The original Focus was primarily designed by Ford of Europe's German and British teams. The Ford Focus is a compact car ( C-segment in Europe) manufactured by the Ford Motor Company and created under Alexander Trotman's Ford 2000 plan, which aimed to globalize model development and sell one compact vehicle worldwide. Hopefully this means we will get a bang-on December issue, but only a month of waiting can tell.Front-engine, front-wheel drive, (most models) or all-wheel drive (RS only)ДЇord Escort (Europe, North America and Argentina) But on the whole IвЂ™m not as impressed as IвЂ™ve been the rest of this year. There are certainly things from this issue that I want to sew, and likely may make in the future. As Nina Garcia would say вЂ“ who is their girl? I canвЂ™t really tell. I often donвЂ™t think I would style a lot of pieces in the same way as Burda, but I often feel like certain selections are at least a cohesive wardrobe option. Almost like a hodge-podge of leftover designs that didnвЂ™t quite fit in other issues. But the looks all feel very disjointed this month. IвЂ™m still a bit disappointed вЂ“ November is usually one of my favorite issues. Not BurdaвЂ™s best look.ДЄnd there we have it вЂ“ another issue of Burda in the books. Can she even walk in that? How does it not ride up? The flap looks purely decorative, and the fit looks incredibly uncomfortable. The BWTF was also a bit difficult to pick out, but after fully considering the options I have given it to:

The white sweater/hoodie/jacket/thing! I really loved that Plus dress, but this look felt more seasonal, more versatile, and quite possibly more wearable. After much internal debate IвЂ™ve decided to award theВ Best of BS November 2016 to: Nothing spectacular, but nothing truly heinous either. Which makes it a bit difficult to pick the top and bottom looks for the month. Like I said, there are certainly plenty of wearable looks, but nothing really outstanding. Not very exciting.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s about it! The kids section isnвЂ™t any great source of innovation this month either. Since itвЂ™s starting towards winter, letвЂ™s start off with the coats: Which probably speaks to the wearability/versatility of the designs, but it also doesnвЂ™t make me stand up and start tracing.В In any case, letвЂ™s take a look: I fell like all the pieces IвЂ™m really responding to are very similar in silhouette and style to pieces Burda has published in recent months we well, or at least to patterns IвЂ™ve got in older issues. Now donвЂ™t get me wrong вЂ“ there are still some good wardrobe pieces in this issue вЂ“ but no real stand-outs. Which is why I was so looking forward to this yearвЂ™s November issue, and possibly why I feel so disappointed.

Typically I love the fall/winter months вЂ“ October, November, and December tend to be among my favorite issues each year. There have been a lot of stylish, wearable looks that are very on trend and exciting enough to make me (and a lot of other people) want to sew. I donвЂ™t feel that I would have much argument with the statement that Burda has been knocking it out of the park this year.
