Seriously, what part of "your design will be worn at the charity event in NY as well as being made available to the public on Project Runway.com" did these designers not understand? One would think that those two "big deals" would have inspired them to churn out something really spectacular. I was amazed at the lack of really stellar dresses with good, solid skill sets shown on the runway. Is it me, or are others tired of the whining, "we only had 10 hours to complete this," or "our models were not of model proportions." Really? This challenge was a good one: a good cause, real life proportions and is starting to weed out those who are in it for the long haul.

I was disappointed they trashed the shirt dress, so much. Ok, perhaps the material was too shiny, but the design and the style are timeless. The dress is a wearable garment to the office, and could easily be a decent price point for working folks like me who sometimes shop at Macy's. While pretty, I could never dream to wear the top that Gordana made to my office; I'd be sent home. It plunges way too low and exposes too much skin. I think this is where the Judge's miss the mark when they talk about something you can wear to the office, or for day wear. Where? They are so far removed from the reality of what people can wear it's beyond comprehension.

The team worked well together and they produced items that could fit the "INC" brand at Macy's. Trust me, I've seen a lot worse within that brand at Macy's. Maybe, the blues didn't quite meld between the two pieces, but to have the Judge's say that the workmanship was sloppy, or not well done (I don't remember their exact words, but my words aren't off the mark), I thought was in appropriate. I'm glad both designers made the cut.
