While I appreciate the stripe matching on the sleeves (I mean, wow), this dress looks like it is eating the model in the magazine photo. Normally the ubiquitous Burda sack dress isnвЂ™t terrible enough to be worth commenting on, but this particular sack dress stands out вЂ“ literally вЂ“ in a not so good way. Even without the extensive sequined embellishment, the style lines still make this coat one of the most impressive Burda drafts of the year. The collar, the sleeves, the seaming on the back вЂ“ this coat is truly a masterpiece. In the magazine the color scheme of this coat makes it feel very subdued and understated, but the garment photo reveals all of the marvelous details. Definitely one of the most iconic Burda looks of the year. The color blocked design is another that feels very modern, but in a monochromatic color scheme the dress could be very elegant and timeless. Ok, looking back, this dress shouldВ have been chosen as the best of the month. Like, when people look back at all of the crazy things that we are wearing that define this era, this jacket with the color blocking, floral patterns, and zipper trim will be quintessential 2014. Ok, so while this might not be my personal favorite design from my list of top picks, I feel as thought this design feels very 2014. So, without further ado, letвЂ™s get to the awards! The knit topвЂ¦ what was I thinking? So, IвЂ™m going to retroactively fix this in the end of the year results. Secondly, looking back I donвЂ™t know how I didnвЂ™t pick one of the dresses as Best of for the August issue! The color blocked dress is clearly one of the most iconic from the entire year, and the high-low hem with the open back saw a lot of love on the blog-o-sphere. Though my Best/Worst Awards are only chosen for designs from the regular issues, I thought it would be a shame not to mention this fantastic dress design in the year-end wrap-up. However, the lovely cut-out details and flattering design made a big splash with me and the rest of the internet. This design was from the Fall/Winter Burda Easy Magazine, so not part of the regular Burda subscription. To recap, here were my picks for Best of BS 2014:ДЄnd here were the nominees for BWTF 2014:
