Molly Bloom knows style

I hated the challenge in last night’s episode. Contestants had to use the old fat clothes of the newly thin to make a new garment. Ugh. The majority of plus-size clothes use the worst materials… close your eyes and imagine with me a polyester chiffon shift with a vaguely “ethnic” print layered on top of a darker fabric, worn with stretch pants. At least they had a lot of material. I’m serious.

Nothing on last night’s show was a wearable garment, except for the cute dress Jillian made from $10 worth of red fabric . But then the garments on Project Runway rarely are finished. They are sample garments, proof of concept, not ready-to-wear or couture.

And I’m glad they didn’t hype the Bluefly.com accessories wall. That’s getting old.

And the Michael Kors bit about Chris’ confection looking like Shirley Maclaine as a Parisian Whore? Here’s the reference.
