Previously on Project Runway...

For this challenge, you will be

working in two teams of six.

I look over on the other

side.

There's all of the

self-proclaimed superstars, and

i am on this team full of

underdogs.

Military--raise your hand.

Okay, yeah.

We don't have time to

deliberate.

Do it.

Gretchen has become the

leader.

You only get to do one more.

Michael, you have to make this

work.

Come on, man.

I think these clothes are the

kind of clothes that women are

gonna want to wear.

Congratulations.

You are the winning team.

We have to pick one winner,

and that winner is Casanova.

Congratulations.

It has no design.

The colors are ghastly.

We worked

really hard.

Gretchen, someone's going

down.

I'm sorry, A.J., you're out.

It's sad to see A.J. go,

because it was Gretchen's fault.

She should have been the one

going home.

This is Project Runway.

The winner of Project Runway

will receive $100,000 from

L'Oreal Paris to start their own

line, a fashion spread in

Marie Claire magazine,

a $50,000 technology suite from

HP and Intel to create their

vision and run their business,

and the opportunity to design

and sell an exclusive collection

on piperlime.com.

The model paired with the winner

of Project Runway will receive a

fashion spread in

Marie Claire magazine and

$25,000 from L'Oreal Paris

Studio Secrets Professional.

Oh, good morning!

Project Runway 8x06 You Can Totally Wear That Again Original Air Date on September 2, 2010

-- Sync by elderman -- -- for www.MY-SUBS.com --

Ah.

Yes? Is that a yes?

Mm-hmm.

The best thing to be the

winner is not to be the winner.

For me, it's to have immunity

for next challenge.

And maybe it makes me feel more

confident as a designer.

Okay, that was one mighty

ugly runway.

I mean, not for us.

Yeah, and Michael C, I mean,

I think that if it came down to

it and he wasn't safe, then he

would be the one going home.

He'd be gone. Absolutely.

And he deserves to, 'cause he

doesn't know how to Sew.

Michael C doesn't know how to

sew.

He doesn't know how to tailor.

He doesn't know how to make

a pattern.

I think regardless that

Michael C had immunity, we all

agree that he was the poorest in

our group.

Do you think he's gonna go

next?

I think there's potential for

him to go.

And I'd also like him to go,

but...

At this point, I really don't

know who is my friend.

I'm scared.

There's some people who don't

like me very much.

They all threw me under the bus.

I really feel like Michael

was our weakest link.

Michael had not the strongest

skills.

I did think that Michael had

the least amount of skill sets.

And the thing is, I don't

know if it's laziness or just

ignorance.

So bleep, bleep, bleep, bleep

bleep them all.

Do you want to come outside

and talk with us?

Not really.

I'm pretty bummed out about

what transpired during the group

challenge.

I don't know why you allowed

Gretchen to manipulate, control,

and bully you.

I don't understand it.

I'm not a manipulative

person, and it really, really

hurt my feelings to have Tim say

that to me.

It kind of clouds my vision

maybe a little bit.

I do think Gretchen has a

strong personality, and she does

have the propensity to maybe

fall into a role of leadership

without realizing it.

It was very clear to our team,

anyhow, who the delegator was.

Let's go get beat up.

Here we go up from the

bottom.

Hello.

Hi.

It's time for your next

challenge.

Casanova, you were the winner of

the last challenge,

so you have immunity, and you

cannot be eliminated this week.

For this challenge, you will

have new models...

And quite a task ahead of you.

Let's bring them out.

I'm My pants,

because these dresses are

hideous.

So what do you think of these

dresses?

Well, you probably have figured

out that these are all

bridesmaids in their

bridesmaid's dresses.

And just like every other

bridesmaid, they were all told,

"you can totally wear that

again."

For this challenge, you will

need to take these bridesmaid's

dresses and create a look that

these women would want to wear.

Good luck with that.

I don't know why every bride

wants their bridesmaids to look

so bad, but they do.

Hi, I'm Brooke.

Hi, I'm Christina.

Hi, I'm Laura.

Hi. My name is Nana.

Hi, I'm Kim, and I don't know

if you noticed, but I have a

huge vertical bow on my chest.

Oh, yeah!

Just when we think we've

gotten so used to our models,

it's like Project Runway decides

to be like...Mwah hah hah hah!

And they just give us, like,

crap fabric and, like, ugly

colors.

I'm lina, and I feel like

this bridesmaid's dress was

inspired by a giant

jolly rancher.

It's a little horrifying

seeing how much awful fabric and

color choices there are.

I don't want to get stuck with

a train wreck of fabric.

Casanova, you won the last

challenge, so you get to

choose your bridesmaid first.

I will pick Julia.

Thank you.

I didn't pick Julia because

of the dress.

I just picked Julia because

she's a stunning girl--tall,

skinny, stylish.

Let's see who gets to choose

next.

April.

I choose the silver, pleated

gown.

Peach.

I'm kind of a sucker for a

green dress, so I would like the

green dress.

I choose the white bateau

neck.

Thank you.

Brooke in the black-and-white

dress.

Thank you.

I'm gonna take on this

vertical bow.

Thank you.

I'm going to go with Nana.

I picked Nana, because she had,

like, dark skin, and the dress

is blue.

So it kind of complemented her

skin tone.

Mondo.

Amanda.

Amanda has this bridesmaid's

dress that is kind of a rosy

pink, which is a color I really

like to work with.

A little surprise in the

back.

Oh, gosh.

It's pretty bad now, and it

just got worse.

It's not--it's not cute.

Now I'm sweating.

I choose lateefah.

How come the two of you are

last?

I don't know.

What's going on?

Valerie.

