…What is it with Burda and in seam pockets that are stitched to the dress fronts? Like these from recent issues…
Sporty / funky patch pockets I get. Discreet lady-like in-seam pockets I also get. These I don’t get. It rather ruins the drape of otherwise classy / funky dresses.
“Home made” comes to mind. And not in the flattering sense of the word š
LOL. I did made a booboo recently and ended up with an inseam pocket hanging towards the back. But Burda’s trick wouldn’t have fixed it – an inseam zipper and lining would have gotten in the way.
I had thought they were trying to save fabric by using the front of the dress as one side of the pocket. But it doesn’t seem to be the case – 2 pieces to each pocket. And a recent step by step instruction in the mag seems perfectly sensible until they unnecessarily stitch the completed pocket to the front.
I’m putting this one down to bizarre German taste! š
Are they afraid we will get confused and put them toward the back of the body and walk like stick models with our hands facing the back of our hips?
