The second Christmas after my wedding, I made angel ornaments out of my ivory silk and brocade wedding dress scraps, and gave them to all the women in my husband's and my immediate families. (I also made little green Christmas tree ornaments for the men, out of scraps from a mantel scarf I'd made for our first house.) Everyone expressed thanks, but I know my mom -- who paid for my wedding, including all of that beautiful material -- was truly touched. She mentions that ornament almost every year, and has sent photos of it when I couldn't get to her place at the holidays.

My husband and I love this show and Randall's costumes, and I'm always thrilled when they give any screen time to his work as they did in the "celebrity designed these" segment.

And boy, do we remember that Paso Doble number for Mel B! I also recall a similarly cut costume on Cheryl Burke once, that was equally stunning. We also loved her Cowgirl get-up with Drew for the freestyle number that secured his win in Season Two. But truly, I'm impressed by almost all the outfits on this show. Randall deserves every award he gets, and then some.

Thanks so much for the great interview, and for sharing this with us!