I will choose lina in the

jolly rancher dress.

Thank you.

Michael, that means you will

be working with Jacleen.

I, of course, am the last

person picked.

It's a date.

Great. I can't wait.

So I get the worst dress.

Okay, now I would like for

you to all remember that this

will be a runway...

Not a wedding aisle.

So make these bridesmaid's

dresses runway-worthy.

Good luck.

I'll see you on the runway..

Cheers.

Oh, my goodness.

Look at that romantic lacing!

Totally.

They kept it, but they hate it.

Good morning, designers.

morning.

I have to tell you something.

These are terrifying-looking

garments.

Oh, my God.

What's wrong with the

bridesmaid's dress industry,

I ask you?

You are to take this

bridesmaid's dress and rework it

a new look--something that your

model can wear out...

Uh, not wear to a wedding.

We are going shopping at mood.

You'll have a budget of $50.

You can buy up to two yards of

additional fabric.

You have to use most of this

dress, all right?

So I'm going to be sending your

clients in.

You will have 30 minutes with

them, to consult, to sketch, to

come up with a new design.

All right.

Thank you.

There's not enough sketch in

the world to save this...

Ensemble.

Christopher.

Yes.

In spite of your handsomeness

and charms, your model has cold

feet.

She's bolted.

Oh, no!

So I'm here to introduce you

to ava.

This is your new model and

client--and a new dress.

Great.

Hi.

So, ava, meet Christopher.

I'll leave the two of you.

So...This is our dress?

This is our dress.

Let's see what we've got.

I've been presented with another

really ugly dress.

The fear factor's kind of

intense.

What should we do?

Yay! Lina!

Hey, you.

Hi!

I'm mondo.

You're kind of wearing what

I kind of want to make.

Excellent!

Terrible color on you.

I was thinking of something

that was fun and flirty.

And you hate this.

I really don't like that.

Amanda says that she is

always in weddings, that she

always goes to weddings.

So I'm thinking about doing a

two-tone cocktail dress.

Sometimes I can do, like,

some spray, and I can make,

like--

exactly.

We can do something out of

the pleating of the dress.

Yeah, but I don't know--can

you iron out these pleats or--

I don't go to a lot of fancy

events, so I don't know if I'd

wear something really...

You know, "cocktail dressy."

I want it to be kind of hip,

maybe a little lower,

fun and flirty, probably.

I think this challenge is

gonna be difficult, because my

model is very picky.

I don't know if I'd mind if

it was, you know, a short skirt.

She's not open to my

aesthetic, so that's kind of

annoying.

It's my ass on the chopping

block, so I need to make sure

that my aesthetic comes through.

Pretty sophisticated.

I'd like to keep it

sophisticated and edgy.

Brooke and I are gonna get along

fine.

It's fun when you do have a

client that you can relate to.

Maybe we'll do like something

really pretty in the back...

Open, and do, like, really small

loops.

We could do a lace-up back.

Your upper body, your

shoulders are so good, I want to

highlight that.

Okay.

I was thinking of some kind

of a blouse that cuts down in

the back to show off her

beautiful shoulders and a pencil

skirt--kind of give her a little

curve.

Give it some hip, and then when

you hit this...

And then give 'em a little bit

of this.

And then it doesn't hurt to give

'em a little...

I don't care what you do with

it.

No, seriously.

Thank you!

When you're designing for a

woman who's a little bit more,

um, "volumptuous," it has a

tendency to go really, really

wrong.

This is just gonna be about

tailoring and about smart

decisions.

Designers, let's head off to

mood.

Yay.

Yay. Follow me.

Bye.

What am I gonna do about

this?

Come, everybody.

Up, up, up.

This is my demise.

I'm a little nervous, because

I don't have a lot of fabric.

I'm so .

I want her to feel completely

sexy, and I want her to feel

completely confident.

Michael drummond.

I'm coming, sir.

It has been so much fun

knowing you guys.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

It's like a great big bra.

It looks like a clubbing outfit.

It's way too much.

It's making me want to go

home.

I have a surprise for you.

Some of you look very scared.

I am half excited and

half freaked out.

All right, designers, you

have your $50 budget.

And you have 30 minutes to shop,

okay?

And your time starts now.

Thank you.

So the challenge is to take

these bridesmaid's dresses and

rework them in a way that these

girls want to wear them again.

It works about as well as

anything could with that color

green.

We only have two yards of

fabric that we can purchase, so

I'm buying upholstery fabric,

which I normally wouldn't do.

But I get more yardage this way.

I can't decide if that looks too

cheap or not.

Well, it is cheap.

Now I can buy a snow cone.

All right, everyone, let's

head back to the workroom.

I don't even want my girl's

size to be a conversation topic.

It's about making that

god-awful dress into something

cool, regardless.

I think she has a wicked,

curvaceous body.

Mondo, help me with

my butt.

Girl, I am making a pattern

today.

What do you need?

I'm trying to find a way to

dart it without puckering it.

My bridesmaid said she was

just looking for something

that's shorter and a little more

fitted with the dress.

A few nips here, a few tucks

there, it's gonna be beautiful.

You are very talented.

I was really hoping this

would be the challenge that

Michael C gets out, because

I just don't feel like he's

worth his weight that he says he

is.

I want to be able to

respect him as a designer,

and so far, he hasn't shown me

anything that's...

Worth respecting, you know?

The judges are gonna love it.

They're gonna say it's

beautiful, and they're gonna

think that we're all crazy for

thinking that he, like, can't

sew.

How are you?

Oh, I'm homesick.

You can do this.

I think what I'm having the

hardest time with isn't what's

happening here.

It's reflecting on, like, who

matters to me.

