lasting comfort and a style that's effortlessly versatile.

These patterns and many more can be found in the August 2025 issue of Burda Style, available in stores and on our website www.burdastyle.com!
