In 1957 half a million Burda World of Fashion magazines were sold every month, each issue including up to 80 sewing patterns in three different sizes.
Aenne Burda loved ostentatious luxury, as here in her convertible Volkswagen "Elegance" Rometsch at Baden-Baden’s Rose Parade in 1952.
Some of the most famous designers created styles for her Burda World of Fashion sewing patterns, bringing a touch of Hollywood glamour to every woman’s wardrobe: here an embroidered gown in classy duchesse satin designed by Heinz Oestergaard (1959).