I'm realizing that life's more

than fashion.

It's making me want to go home.

But, you know, Gretchen, this

is an opportunity that you have

to take your maximum advantage

of.

I know.

That's why I needed to call my

mommy.

Well, it's so lovely that you

would still need your mother.

My mom's one of my best

friends, and she...

Knows me probably better than

anyone in the world.

I love you.

I love you too.

Talking to her reminded me

that I need to stay focused on

my work.

When Tim made that comment to

Gretchen about being bossy and

manipulative...

I don't know why you allowed

Gretchen to manipulate, control,

and bully you.

It crushed me inside for her,

'cause I know that that is not

what she intended.

There's not a malicious bone in

her body.

Hi, everyone.

Hi.

Tim walked in, and Gretchen

looks a little worried, because

I think what Tim said broke

Gretchen down.

So, Gretchen, did you create

this andre effect?

Yeah, I'm really happy with

it.

What Tim said during the group

challenge bummed me out a lot,

but what I need Tim to do for me

is to critique the task at hand,

not be my emotional mentor,

because he doesn't know me.

He knows my work.

I wanted to make her a short...

I'm hoping that we can analyze

a really awful bridesmaid's

dress and how to make it into

something pretty.

It's a beautiful effect.

I will tell you this, though.

They're looking very athletic,

'cause if you--if you think

about this and the broad

shoulders and the racerback top.

I swear to God, when you guys

say something, it's like...

That's why I come in, because

you're so close to it, all of

you.

Mm-hmm.

Thank you, Gretchen.

Yeah, thank you, Tim.

Sometimes in life, moments

happen in order for you to be

reflective, and a scar can turn

into an open wound if you don't

let it heal.

Michael.

This is her dress.

She wanted this lace stuff on--

on top.

She asked for lace with a

puffed sleeve?

She really wanted lace right

up here with a little bit of

emphasis on the sleeve.

Try to talk her out of this

lace thing.

I really want to.

Things have to start going.

I mean, the velvet side panel--

it's way too much.

Michael C's construction is

absolutely horrible, and the

lace is a bit much.

So it kind of looks like an

overkill.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So, Michael...

Hi, Tim.

Are you making it work?

I didn't want to use the

existing form.

I'm with you.

But I didn't have any fabric,

and I was like, "there's no way

I'm tackling all of this size."

I'm trying to be very kind.

No, no, no, I understand.

But, you know...

It's also a real honor and

privilege to be able to design

something beautiful for someone

who's not a size 6.

I'm excited about it.

You don't even know.

Are you covering this?

No.

You're not?

You think I should.

It's like a great big

oversized bra.

I know.

Michael d--he don't make any

changes.

He just put lace on the dress,

and he cut the dress.

Thank you, Michael.

No, thank you.

Well, mondo, this is quite a

transformation.

It has a '60s mod vibe about it.

Yeah, do you like it?

I'm actually crazy about it.

I love how mondo turned the

pink satin inside out, and

hopefully, he doesn't overdo it

and go too crazy.

But he's definitely staying true

to who he is, and I think it--

it's beautiful.

You've turned this

monstrosity into a really cute

dress.

Yeah?

Yeah, beautiful.

Thank you so much.

How's peach?

I think I'm fine.

I'm not crazy about this print.

I am.

Everybody else--because it's

not me, and that's why I had to

just go with it.

I don't like peach's dress,

because I feel like it's very

ruffly...

Grandma paisley print dress.

She's tiny in here, and then

she gets a little hippy.

Don't we all?

So...

So I figured I would do me

kind of a little peplum on the

bottom of this thing.

Ugh. This is so gauzy...

Mm-hmm.

That if you have something

over this green, to help

transition it...

Right.

That could be nice.

Great. Thank you.

Thank you, peach.

Appreciate it, Tim.

Christopher, talk to me.

My challenge is making this

fabric not look like curtains.

Christopher--the material is

a nightmare to work with and not

current.

And I feel like the judges might

have issues with the taste of

it.

Then it's a matter of what

happens below the waist.

Right. And then maybe I could

just go as risky short as

possible.

You just have to watch the

proportion of this to this.

You're right.

Like, the top is good.

But the bottom, it's so hard.

She likes to show off her

upper torso, her back, and her

shoulders and her legs.

Well, that's pretty much

everything.

Everything. Yeah.

Make her a thong.

Call it a day.

There's something sporty

about it.

Sporty--exactly.

I like this blouson.

I mean, I like the idea of it

coming over the...

Exactly, exactly.

I'm really happy with what

you're doing.

Thank you.

And you have immunity.

Exactly!

Frankly, it looks like a

clubbing outfit to me.

Okay.

But look at me.

Tim's clubbing outfit.

Well, Valerie, there's no

missing this color.

I know.

I can spot it a mile away.

Do you think it looks kind of

sailor and kind of Stepford or

suburban wife?

I'm glad you're seeing what

I'm seeing, 'cause this is

looking about as far away from

fashion as one can get.

It's looking more like clothes.

Like, I'm going for, like,

cool, funky, modern, edgy,

and I'm getting, like...

Country club soccer mom.

If we just cut this here...

And give her some more cleavage.

It's better already.

Just get through it so there's

another challenge.

Right.

Just don't go home.

Okay.

Okay?

Thanks, Tim.

Thank you.

Designers, I have a nice little

surprise for you.

Oh, jeez.

Tomorrow is not a runway day.

We have set up a designer

showcase for you, and we have

invited hundreds of people.

What?

Oh, my gosh.

You will be presenting your

design on your model/client at

the designer showcase.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God.

The guests are going to vote

on their favorite outfit.

Oh, gosh.

Oh, my gosh!

