April's model looked like she stepped in something or got splashed by a bus going through a puddle. But it was still better than Sweet Pea's whateverthefuckthatwas pile of frump. I couldn't believe the judges were praising the skirt on that - it was so stiff and ungainly.
Austin's gown was a stunner. When I lose 60 lbs and win the lottery, I'ma have a dress just like that.
Kenley and Mondo were my not-in-the-top favorites. Kenley's was a little too girly-girly for something I'd wear personally, but it was beautifully made and I appreciated the use of polka dots.
Ball gown /= opera gown in my book.
Oh, I thought that was what they gave in the parameters.
I think they simply said "a gown for the opera," with as much of a couture feel as possible.
My problem is I hear "gown" and anything with a fullish skirt looks wrong. And when I hear "opera gown," I'm immediately in Gilded Age Manhattan or something.
Is 3 too much?
No, that was my point. They complained that the accessories were too much.
I do think several designers failed to take into account that a woman going to the opera has to be able to sit comfortably in her opera gown and ideally stand up again after the show without the back horribly wrinkled.
I still can't get over how much I liked Austin's gown, because I'm really not a gold lame person. But that was expensive and soft-looking, more like melted gold than the super shiny cheap stuff you usually see.
No, that was my point. They complained that the accessories were too much.
Ah, okay, then I fully support you!
I am currently favoring a Nyesha vs. Beverly finale.
That would be so awesome!
Mostly I want Nyesha back in because I want it to be someone that earned getting back in with multiple wins, and not just the last person who got kicked off. (Also, she really got the shaft when she got kicked off.)
The Last Chance Kitchen is a great idea for this show, because it seems like there is always some egregious elimination of someone you'd expect to see in the finals.
Finally watched Project Runway: very happy with the results. I really loved Austin's dress.
