ZudiBelle and I share the same request for larger images for better viewing of details and fuller appreciation of the design, construction, and realization.

Thanks for listening.

Overwhelmed by the ugliness of this jacket. The expert construction and technique do not excuse this monstrosity.
Better be the emperor with no clothes, than one dressed with this "thing."
I am in the minority of one, but I must state my opinion, and same goes for most Project Runway "creations."

I did not watch the Oscar (no TV) and I would watch the show solely for the dresses.

Of the published photos, for a grown up lady, I like Sandra Bullock's red dress the best, not a false step anywhere on the whole ensemble. For a younger lady, Ms Steinfeld's dress was both elegant and age-appropriate (a rarity, of late.)

About Ms. Blanchette's dress, whatever its merits or demerits, the color was all wrong for her: her blondness canceled out the very pale color of the dress and vice versa.

Ms Kunis' dress, very nice, surely, but it made me think of a nightgown.

Ms Jennifer Hudson's dress was very attractive, a little too revealing for my taste, but very well put together, and the color complimented her style of beauty.

Ms Tomei usually is very elegantly turned out, but not this year, to my view, a miss in the color disparity of the bady vs flounce, and it turned a well fitted dress into...thrift-shop wear.

On the whole, I prefer to see vibrant colors and elegant dresses that don't depend on excessive decolletage for attention; not too tight that the horizontal creases show (in satin especially;) not over-elaborate construction or fabric design.

These are my opinions, not to be taken too seriously.

PS: the sleeve seams were treated like the hem, I just noticed by switching images.

Maybe the garment has been cut all in one piece (front and back)like those sweaters knitted from side to side. That would eliminate the side seam problem and the stitching give garment some support; but that would not work for the sleeves' seams. Interesting.

I repeat, all designs are ugly, and only those who believe in the reality of 'the emperor's clothes' can call these creations by any other adjective.

It is Monday, August 31st, 8:27cdt, the video is not available. 2 ladies watched it a couple of hours ago. I am baffled.

I don't watch TV so I have been following through your posts.

All I can say is: "what a lot of ugly looking 'stuff,' clothing is too good a word for most of this junk"

The fashion shows have been around so long, and the supposed need to have something new at all cost has reduced the couturiers and the wanna-be couturiers to putting together ridiculous assemblages that make me laugh and cringe at the same time. Am I the only one to think and say this?

I look at the New York times photo essays of these parades of bizarro costumes, and all I can say is: "are people so stupid and easily duped that would actually pay money to be figurea of fun and ridicule by wearing these 'things?'

Since this is a video course to newcomers (mostly,) a little hint to make the hook stay flat is to sew a few stitches on the hook shank, between the 2 metal loops and the hook itself.

My mother always did this, and taught me to do it, also so the garment would look more finished.