That will certainly factor

into the judges' deliberation

about your work.

Some of you look very scared.

Yeah, so Scary.

I'm half excited and

half freaked out.

So it's just gonna be regular

people?

Regular people.

Just people off the street?

Yeah.

Well, to help you, I am

sending in your models.

Yay.

Oh, my God, that's so cute!

I'm really excited about it.

Cool. I'm glad.

So this is something you would

wear.

I would totally wear this.

To me, that's the ultimate

compliment, because I knew at

the end of the day if I designed

for her and made her happy and

if I designed for myself and

made myself happy that I'd have

a better chance on the runway

defending my work if it goes up

on the chopping block.

Hop to.

Thank you.

"Get to my dress."

Can you make this top part

detachable so that if I ever

wanted to wear it again,

I could, like, take the top off,

and it could be a cute little

dress?

She's telling me, "well, can

we remove the collar?"

But the collar was so "me," and

I told her, you know, this is

about me too.

It is detachable, if that's what

you wanted to do.

I can't believe this was the

same dress.

Right?

My client loves the dress.

However...

She wants the sleeves.

Let's get some of that black

lace and play around with it.

Okay, and see what we can do?

'Cause now that I see it, it

wouldn't look too bad if it was,

like, going like that.

I like that much better.

I'm a little frustrated,

because the skirt is fitting

kind of funny because I made a

cutting error.

All right, thank you for being

so beautiful.

Okay, take care.

So I'm in a little bit of a

peach panic right now.

, that threw me for a

loop.

I can't believe I cut that

wrong, and the minute I cut

it, I went, "I just cut the

center front in half."

You can't have a seam down the

front.

No.

Peach is in a really bad place,

and she's running out of fabric.

See, I definitely think you

should probably cut a pattern

piece.

Right.

I feel like I'm drowning,

because I just am not sure how

I'm going to pull enough pieces

of this really odd paneled

fabric together.

And I am completely convinced

that there will be no skirt.

Oh, that's the front.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

You're getting massive

amounts of boobage.

Michael C's trying to

sabotage me.

He's such a snake.

Things might be a little

rough.

How do you guys feel about

your designs?

I just feel like it's too

simple.

Yours isn't too simple.

Yeah, yours isn't.

Valerie, I think an

insecurity thing is happening

that I'm observing.

I think so, 'cause I think

the competition's getting more

real.

I feel like you're being

crazy.

Well, maybe I am.

Yeah. I agree.

Ivy and Gretchen are

always like, "don't second-guess

yourself, don't second-guess

yourself," but...When there's

so much at stake, you know, you

could go home.

I think peach might be caught

up with.

Yeah.

I don't even know who she is

anymore!

Yeah, I was confused by hers.

It was so--

I feel like she might not

know who she is anymore.

Where do you think you stand

for today?

I know I'm gonna be in the

bottom.

But I don't know that mine is

worse than a couple others.

You're probably excited, because

what you did is just great.

My model Hates it.

I can't believe

that.

What does she want?

She goes, "can you take off

all this other And just

leave in that black bottom

part?"

I go, "you can cut it all off

after the show's over, baby."

How you feeling, peachy?

Well, I made a cutting error

and didn't have enough fabric to

correct it.

It'll work out.

We're going to see real

people, and I don't know if

they're going to like this

dress, because I don't like this

dress.

But Erika's darling.

And I can, you know, sell ice

in Iceland.

Hi. Mwah.

So it looks cute.

You can put your arms down.

Yeah, it looks really cute.

Yeah, no, I'm really happy.

I'm glad.

I'm really glad.

I took a big risk going my way

and not my model's way, because

I knew that that would end up

looking like On her.

It really looks good on you, and

that's what makes me so excited.

It's way better than what it

was before.

Oh, so much better.

Oh, my God, it's so cute.

I want her to feel completely

sexy, and I want her to feel

completely confident.

But I'm worried that the judges

aren't going to like it, because

it's a combination of my style

and what jacleen wants.

Ten minutes.

That adds the feminine detail

to it.

We tried on that little lace

piece, and...

Who knew?

It looked really good.

Once it was on her, I loved it.

I like the neckline better too.

I really like these back

straps--I think it makes the

lines look really cool.

I'm sewing the straps on

lina while she has it on--

just kind of trying to bust it

out before time's up.

Everyone follow me, please.

Let's go, go, go.

Hope for the best.

That's it.

Designers, this showcase is

a wonderful opportunity for each

of you.

Let me tell you how it's going

to work.

You each have a small stage on

which your client in your

redesigned bridesmaid's dress

will stand.

On your stand is a fishbowl in

which people will place one

button.

It will be voting for their

favorite look.

This is an opportunity for you

to showcase yourselves as a

designer, so you need to

engage with our guests.

Don't be a shrinking Violet.

Really seduce them and wow them,

which I know you're capable of

doing.

Designers, off to your spaces.

This is lina.

Beautiful.

This was her dress before--

shocking pink.

I turned it inside out so the

shine wasn't so crazy.

Made the back really cool.

I like the little tie in the

middle.

Thanks. Yeah, me too.

I'm getting really good

responses from the public on

my dress, but I'm not getting

a ton of buttons.

If the public's voting weighs

heavily on the judges' opinion,

things might be a little rough.

This was the dress that she

had before.

She wore it about three years

ago.

That was the last time she wore

it until today.

I like the transformation.

That's really nice.

The response was amazing.

My confidence level about this

dress just went from here...

To here.

They loved it.

We actually transformed her

bridesmaid's dress into a tuxedo

pant, using the opposite side of

the fabric and creating a nice

contrast of the tuxedo.

