Taking a Look Back: You and Burda in 2024

With its voluminous raglan sleeves, the smocked waist and the XL hem frill is reminiscent of hippie dresses, but the piece is extremely contemporary thanks to the romantic voile. If you want to shape it to your figure, make a tied belt from a scrap of fabric.

Bold color meets a classic cut! The result? A dress in iridescent taffeta with a flattering wrap-effect neckline and a waistband with multiple line of topstitching. It’s classic and trendy at the same time.

Darts at the waist that gently pop open at the top and bottom, deep set-in sleeves: the fashionable blouse shapes an hourglass silhouette, which can be further emphasized by a belt.
 

A high waistline, slightly flared cut, and typical details such as five pockets and topstitched seams? These jeans are a real masterpiece...and a fashion classic, too! The extra touch of the the scalloped waistband adds a contemporary edge to the model.

It's got turned down collars, pockets that merge into the front seams, and topstitching with thick thread. This jeans jacket is close to the original model, but it still surprises us with its cool gathered sleeves. As a bonus, a video tutorial accompanies this pattern to guide you step by step through its creation!
 

Whether you are at the very beginning of your career or are already firmly established, this classic dress in tweed will always make you look good. We love the curved pockets with fringed cord; but if that's too much for you, use other decorative trimming.

Waistcoats can also be feminine, particularly if they are worn directly on the skin, like this cropped model with an asymmetrical button placket. No one has to know that there is a small top underneath…

This piece adds the first stirrings of spring to your wardrobe, but it looks great on cold days with a narrow roll-neck and high boots, too! This dress also features flared sleeves and an asymmetrical, partly gathered panel seam at the front.

The look is just as WOW! Feel free to wear the model as part of a two-piece outfit or with jeans and a blazer. This top is defined by its round collar and integrated mini sleeves.

Very flattering, this midi dress has a softly draping skirt piece that is pleated at the front and a waistband that looks like a belt. The perfectly deep V-neckline is closed at the top by a sporty turned collar, and golden buttons decorate the cuffs.
