Ivy – her dress is a hot mess. I know she wanted her model to look like the sun and I guess it is true that the sun has never seen an iron before either. From the mustard color to the rumpled pleats to the cheap fabric this is a poor showing for our reformed mean girl.

Saint Pancake – Her look is a jumper and I think it’s really lovely. It comes across a little casual for a red carpet, but then again, people lay out step and repeats for the opening of a new flavor of Desani, so Red Carpet might be a flexible term. It is also so clearly DVF-inspired from the print to the flowy drape that I’m actually hoping her idol likes it. What’s wrong with me?

DeadMauth – His design is basic and boring. He is most concerned that the hemline is just ragged chiffon trailing threads. Mizrahi especially seems to be glancing down a lot so he may end up in trouble for that. His model is working as hard as she can though, she walks the whole runway with her navel first.

Joshua and Papa Elsa are the two safest designers. From getting sent home this week that is. They were the two I liked/would wear the most so now I am intrigued who is in the top.

Aryan is up first and gets the seal of approval from Diane. She does think there is a shade too much fabric somewhere, but can’t put her finger on it. Mizrahi continues his love affair with Aryan and calls him darling, while saying the model reminds him of a cult member. Carolyn and Georgina give high praise and claim they would wear this dress if it weren’t for the exposed booty.

This dress is a pirates dream

Ivy is up and tries to spin her earth science knowledge that the Sun is actually a star and gets slammed anyway. Mizrahi tells her that her fabric has never looked worse and Diane even piles in that although the idea was nice, it totally failed.

Also, the moon is a satellite of the earth

Dead Mauth is also ripped to shreds for having a bad design, bad finish, bad embellishments and a bad lining. It’s nice to see the claws finally come out on these judges! I’m not sure I found this as horrible as they did, but his smugness was asking for it, so I’m not complaining.

But why is he wearing his winner’s expression?

Uli is up and everyone loves her dress. Diane encourages her to feed her feather addiction and Georgina cautions that some of the embellishments are unfinished but that it looks great from the front. I love Uli, but this looks like a Craft Corner nightmare to me.

“Oh good, the hypnosis worked!”

MrsMiaWallace is an east coast girl with a  penchant for travel, libations and great cuisine. She is not known to turn down a mimosa or a martini and finds the transition between the two a good way to mark the passing of time since she can never remember to wear a watch. Her secret love for reality tv and addiction to Bravo have drawn her like a moth to the glittering snark of TVGasm,  where she finds there are others like her... hopefully also nursing Bloody Marys.

    1. Why, oh why, does Ivy continue to wear shear chiffon tops? EVERY week?? It drives me bananas!
    2. That green dress Carolyn wore for the runway did absolutely nothing for her boobs. It looked awful.
    3. Poor Ivy. That dress had such potential in the sketch, but a combination of time and fabric quality got in her way. I’m glad she didn’t get sent home. Althea had been middle of the back to bottom 3 too many times while Ivy had been in the top more times than not.
    4.I was irritated with the Spanish bashing of Uli, but they did have a point about her one-way-monkey dresses from her previous season. But she has turned out decidedly NON-monkey dresses so far this season. I didn’t think she was top 3 though. Joshua or Papa should’ve been in the low top 5. I CAN’T WAIT FOR A CHRISTMAS UNCONVENTIONAL MATERIALS CHALLENGE!!! So excited!

    Can we, once and for all, agree that “green fabric” is not for high fashion?! What a bunch of ugliness!

    I want Eyesac’s shoes! :D

    I can wait for the unconventional challenge. I wish we got more of them.

    Season 11 starts at the end of January. I wonder why they’re not spacing out the seasons more.

    @sag: It does? So soon? With RealHeidi? And Tim? Woo hoo!

    MrsMia I cant believe I’m going to say this, but I actually liked Uli’s dress, ribbons and feathers and sequins and satin and eighties-prom-appeal and all! Then again, I am a child of the eighties (not BORN in the eighties but “came up” in the eighties) and that’s a good excuse, right?

    Ivy damn skippy should have have been Auf…er, awkwardly patted on the back “goodbye”. That dress was pass-the-eye-bleach ugly.

    Poor Althea. Go Aryan and Joshua and since she’s finally more diverse Uli!

    I didn’t really like anything this episode. Actually, Emilioth was probably closest, and what gorgeous skin his model has. I admit the hem was a messth!!!

    I don’t like green either, only the bright green DVF had on, with matchy shoes yet, and i heard emerald is this seasons color, not sure if that means the new grey . . .

    St. P’s was fug to me, hated the fabric, but it’s just not my taste, and what do I know . . .

    Althea was doomed from the fabric pick on, I don’t know what she was thinking . . .

    Who the hell is dressing HeidiBot? Heidi K? With each episode her clothing becomes more and more bizarre and eyesoreish. Either that or she has a blind stylist.

    Anyone notice the Mystic tan line on Weinsteins BabyMamas foot? Really, she can afford better.

    And I’ll miss Althea. I liked her on her season and liked her on this one but I don’t feel she’s winner material. But, she clearly has a succesful if small design business so, you go girl!

    Ivy and the weird sheer tops with a bra and shorts. *sigh* These are all her own creations which explains why they all look 1) alike, 2) really well made and 3) boring. Josh and Casa better step it up or they’ll just keep winning ‘Most Forgettable’.
