From this section of the Apparel Magazine website, you can learn about the fashion magazine Burda. 

In 1949 Aenne Burda founded her own fashion printing and publishing company in the town of Offenburg, located in south-west Germany. The first issue of her "burda fashion" magazine appeared in 1950. Ever-increasing magazine circulation confirmed her firm’s success story because "burda fashion" soon became the world’s best-selling magazine for home dressmakers! In 1987 "burda fashion" was the first western magazine to be published in the Soviet Union and in 1994 also the first western magazine to appear in the People’s Republic of China.

With a wider spectrum of contents, new themes and a feminine point of view, "burda fashion" is currently published in 89 countries and in 16 languages. Each monthly issue presents 50 new garments, many fashion and styling tips as well as a detachable supplement with the relevant comprehensive instructions and sewing pattern pieces.

Besides the original monthly magazine, special issues like "burda plus", "burda petite", "burda blouses, skirts and trousers/pants", "burda children", "burda carnival" and "Sewing for beginners" provide a broader range of services for amateur sewers.
