Who knew that adding a large bump to the front of your mannequins could create such a drastic difference? Our designers didn't. This week's challenge, creating a 'form-fitting' outfit for any occasion for a very pregnant Rebecca Romijn left some designers clueless, while other flourished. Some just sent a chicken down the runway. Conceptually, of course.
Oh My Challenging Rami's Famous Draping + Coat, by Shirin: This deserved the win. The color is rich, and the lattice draping is fantastic. We haven't seen fantastic draping like that since Rami in season four. I adore the lining in the coat. I love the line of the back, as well.
Oh Hey There Boobs, by Althea: Heidi and the girls were right on the mark when they said the problem with this dress was the bust. Had this dress been more covered in the chest region, she probably would have won. The back detail is gorgeous, and the length and color is flattering and very pretty. She took a risk making the dress long. Most of the designers made a cocktail dress-length garment for fear their model looking as if she's wearing a tent, but the length worked here.
Oh Please This is Cearly Lingerie, by Louise: The lace, I think, makes this too lingerie-y. The line on the top is almost too high. I do, however, like the teirs and the flower detail on the right shoulder. This was a good third placer.
Oh Let's Go Bowling, by Ra'mon: I think he took a risk. It looks good from the front, as the judged said, but from the side it looks like a bowling ball bag, a phrase Rebecca Romijn loved to repeat. He's lucky there were worst entries, becase the pattern was bad here. On a regular woman, it would be fine, probably, but it faied as a maternity dress.
Oh I See a Lion, by Mitchell: If the shorts had come out even close to what he wanted them to be, this would have been a good outfit. But they came out looking like plus-size (or plus-SEXY, as Qrystal would say) lingerie shorts. I really like the safari aethestic, and think this is wearable, but the shorts are way to dangerously in fug territory for this to make it. Watch out Mitchell- this is your second week in the shark tank, and I'm not sure you can survive much longer. The model looks adorable, to her credit. She worked this.
Oh Cock-a-Doodle-Doo, by Marvin: Do I have to say anything about this? She looks like the baby has already been born and it's lying in the sling of a shirt she has there. Bye, bye, Marvin. A delightfully right-on auf. Also, she doesn't look like a chicken. So, technically, you kind of failed on concept, too.
