Jerell's would have been great if there wasn't that fringe on the bottom. My favorite was Stella's.

[lobeck]

Suede's was good, but I think Kenley's should have won...

[ManySkills]

Did anyone else think that maybe Kenley's model didn't fit into the top of the dress quite right?

Something was off about it. Having said that, I still agree, it was a contender for the win.

I didn't realize how short most of them were until looking at this.

Some of them were just about indecent they were that short, including Stella's. WOW. I was surprised.

I think the concept of this week's challenge was close to being one of PR's best challenges ever, however this great concept needed to be edited. I like the idea of making a cocktail dress for your model-client and having them do the fabric selection (they should be given more than 30 minutes), but the green angle (also a good idea) should have been deferred and incorporated into a future challenge.

My favorites are Daniel, Jennifer and Kenley. My second tier is Blayne, Emily and Terri.

I don't get Stella and Suede being in the Top 3.

Suede's dress looks unintentionally asymmetrical and there is no rhyme or reason to the weaving (again that seems unintentional). If it had been better executed / constructed, it would have been awesome. Suede's shout out to his mother was sweet.

Korto's dress looked better in the front, she took the darting on the outside theme too far.

Ditto with Leanne's, she needed to dial it back some. Those thingies she puts on her dresses remind me of Angela and her fleurchons (?).

I didn't care for how Jerrell styled his model. I would have liked his dress more if the keyhole was less prominent.

Shannone, Kenley's model stands out to me.

I liked Daniel's take on the little black cocktail dress. I think it was a little short, but that could be said about a number of the dresses. I am not crazy about shorter in front and longer in back, but he made it work.

I hated Jerell's dress. He gets this week's bad taste award. That model looks like she is ready to fall right out of those two swatches of fabric that are supposed to be a top. Just trashy.

Kenley's was my personal favorite. I thought it was chic and sophisticated and simle, the black belt was a great touch and I loved the avant garde collar.

Terri's dress was overlooked by the judges, but I really liked it. I love the navy blue color and the fit was fabulous.

I think that Kenley, Daniel, Terri, Joe and Kelli are my ones to watch at this point. Suede has talent and can think through a design, but that dress was not my style at all. I have to give him credit for the workmanship and how he created the design, but I just don't know about him. I think he is a legend in his own mind.

I actually really like Blayne's dress this week, its hot and young. The brown fabric needs to die, just awful, simply awful. Yuck.

I loove Jennifer's dress.
