"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, my satellite dish apparently filled with snow during the reveal. I have deduced the elim, but who won? It`s a shame it wasn`t the natural dress.

I liked them both, but I would have voted for the one that actually looked like burlap.

I forget the winner's name, but it was the black dress with the skirt that looked like feathers.

I liked Mila's dress, too, and her "farm to the future" story was a good idea.

I think it was Jay that won.

I do understand why Ping was kept in despite the BARE ASS, but I agree that Jesus with the ribbon skirt should have been out.

Jesus with the ribbon skirt should have been out.

This is a country western song begging to get made.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A gay country western song.

I was really impressed with a lot of those dresses. The dying, especially.

Yes, for their next challenge: make a silk purse out of a sow's ear.

Bwah, sumi!

The one we liked that didn't win was particularly impressive to me. I couldn't believe the flow and bounce of a fabric I have worked with and have never seen drape beautifully ever.

I can imagine that it would have been difficult to figure out how dye would take on such a loose grained fabric.

Because books.

That dress was fantastic, and I would have chosen it over the winner, despite the excellent dye job on that one.

I was surprised that there weren't more train wrecks, given the fabric. And I was even more surprised Emilio didn't make it to the top three -- I loved his, too, although maybe it was a little too daytime?

Ping baffles me. I guess I can see how she thinks outside the box or whatever, but so far nothing has looked wearable to me. Even last week, all that flowing, draped fabric -- it might make a statement, it might be comfortable, but I bet it's a bitch to put it on and make sure it's all draped *properly* and not about to slide off in inconvenient places.