A lot of the other designers

were really excited because they

got to interact with the public.

But I kind of look at it more as

a business transaction.

And she can wear those

separately.

Separate--exactly.

It was very important for me

to represent myself well and

represent my model as well as

I possibly could.

You could walk out right now and

stop traffic.

Thank you.

Thanks, ladies.

You're welcome.

She could wear this with

jeans and be, like, casual sexy.

She could wear this with a

blazer and be a little bit more,

like, office appropriate.

This is all hand-painted.

Wow!

Her client's boobage is

hanging out from the side.

You're getting massive amounts

of boobage.

She had a cocktail dress,

so I only had enough to do

shorts, and then I dyed them.

The top too?

I did.

Kind of avant-garde, but

still a sexy silhouette to wear

different places, so...

Really?

What do you think of it?

I love it.

Thank you so much.

Not because we're from the

same country, because I love

those pants.

Thank you so much.

I love it.

I think you would rock this

dress.

Absolutely!

For your material, you use...

I used curtain fabric,

but iridescent and beautiful.

I'm giving you my button.

In terms of models, you have

the most successful.

I think you're right.

I got one button.

One.

Hi. Come on over and say hi!

Erika's a teacher, and she came

with this crazy-looking green

dress.

Can I see the back?

Yes.

The back is great.

Thank you.

I'm feeling pretty good.

I had some really nice

reactions, especially to the

back.

I didn't have much fabric to

work with, so...

Thank you!

I love you!

Look around, and then you can

come and give me your button.

I'm from Denver, Colorado,

so in the design, I wanted to

play with the idea of

mountaintops.

There is a fishbowl right next

to me, and every time I hear a

button drop in there, it makes

a great sound and a little vote

of confidence on my side.

Thank you.

It was really fun to make.

I'm not counting how many votes

I get.

It's just nice to interact and

hear that so many girls

actually would buy that dress.

Girl, we got this.

We got this.

I know.

That's what people told me.

The rumor is that Michael C

is trying to sabotage me.

He's been telling people not to

vote for me because I'm the

bitch of the show.

Well, how many do you have?

My work speaks for us all,

honey.

I don't need people to tell me--

whatever.

He's such a snake.

For someone to even say

something like that was very

uncalled for and I think very

catty.

That's a stupid thing to say.

Why would you tell people,

like, which way to vote?

I think it's totally

inappropriate.

I'm so irritated right now.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

I cut the front as the back

and back as the front.

It's not straight.

My poor darling peach is

struggling.

We are heading down to the

runway right now.

Let's go, go, go.

This is fun.

I never get to do anything fun

anymore.

I just feel like he's

constantly trying to pick my

buttons.

Who?

Michael C.

I think he's trying to figure

out how to break you.

Oh, no, totally.

I heard through the

grapevine that...You were

telling people not to vote for

Ivy yesterday.

Never said that.

Really?

Would never, ever do that.

I can be bitchy, I can be

forward, but I would never, ever

do that, because I know how hard

we all work in that workroom.

I'm not going to confront

him, just because I think that's

what he wants me to do.

Oh, yeah, totally.

He's really not worth my

energy.

I need to focus on getting to

the end of this competition.

I'm gonna talk to her about

it today.

All right, guys, let's do it.

Here we come, parsons.

Here we come.

I had a fun time at the

button party yesterday.

Oh, me too.

Yesterday we all got to see

our designs on our models at the

showcase.

I'm noticing this morning a lot

of people are running around,

trying to change things that

we took an editing eye to.

I'm gonna open this up and

fix it.

I'm feeling really good about

myself in the competition.

It was nice to see the public

receive it, because I'm looking

at it with fresh eyes.

Good morning, designers.

Morning.

How is everybody?

Good.

Excellent. You have two hours

to prep your models, to send

them to the garnier hair salon

and the L'Oreal Paris makeup

room.

Use the piperlime accessory wall

very thoughtfully.

And you can deliver some good

news to your models/clients.

piperlime.com is giving them

each a gift of jewelry from

their website.

How nice!

Which is lovely, isn't it?

That's very nice.

Yeah. Thank you.

I have to take out a little

volume...

Yeah.

'Cause it's "volumptuous."

I cut the front as the back

and back as the front.

It's not straight.

My poor darling peach is

struggling.

The skirt at the bottom was

in between two different skirts,

so I think she had a hard time

with it.

I would just take it in, like,

the least bit, like, about

a 1/4 an inch?

I think my model's going to

have to wear biker shorts to go

underneath her top, because

I don't think the skirt's going

to be finished.

I'll be back in a couple

minutes.

Okay.

Ivy, can I talk to you about

something really quick?

What's up?

Um, it went around or

something saying that I said

something about your look or

I told people not to put buttons

in your jar.

I just want to let you know

I said nothing like that.

I choose not to believe

Michael C.

I only judge a person by their

character, and Michael C's

character and track record have

proven otherwise.

I have proof.

You can talk to my model about

it also.

I don't think that's

necessary.

We don't click, and that's

fine.

You can't be friends with

everyone.

But I would never, ever...

Ever in a million years put her

work down.

Hey.

Hello.

We want to do a dark, smoky

eye.

Not campy--cute and sweet

and enhancing and beautiful.

Okay.

I want just a simple look of

'50s sort of cat eye.

Beautiful wing...

And then black shadow and liner

brush?

Yes.

How does it feel getting

pampered?

I love it.

I want to go very sexy, very

Megan fox.

She has a lot of layering.

Mm-hmm.

So the hot rollers might give

it a roundness.

Really sexy, blown out.

She's already there.

I want it to be soft.

A little iron, maybe bring out a

little bit of the curl.

Cool?

