Versace and Marchesa stand out so well. I could have spotted them from a mile away. They look so great and unique, as always! Never a disappointment with such awesome designers. Beautiful dress designs all around this year. Even Heidi Klum looks incredible about to pop! One thing I noticed about the crimson hues, however, is that it's just too much. Never wear RED on the RED carpet - lesson learned. Although the maroon dress on Mila Kunis is not so bad.

Ahallet did a superb job on the knit dress. Oscar de la Renta's designs are no joke and the dress reflects the swimsuit perfectly! I love the wearability of the dress design, being done in knit fabric, and the cuts fit together beautifully. Even the colors are an exact match! This is a very talented designer "imposter" and I mean that term to be taken as the nicest of compliments.

I've been making my own undies too! So glad someone put a tutorial on here to show others how easy it is! I had this great pair of boyshorts from Victoria's Secret and I loved the design and the fit was perfect, but couldn't find other colors I liked... So I found a similar poly-spandex fabric on sale and bought some cute colors. It doesn't take a whole lot of fabric and you can get several pairs from one yard. I used a technique kind of like this to copy the pattern of my fave panties onto heavy paper so it would lay flat as I pinned it to the delicate fabric. The pattern I made was only one piece and has a scalloped edge to prevent fraying at the unfinished edge which looks super cute! Clear elastic is great for keeping the shape of the inside seams in panties - if you have a serger you can serge the elastic right into the seams. You can also find decorative elastic specifically made for the edge of panties. Just an extra tip: It's important to lay your pattern on the grain line or the panties will get warped, not to mention it's a pain to sew fabric when it's been cut off the grain.

What is up with Nicolas and Gordana's blue mermaid legging chaps? Looks like they skinned that opera singer from the 5th Element and pasted what was left of her legs on top of the outfit. Yuck!

Does it have to be made from a pattern? Can it be an original design altogether which was inspired by a designer?

Much better alternative to those more expensive bobbin clips. My husband always comes up with those innovative ideas that I would never have thought of because little did I know that the materials even existed! Way to go clever dude!

I don't have cable anymore and now SOOO regretting it! Project Runway was the only thing worth watching! Now that it's back I'm wishing I could see it! Thank you for posting the photos, THREADS!! Irina Shabayeva's dress is amazing! Three's company when it comes to gorgeous fabrics - combining lace, satin, and chiffon was an exquisite choice! Most of the designs were expectedly elegant but still original. I sense a very inspiring season ahead. It looks like they're recognizing true talent early on. But seriously, this Ari person can't even sketch to save their life it seems, so why bother?? If it's the future she's seeing, then fashion design is definitely NOT in hers...

I am thoroughly embarrassed to be a US citizen right now... WHAT IS THAT?? Every other coutry looks so elegant and beautiful - leave it to the USA to go mess it up by allowing that trashy ensemble. Whoever designed that nightmare needs to be deported fast! I would take Miss Peru's outfit over America's. Yuck!
