Yes, those flats would have been so cute with some cigarette pants and a great jacket.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Yes!

Because books.
I love Bradon. I was willing to see what he did with the dress, but it wasn't right for the shoes. If he had more time to finesse that technique in a full dress, with the right shoes, I think it could be interesting.
I'm at that point where I want a black fabric moratorium for at least a season, too. Speaking of, I was really underwhelmed by Helen's dress. It looked really well made but it was sort of nothing to me.

Yeah, it seemed like the judges mostly liked the capelet. And that was pretty cool and it's probably not super easy to figure out how to get the length and volume exactly right, which I do think she did. I don't know what was modern about it, but I never know what is modern about anything.
I'm with you on the black fabric moratorium, Amy. It's just hard to see why this black dress is better than that black dress on TV.

Hey! (Obligatory goth protest.)
But for PR, that makes sense. Showing design details on black fabric is difficult.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Yeah, I sort of expected them to say the design that ended up winning was boring, based on what I could see on the tv.

Hey, I love black. It just doesn't read that well on TV. And even the judges have a hard time! When it's a really unusual shape or structure it's better (think Christian Siriano) but Helen's dress was just BORING.
At least for one *challenge* they could disallow it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
DAMN, Jasmine!

INORITE?!?!?! My only issue with her solo is that her skirt was too long so that you could not see her magnificent strong legs.
Also, thank you Cat Deely for wearing a camisole under that top so that we can avoid seeing side boob.

And if we needed more reasons to love Cat, she's the reason Jasmine is on the show???
