We've got a lot of catching up to do, Poodles!
Hot. Hot to death. Daniel's been pretty underwhelming up till now, but this was his breakout dress. Love the bustline and the straps.
And we love the way he used the print, layering it to get exactly the effect he wanted. Never let the fabric do all the work, poodles. Work it.
Hmmm. That hem doesn't look so hot.
It's probably a little tighter than it needs to be because it's giving Rebecca a little tummy bump and we seriously doubt she has one. In a way, none of that really matters because Daniel certainly passed the "wing it" test with flying colors this week. He basically pulled this dress out of his ass at the last minute. We've seen other designers in the same predicament but they never produced a dress as hot as this one.
Okay, yes. It is a little Stevie Nicks. But in a good way.
We love the bodice and the alternating strips of fabric she used for it. Not super-crazy about the Batman neck line or the extraneous...stuff she's got going on up there. The belt's cute and the buckle sets it off just enough without being distracting.
If she could have just edited the skirt a little bit, this would have been a much hotter dress. Diana's got an eye for the flowy, kinetic fabrics but there's just way too much of it here. Yes, it flowed beautifully but she looked like she was shoplifting a basketball.
Hmmm. We like it but we don't love it.
It's pretty, but it's also pretty standard. It's a beautiful color and we like the beads at the shoulders, but this could have seriously used something to bump it up a notch. And a fishtail hem just isn't enough in this case. There's also something a little off with the fit. Things look a little puckery and it's not hugging her curves the way it should.
Granted, it's definitely a "walking away" dress and the back is more interesting than the front. It would have looked great on Nicky Hilton and that's saying something 'cuz girl's a skank.
Edited to add: The dress Nick had made for Nicky Hilton on this challenge was worn by Brenda Strong of
Desperate Housewives for the SAG Awards.
Here's Nick's post about it.
