Ivy's was boring and basic - construction aside. For all of her attitude, she didn't show much quality in her design or fabric. She should have been "out".

Gretchen's was the basic jumpsuit (as she won with before), just with wider pant legs. She is also a diva who should join Michael Kors and be ousted for her nasty, biting comments about others.

Andy's was beautiful - choice and use of fabric and the design. It should have won. What more do the judges want?

April's - just so boudoir. In fact, with a little more walking, I the model's nipples would have fallen out. Resort wear, indeed! I was thinking more of a strip joint when I saw that.

Cassanova - I don't think he really designed it for his grandmother...I think his English was misunderstood. In fact, I'm NOT a grandmother by any stretch of the imagination and I would have loved to have had his outfit for dinner at any resort. I love the creams and whites. It was loose and beautiful and I bet would make one feel beautiful and elegant.

I am tired of Michael Kors. He is too full of himself and it is not helpful for beginning designers to be made fun of. I think the show is way off-base on this. Perhaps the rest of the world likes to see the designers humiliated but I'd prefer to learn something from the show, including educational critiques, including the judges showing proper or better handling of the fabrics, showing where construction went wrong, and demonstrating in what ways the design could be made better. Why does this show have to be only about cattiness and throwing stones? Why not have some real educational value for those of us to really care about design and garment sewing? Anyone can make fun of another and I bet many of the readers here could make fun of Michael Kors.

How I wish you'd send these comments on to the show. Perhaps they could learn something from your readers.

I have an older serger - a bear to thread, but I have found it pretty useful for fleece jackets. I'd love to explore sewing regular garments with it, but haven't been brave enough yet.