I know you will.

You got to bring your hips into

it.

That's it, girl.

Yes.

Hired!

I'm feeling a little nervous.

I've not ever been in the

bottom, so I'm kind of thinking

that, you know, maybe it's my

turn.

It's so cute.

We have to pull your bra down.

This challenge was really hard.

I'm really proud of myself.

I think she looks cute.

She appears really confident.

But you never know what the

judges are gonna say.

Michael was definitely

presented with a challenge.

He's handled it with Grace.

And I think that the judges are

gonna notice that.

Designers and clients...

We are heading down to the

runway right now.

All right, everyone?

So follow me.

Let's go, go, go.

Does anybody have an extra

needle?

Peach, Michael.

Coming up on

Project Runway...

I don't understand this at

all.

It just looks weird and old.

She's got an avocado goiter!

Hello.

Hi.

Welcome to the runway.

As you know, in fashion, one day

you're in, and the next day

you're out.

There are 11 of you here, and

after tonight, there will be 10.

This challenge, we asked you to

take bridesmaid's dresses

and make them into fashionable

looks that could actually be

worn again.

You had an ugly bridesmaid's

dress, $50 for extra fabric,

and one day to put it together.

And we gave you the opportunity

to show off your looks to the

public, and they voted on your

designs.

The votes were counted, and,

mondo...

You got the most votes.

This will count to your scores

in the judging.

Let's meet the judges.

First we have CFDA lifetime

achievement award winner

Michael Kors...

Hey, guys.

Fashion director for

Marie Claire magazine,

Nina Garcia...

Hello.

And American fashion designer

who just launched a collection

of bridesmaid's dresses,

Cynthia Rowley.

Hi.

We will score your designs as

they come down the runway.

One of you will be named the

winner...

And one of you will be out.

Let's start the show.

I am looking at Amanda,

and I'm feeling very confident

about how she's selling the

garment.

You know she's from Jersey city,

and she's definitely giving me

that Jersey strut.

I am 150% happy with the

transformation.

I mean, the bridesmaid's dress

was a catastrophe.

This dress is definitely a

miracle.

When I saw Laura walking

down the runway, I was

proud of it.

The one thing that did bother me

about my look was Laura's pants,

because I think it could have

been fitted better.

But I did work with what I had.

I'm just hoping that the judges

like it.

But even if they don't, I know

Laura loves it.

Yay!

I think my model looks great.

All I can do now is hope for the

best and not worry about what

I've done or what it looks like,

because I really gave it my

best shot.

Oh, Gretchen, that's

fabulous.

Lateefah rocks the look.

She looked great.

Yeah, girl.

It was flattering to her

physique.

It was very me.

And that's all I can ask for.

I see my model come down the

runway, and I think, "oh, for

the love of God and all that's

Holy, what did I do to this

girl?"

You know, usually, I do glance

at the judges, but I really

didn't want to see the look on

Michael's face.

But I mean, Erika walked like

she loved it.

I hope she's having as much fun

as she looks like she's having.

Kim looks amazing.

But this is the first time that

I'm looking at the shorts

this far away, and...

I think they were sexier

yesterday.

They're kind of maybe 1/2 an

inch longer than I wanted.

She's going to take your

husband away from you tonight.

But the overall look is still

really good and really strong.

I'm looking at Nina Garcia's

face and her face only.

She looks at my dress, and she

puts the little card over her

head.

I was like, "oh, my God, it's

too short!

I'm dying inside.

That's it, I'm done, I'm going

home!"

I think the dress looks

amazing on the runway.

I love it.

I think it's a dress for a lot

of women.

It's really well made.

The silhouette and color

tone on her body is exactly what

I wanted to do.

My model looks

super confident.

And I did my best.

And if they send me home, they

send me home.

I'm not gonna cry.

Everything was impeccable.

I love my transformation,

because for me, make a dress

for another dress is expected.

But to make it for a bridesmaid,

a motorcycle pant is unexpected.

And it's my style.

She looks really good.

Good job.

I'm really happy.

Christina looks like a

high-fashion model, and she's

walking like she is one.

So she's very confident.

I can tell.

Oh, my God, she's so fierce.

She's really loving the dress.

If I call your name, please

step forward.

April...

Ivy...

Andy...

Gretchen...

Casanova.

If I've called your name...

Congratulations.

Your scores have qualified you

to move on to the next

challenge.

You can leave the runway.

Who's the top three, and

who's the bottom three?

I don't know.

Valerie's up there.

I'm nervous for her, though.

I feel like she might be on

the top.

What do you think about

Michael C?

I can see some construction

issues.

He's kind of all over the

place.

You can't do a zipper, a

swoop, lace, and satin.

Come on!

Michael C's probably in the

bottom.

The remaining designers have

the highest and the lowest

scores.

One of you will be named the

winner...

And one of you will be out.

One of you will be named the

winner...

And one of you will be out.

Michael drummond.

Hi.

Tell us about the dress that

you had to work with and what

you've made out of it.

Well, it was just sort of

this untailored nightmare.

I wanted to make just, like, a

cute cocktail dress.

And then I got some chiffon and

used that as like a tulle skirt

to just sort of dull down the

color.

And that's about it.

Well, I actually think you

went from bridesmaid to

bat mitzvah.

Okay.

And I think the original

color...

Was more fun.

Was actually great on you.

It looked better before.

A lot of people said that

they really liked it, thought

it was really cute.

Did you get a lot of votes?

No, I did not.

That fabric is unfortunate.

I mean, it looks like mosquito

netting from here.

Plus, you can see every single

detail...

That went wrong.

I wanted a real silk chiffon,

but I couldn't afford it.

