pattern sizing: Ranges for each pattern differ, but most either cover the ranges of 36-44 or 34-42. The chart at the beginning of the book lists size 34 as (31.5" - 24.5" - 34") and size 44 as (39.5" -32.5" - 41.75"), complete with useful additional measurements such as neck and upper arm circumference, etc.
There is a nice variety of patterns here and instructions for beginners to tackle their first Burda projects. I am pretty picky about what I want to bother trying to make for myself, and I see a few possibilities here.

See Tsedai's review for list of patterns and an experienced Burda sewist's take.

Pros and Cons

The first thing that impressed me when I started reading this book was the detailed instructions. Also, I appreciated Burda's effort to acknowledge that overweight people like to be fashionable, too. But while there were a few cute pieces included that I might consider making, I found most of the clothes to be very unflattering for a plus sized woman.
For example, there were directions for two pencil skirts. I wear pencil skirts, but these two were tapered in at the hem too severely; it could only make the wearer look wider in the hips and thighs, an area that most plus sized women want to play down. (Especially those of us under 5'4".).
I think the major flaw of this book was 'sizing up' existing misses patterns, rather than creating patterns designed and proportioned specifically for plus sizes. Also, the use of size 6 models in a plus sized fashion book was idiotic.
