#108 – I’m not a huge fan of this style of dress for myself, but I do like the neckline detail. I think the neck flap is an interesting detail, and it could be a really cool way to play with pairing different fabrics in a fun way. #118 – Burda is sort of winning with the “basic dress + 1 cool detail” recipe in this issue. #105 – The dress is also super cute! It’s pretty basic, but I really like the neckline scarf detail. I also think this could look super cute with short sleeves for the summer months as well and that would be a super easy modification to make. The neckline detail is subtle, but really pretty, and I love how this dress looks great in a solid and in a print. #106 – Burda has given us a lot of great sheath dress patterns over the years, but I still love it when they come out with more. There are some great dresses in this issue as well: I think the white fabric doesn’t really do the garment justice in the garment photo, but I do really like the way this looks on the model.
Also, I always appreciate a high collar because I hate when my neck is cold.

The two-way zip is a cool feature, and I like the elastic cuffs as well. I like the back flap, and the streamlined fit and waist tie detail. #114 – These sort of oversized trench coat/parka mashups also seem to be having a bit of moment lately, and I think this one has some nice details. I like the collar top stitching detail here, and I think Burda did a nice job with the styling. #120 – These sort of cape style have been really trendy over the past few months. On me, the seam line and pocket placement would definitely look weird, but I think this could look really stylish on others. #104 – I love a good printed coat! I don’t know that I’d choose this particular pattern over others I already have in the stash to use for myself, but I do think that this coat has some nice structure. The pieced shawl collar is an interesting detail, and I like the overall shape of the piece. It looks super cozy in both of these images, but I could imagine styling it with fancier outfit and it would still look pretty sharp.
#101 – I think this is another great option! It has this interesting mix of being a long jacket but also having a vaguely cardigan-ish feel. #103 and #102 – I really like this jacket/coat pattern! I think this style has that nice balance of being casual but also polished, and I really like the relaxed fit of the shoulders and the seam lines on the sleeves. As usual, I will start with the coats and jackets:
