Wool & Words

Yes, it's reality TV. Yes, there's a bit too much personal business going on this season. But Lord, I love this show.

Robert should have been auf'd last week. That mumu thing was MooMoo-hideous. Jeffrey should have also been knocked out of competition (wouldn't that be a twist?) for being a general jack-ass AND designing a crap-tastic tanker of a dress for his model. Angela, Kayne, Uli, and Laura were all able to design and execute separate pieces that were well made and (mostly) flattering in the time allotted; why did these guys wuss out on the underconstructed garments they produced? Micheal and Vincent made dresses that had intriciate construction challenges (because a fitted garment and a reversible one aren't easy either), and either design could have worked on a variety of bodies. And the way Jeffrey treated his model? I still don't like Angela, but he was just downright awful to her mom.

Vincent's dress was great--wearable, age-appropriate, and timeless. Uli's, while pretty, just didn't do it for me. As a woman of a certain size, I have an intense dislike of anything that says "floaty mumu"--even when it's a diaphanous concotion of Uli-licious print. LOVED Michael's reversible dress; well, loved everything EXCEPT for the huge belt loops which just screamed bad ready-to-wear to me. But the shaping and the fabrics were great; I could see any of the women in the challenge wearing that dress (resized and proportioned, of course) because it was a flattering silouhette.

Anyone want to share their top 4 speculation? My money's on Micheal, Uli, Vincent, and Laura.