It looks even cheaper from

out here, if that's possible.

I can kind of see that retro

mad men idea that you were

probably going for.

But this definitely doesn't

work.

How do you feel in your

outfit?

I actually think it's really

fun, and it feels way more

comfortable than the dress that

I had before.

Um...

I would not put her

in something--if she said she

didn't like it, I would do

whatever it takes to fix it.

Christopher.

Originally, this dress was

very, very full, and she wanted

something sexy.

So I decided to kind of take the

fabric and drape it in a way

that made it look a little bit

softer and tailored.

I like what you did with the

bias at the waist.

For me, though, it feels kind of

like we glued two dresses

together.

The top has this movement, and

the bottom doesn't.

I think it looks good.

It almost looks like a

bridesmaid dress that's sort of

been, like, ripped apart and

deconstructed, like you

repurposed it.

It's amazing and beautiful.

It's perfect...Perfect on ava.

Well, Christopher, I think

that the top half does look

good, but the bottom half is too

short.

I love it short, but, hey...

Also, the silhouette that you

gave her, I think that it does

look sexy but still very

elegant.

Ava, did he give you what you

wanted?

Definitely. I wanted

something sexy and form-fitting,

and he definitely gave me that.

Peach.

Erika came to me with a

shiny, shiny, shiny green

polyester faux satin, and I saw

this amazing angel tattoo on her

left shoulder.

Let's see it. Let's see it.

Let's see it.

Oh, it's so beautiful.

And decided to highlight it

a little bit and show off her

strong shoulders.

I think her hair is gorgeous.

Isn't it beautiful?

But that's about all that

I think looks gorgeous.

The top is a Holly hobbie

halter.

Oh, God.

There's nothing sexy about it

at all.

I don't think that the avocado

dinner napkins tucked in at her

hips are doing anything for you.

I mean, she's young and cool.

And you're trying to make her

look...I don't know, like she's

at--at the church "bring a pot"

dinner.

Those hip pieces are crazy!

I know, and that was because

I felt I was really chopping her

without it.

Well, at least now she

doesn't have a goiter!

I mean, she's got an avocado

goiter!

Could you turn around?

You're not wearing that with

that ruffle--no way.

I think it's fun.

Did you see a three-way

mirror?

Yes.

The racerback is nice.

But then you have a ruffle on

the bottom.

It's like some bed skirt ruffle

fest.

It's...Not good.

Do you feel sexy in this?

It's comfortable.

I feel fun.

So that means no.

Comfortable is like saying

something's washable.

Like, "oh, I love my dress.

It's washable."

The color is just so boring.

And then the whole design of

it...

It just looks weird and old.

Fashion should look

effortless, and this looks

oddly uptight.

I just got lost.

I got lost.

Mondo.

I thought Amanda should have

something that she could wear to

parties, but also she can dress

down with, like, a legging and a

flat.

And I just wanted to keep it

sleek and smart...

Classy and a little sassy.

I like the asymmetry.

I like, yes, it looks

streamlined.

It looks modern.

It's a very good transformation.

Yes, very good

transformation.

Thank you.

I like the dress.

I think you did a good job.

Mondo, I liked your dress

too.

How did you do this that it's

not so shiny anymore?

Did you turn it the other way

around?

Yeah, I used the reverse side

of the satin.

Because this was pink, shiny,

shiny, shiny!

There's nothing prissier than

a bridesmaid's dress,

and you made it sleek and cool.

I do think her hair looks like

the bridesmaid's dress from

before.

But I think the dress looks

really tough and cool, which

I like.

Well, I love the pink strip

at her shoulder.

It's feminine and tough at the

same time.

She's a hot girl.

I mean, so it's a hot dress on a

hot girl.

I think you were very smart in

the transformation here.

Thank you.

Valerie.

Well, this is lina.

A lot of us shied away from

the jolly rancher dress, because

it was really, like, neon pink.

I decided to do color blocking

just so that it could kind of

give the illusion of bringing

her in.

Wow.

Color blocking can do great

things for your body.

The way this is color blocked,

it's like you turned her into,

like, nursing-grandmother chest.

I mean, it's literally, like,

when you see a maternity bra.

It's terrible.

It's really unfortunate what

you're doing to a young,

good-looking woman.

In this case, I would have

made the top smaller and the

skirt longer.

And the straps, to me, looks a

little Frederick's of Hollywood.

There's something definitely

wrong with the construction of

of that top.

It's lopsided.

It makes her look like she has

massive chest.

Well...

Yes, you have big--

she's very well-endowed.

Big chest, but this makes it

look like they're coming out of

here.

She's got a beautiful figure,

but you made her look shorter

and broader than she is.

And if I were going to dinner

with my husband, I don't really

know what restaurant I would go

to with this kind of look.

I didn't hate it as much as

everyone else did.

Thanks, Heidi.

Michael Costello.

Hello.

Tell us about what you

designed.

Well, when I saw my client,

Brooke, she's like, "here's

this--chop it.

Make it short.

I want a sexy, short black

dress," and I was like, "okay."

I remember you from the

runway.

You had this awful bridesmaid's

dress on.

It was so old-fashioned.

You made something that is

really edgy and really hip.

And it's hard but still sexy and

feminine.

And because you made it so

super short...

She wanted it shorter.

I'm like you, Heidi.

It's great that you then gave

her the lace on top, so it's not

boobs are out, legs are out,

everything is out.

You took a very kind of

bland, old-fashioned

bridesmaid's dress, and you gave

her a cocktail dress that, in

fact, looks very expensive.

It's interesting in the way

that it's cut.

I like the draping on the lace.

And I think your styling is

spot-on.

