I feel like going back to the 1960s today. Who would like to join me on a short trip through the pages of Burda Moden? All these warm-weather clothes appeared in the May 1969 issue (no doubt to give their readers time to sew their clothes for summer proper).
First, we have a pair of standard 1960s a-line shift dresses, with interest added by rows of daisies embroidered or appliqued on hems and yokes. You can't get a more late-60s-early 70s motif than daisies, by the way. They appeared on everything from wallpaper to vans.
Lace! Lace was fashionable in 1969. But this was not necessarily your mother's lace. The dress on the left looks particularly modern with its bold, geometric lace pattern. In shape it's a classic 1960s shift dress, and there's also just a hint of transparency.
Two summer sundresses in cheerful yellow, the one on the left worn with long trousers. (Presumably it could also be worn without trousers.) And look—both dresses are made with large patch pockets!
(Once again, note the daisies worn by the model on the right.)
These feminine dresses have a rather old-fashioned air: by 1969 nostalgia was in the air. The captions for this photograph, however, indicate that both these garments were made with the latest synthetic materials—so perhaps not quite so old-fashioned after all.
