The June issue greets us with a relaxed mood, an anticipation of warmth, and makes it possible to quickly update the wardrobe by the summer so that you can enjoy the sun and long walks more.
On the whole, I would describe the collection of the issue as “easy to sew, easy to wear,” because the patterns proposed by the magazine fit perfectly into capsules for vacation, for work. My traditional review will help you navigate the choice of model and, possibly, serve as a source of new creative ideas.
Open shoulders

The lovely romantic off shoulder blouse invites us to the seashore. An excellent model for a hot summer, allowing you to unobtrusively demonstrate a tan.
On a note:
- a similar cutout forms a horizontal.
- along the shoulder line, which means it will visually expand them. Owners of a magnificent bust should be wary of such models: assemblies will add volume, and the neckline involves strapless underwear.
Idea:
the blouse is good and in its original form. According to the pattern, you can also sew a wonderful dress, just extending it. You can also play with the shape and length of the sleeve, remove the drawstring, expand it or extend it.
Pencil skirt
- Special offer

Pencil skirts are never too many. Well, and if an interesting detail appears on the skirt that does not complicate the package, it is all the more necessary to sew.
On a note:
show hips in all its glory or emphasize their absence. The contrasting vertical of the lightning in the tone of the blouse, as in a magazine photo, will stretch the silhouette (which means it will visually increase growth and slim).
Idea:
If you don’t like the zipper or suddenly want to sew a few skirts on this pattern, you can remake the clasp on the placket with buttons or accent the fringe cut. A patch pocket will help strengthen fashionable asymmetry.
A-line

And again a skirt, wonderful in its simplicity. A great modern replacement for sun skirts or puffy skirts with oncoming folds. Depending on the fabric chosen, it can be either neutral, or an accent, or a festive item.
Nuance:
The actual length is either mini or beyond the knee and lower right down to maxi.
On a note:
a similar skirt made of fabric with satin sheen will emphasize the tummy, and from a fabric-containing fabric it will visually enlarge the hips.
Idea:
cut the front and back panels in the center and sew a combined skirt. Also, the pattern is perfect for sewing a fashionable satin skirt along the oblique.
Retro charm
- Best-seller

A skirt with which you can sing praises for hours.From plain cotton of natural colors it will perfectly fit into the safari style, from sewing and jeans to boho, from costume wool it will be restrained and elegant with a hint of the 70s, from eco-leather it will be admired insolent, from velvet and taffeta it will be festive. You can slightly reduce the splendor or leave it as it is.
On a note:
emphasize the apparent lack of waist, hide narrow hips. A number of buttons, especially in the tone of the top, will give an additional stretching (and shaping) vertical.
Idea:
combine fabrics of different colors / textures, sew from velveteen for the cool season. (photo10, photo11, photo12, photo13)
Spectacular top
- Special offer

- 4
Spectacular top, beautifully emphasizing the neckline, with comfortable wide straps that hide underwear.
Nuance:
even in the magazine photo you can see that the ODOR diverges on the chest and requires some kind of fixation.
Idea:
You can “grab” the smell with a couple of stitches, or wear a seamless minimalistic sconce in a sports style underneath, or sew a T-shirt from an elastic flesh-colored mesh inside.
On a note:
diagonal folds and the smell forming a V-neckline visually slim the figure.
Loose fit

A good alternative to a shirt in a man's style. Less strict and “sharp”, but no less varied. The fabric chosen will set the “style vector” of the thing: a light cambric with embroidery will bring a touch of boho, discreet geometric or animal prints will be appropriate in the office without a strict dress code.
On a note:
such a neckline will visually narrow the shoulders and lengthen the neck, a straight cut will hide the tummy and the absence of a waist. Ladies with a pronounced waist are recommended to wear a blouse in a gas station or wear a wide belt over it. (Photo16, photo17, photo18)
Summer jacket
- Best-seller
- Special offer

- 4
An excellent version of the summer jacket from the category of "easy to sew, easy to wear." Can make an excellent company for many things from the same issue, becoming an element of the capsule.
On a note:
there is no chest tuck, which means that there is a high probability of a problem landing on a large bust. The belt delicately emphasizes the waist, while hiding the narrow hips. Make sure that the jacket does not end in the widest part of your figure.
Idea:
if you have experience based on the pattern, you can sew both a blouse and a jacket on the lining, suitable for the cold season.
Maxi dress
- Special offer

- 4
A variation on the theme of dresses in a linen style. Perfect for those who do not accept the option on thin straps. You can "play" with the length, combining color and fabric. In combination with a jacket from the same issue, it can form the basis of a summer office wardrobe without a strict dress code.
On a note:
this dress will solve the problem of choosing strapless lingerie (for a large chest, for example), suitable for those who have wide shoulders, especially if you re-cut the neckline to form V. Matte textures and prints will help hide a small tummy.
Fitted Pullover
- Special offer

- 4
Many will surely like this model for its femininity and relief. I will not dissemble, such models are found on the catwalk, but they are always beaten either by the contrast of volumes, or by a new idea, or by a thing of non-trivial cut.
Nuance:
this thing is not the one that can pull out the kit, non-modern equipment with a narrow skirt, skinny jeans (especially worn oneself) and a short jacket in the waist will completely kill any kit.
On a note:
a tight fit will emphasize all the nuances of the figure, a wide V-neckline will extend the neck and slightly expand the shoulders.
Idea:
to wear a thing as a lower layer with things of a loose, semi-adjacent, straight cut.
Sundress
- Special offer
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
The fitted sundress with the effect of a straight cut pulled by a belt. Pay attention to how interesting a sundress looks with a clasp on the side.
Nuance:
a series of buttons in the center would create an additional vertical and slimline. The sewn-in belt will not allow you to vary the degree of tightness at the waist.
On a note:
such a cut is simply ideal for those who have both a waist and a tummy - emphasize the first and hide the second. However, girls with a lush bust can look heavy.
Idea:
the fabric will determine the nature and seasonality of the product - linen will give a slight negligence and relaxation, strict costume coat - composure and elegance.
Tunic
Master Class- Special offer
- 1

- 4
A good tunic in every way. Both the basis for the beach and urban options are also perfect. It can be worn not only with pants, as in a magazine, but also with skirts, shorts, and even solo. It is better for ladies of mouth-watering forms to choose flowing plastic material.
On a note:
hide wide shoulders, lengthen the neck, hide narrow hips.
Idea:
sew a cocktail version of the mini dress by changing the neckline in front to V, round or boat, and stitching from silk.
Puffs
- Special offer
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
Puffs at the waist - the return of long forgotten. However, this is the case when it is better to leave the idea for the catwalk and professional filming, unless, of course, there is a goal, to sew a comfortable dress for the house or summer house. It may look pretty good with a young or very well-groomed appearance.
Nuance:
a similar style in combination with a small or bright floral print can forgive the appearance, turning women into rural simpletons.
On a note:
A V-neckline will lengthen the neck, beautifully accentuate the magnificent neckline, and narrow the broad shoulders. Hip assemblies will add last volume.
