These last two weeks, they were partnered up in name only - they each had a client, they each had a garment, there was no teamwork at all that I could see. Is it just a way of keeping people on the show that are good for drama, but would have been out in the first two weeks any other year *cough* Patricia *cough* Ms. McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02190263303526887994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-18862295258902542142013-03-04T07:29:24.521-05:002013-03-04T07:29:24.521-05:00I thought Richard's dress was terrible too.

It looked like a beach cover-up to me. <br /><br />As for who will make it to the end, I think the ones to watch are Daniel, Michelle, and Tu (despite this week's poorly finished dress).

Although I have to say, I really, really hated Richard's design. I know the judges loved it, but I thought it was just a shapeless sack with a black stripe and a gathered half-waistband slapped on to make an attempt at shape. Those pantsuits were both gorgeous, but Stanley really surprised me by stepping up from mediocre and creating something really amazing.<br /><br />I'm kind of not liking the teams aspect. Patricia really just needs to go home! Any predictions of who'll win the season yet?Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00596360832206980948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-39881305418472590852013-03-02T08:41:48.154-05:002013-03-02T08:41:48.154-05:00I always like it when this challenge shows up beca...I always like it when this challenge shows up because -lol - I'm maybe a decade or two away from this demographic myself. The two pantsuits were definitely the best. Kate's floral skirt was really great and illustrates an Iron Rule of Fashion, e.g. No Florals Above The Waist After Age 40 (trust me on this one). Benjamin's inability to get his act together just baffled me because in the beginning he was so full of promise and I while I love Patricia's surface embellishments and fabric manipulation her garments are too simple to make it all the way through to the end. But then again I never thought Anya would win either so we shall see.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04668161467072636784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-50544399897088074732013-03-02T07:50:09.917-05:002013-03-02T07:50:09.917-05:00i have a feeling i love your series more than i mi...i have a feeling i love your series more than i might love the damn show this year. i watched one episode, rolled my eyes, and went back to sewing!marcy harriell | oonaballoonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07586073125331744719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-36405574027318562412013-03-01T20:18:04.731-05:002013-03-01T20:18:04.731-05:00You're totally right.

His last dress was amazing, but he has been so uneven...i think he's used to not leaving an iota of ease (that last dress was perfectly fitted, but if the model had a glass of water it may have been too tight too!).<br /><br />I thought it was interesting that Kate keeps saying that she likes working with Tu because he's nice to her and no one else has been kind. I think she's awfully sensitive for someone who has consistently said, "I'm here to win, I'm not here to make friends. I don't care what anybody else thinks!"

When you look at her in the fittings, the bodice fit is much better and her breasts are in the right place in relation to the bust apex of the princess seam. Adding a sleeves - albeit a tight one - didn't change the bust overnight. Yes, the sleeves were too tight and the hem on that dress is atrocious, but they kept picking on the fit of the bodice and I don't think it was entirely his fault. How do you tell a granny, "Listen, your boobs are in the right place now so make sure you wear this bra again tomorrow."?<br /><br />Also, I think that between Benjamin and Amanda there was a lot of worrying about Amanda's dress and very little consideration of Benjamin's. Of course, it may have been edited that way, but there's a lesson to be learned regarding collaboration: You can't focus the majority of your attention on your teammate's garment but at the same time you need to be honest and sometimes even blunt in your critiques. Tu and Kate are a perfect example of this; she said to him "Are you sure you can do this?" But then when Tim came to critique them she hurriedly assured Tim that Tu could finish. She's a bit afraid of stepping on people's toes, I think.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11447949592701882774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5695034534740404365.post-19388933791448070592013-03-01T19:45:16.304-05:002013-03-01T19:45:16.304-05:00I know.
