The plus-s...Hmm, that actually kind of makes sense. The plus-size designs always look too... old for me. Bear in mind that I'm a youngin'! They usually look like something that someone in their thirties would wear, because for some reason the fashion industry always equates plus-size with 30+ women. My 22 year old self gravitates to the straight-size designs, and it would make sense that someone in their thirties would gravitate toward the plus-size designs (I'm assuming you're in your thirties, based on your about me page and forgive me if I'm wrong).

It seems like every month when I get my Burda magazine, my favorite designs are the ones that don't come in my size range: either they're plus size, or tall sizes!Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11189513869927434997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-47222335731313583782013-01-20T19:39:45.610-06:002013-01-20T19:39:45.610-06:00I love those styles!

I got the BurdaStyle book as a gift last year, but have yet to use any of the patterns in it yet, so this definitely helps me know what I'm dealing with before I begin. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5942397277086320916.post-88418096200901222462013-01-20T13:21:36.842-06:002013-01-20T13:21:36.842-06:00The main difference to me is that the other compan...The main difference to me is that the other companies have my size and Burda doesn't (except in their sucky plus-size clothes, and it's silly that I'm plus-sized in their line to begin with). I wouldn't be so bitter if it wasn't for the fact that most of their patterns seem to cut off *just* below my size. I'm a 48, and while some of them go that high, they never seem to be the ones I like and most cut off at 44 or 46. Ugh.