The shoe is miserably

uncomfortable, but they look

great.

Doesn't matter.

This is the shortest dress

that we're looking at today.

But that proportion is right

on her body--

a very good thing.

Is that a pocket in the side

too?

Yeah, it's a fake pocket.

That's awesome.

It fits well.

I like that it's just at that

"almost too short" length,

where it's like...

Exciting.

You're taking chances, and yet

it's ultra-sophisticated.

Can you turn around?

I love the mix of the lace, the

satin, and the detail of that

velvet bow--

very, very beautifully done.

Thank you.

Okay.

We've heard what you had to say.

We're gonna have a little chat,

and then I'll call you back on

the runway.

Thank you very much.

You can leave the runway.

I'm curious to find out what

they said about you, peach.

Um, they hated everything

except her hair.

They hated the fabric.

Holly hobbie dinner-napkin

disaster.

It was my gift to everyone here,

because you guys are safe.

Mike d...

They thought that it looked

cheap and that I made her look

worse than her--her original

dress they said was beautiful on

her.

But they love Michael's.

So that's good for you.

They loved the lace.

They loved the back.

They loved the little bow.

They loved the paneling.

Cynthia Rowley, she loved it.

They had some awful fabrics

to work with.

For example, Michael had an

awful dress.

It was hideous, and he made a

super-modern, chic, sexy dress.

That was a phenomenal

transformation.

Yeah.

And you know what I love too?

Last week all the other

designers threw Michael under

the bus.

Oh, they all said that he

didn't know how to sew.

Yes, they were so mean.

Who made that dress?

I know, what--

this dress was...

Beautifully done.

Yeah, and very constructed.

And yet it looked so simple and

easy.

And it was all working.

That dress had this perfect

balance.

The sleeve and the higher

neckline balanced the shorter

hemline.

You had some drapery with

the architectural element.

He got it.

Okay, let's talk about

Christopher.

I did like the bustier and

the one shoulder.

I thought that she looked really

nice.

I think the idea was good.

The attempt was good.

He handled the top so

beautifully.

That's not easy, I have to say.

To make that faux organza

drape like that--that was

effortless.

It looked great.

All righty, let's talk about

mondo.

The transformation between

that pink pepto-bismol to

this kind of modern--that was

great.

And he made a modern, hot

dress.

But the hair and the makeup

was jersey shore.

Snooki and the flintstones.

But it wasn't vulgar.

There was nothing vulgar about

that dress.

He sent out something that was

impeccable, and he did it well.

And it's hard to tailor 100%

polyester, to make it smooth

like that and fit like that.

Perfect seams, perfect hem.

All good.

Let's talk about the

designers that we didn't like.

Valerie.

All I can tell you is the

dress looks like a really

bad tennis dress gone wrong.

Put a pair of sneakers and

give her a tennis racket, and

she's set.

The proportion's crazy.

And then let me make my chest

look lower and bigger.

It just looks like she didn't

step back and look at it.

When you step away, it looks

like some kind of weird cartoon

character or something.

Michael drummond, his model,

jacleen, she looked so much

better before.

What did he do to her is

unbelievable.

That mosquito netting was

an awful choice, because it made

it look cheap.

They're starting off with

really, you know, terrible

fabrics.

So if you have the opportunity

to add something, you want to

add the best.

He added kind of the exact, same

thing, if not worse than the

fabric that he was already

starting off with, so...

If that's what he's choosing...

Also when he said, "I didn't

really have the money to buy the

chiffon that I wanted."

So rather than trying to buy the

ugly lace plus the mosquito

netting, why not just invest

in one good thing?

Exactly.

I look at what peach did.

Everything except for the hair

was a disaster.

It looks home-sewn.

Totally over, over,

overdesigned.

There's so many things going

on.

She's kind of a secretary

from 1987 on the bottom.

Then she had the straps from

the bra that she did.

Then it had the ruffles down the

bottom and another set of

ruffles down the bottom.

Probably ruffles here too.

That top was hideous.

The one thing about her

work...

She has the sewing and the

tailoring skills.

It's the taste level that I'm

worried about.

So we've made our decision?

All right, let's bring them back

out.

They said so many good

things, I kind of forgot what

they said.

I'm just really happy that they

loved it.

Michael Costello's in the

top.

I'm just really shocked right

now.

Yep, it's time y'all.

Holy Balls.

What show are we On?

Michael C...

It--I can't--I feel like

i'm--I don't even know why I'm

here, man.

I had to bite my tongue.

Now I'm just, like,

super confused.

Now they're just, like, spinning

me in five circles.

It just makes me crazy!

The six of you have the

highest and the lowest scores.

One of you will be named the

winner, and one of you will be

out.

One of you will be named the

winner...

And one of you will be out.

Michael Costello...

We loved your look.

You created a sexy,

sophisticated,

expensive-looking outfit

that could turn heads.

It was well made and flattered

your model.

Mondo, you were popular with the

public and with us too.

You started with an ugly and

tasteless bridesmaid's dress

and ended up with a polished

and flattering garment.

Michael Costello...

Congratulations.

You are the winner of this

challenge.

Oh, yes!

Awesome!

That also means that you have

immunity for the next challenge.

You can leave the runway.

You're gonna make me cry.

Thank you.

Thank you so much.

I won this challenge.

I can literally go home right

now and celebrate.

I don't want to win no more.

This is fine.

I wo

two challenges--

thank you, Jesus.

I don't think Michael C

deserved to win.

I won.

They loved it.

They really loved it.

And it's frustrating, because

craftsmanship isn't as

acknowledged as I had hoped it

to be so far in the judging.

It makes you just walk away from

a challenge feeling that much

more insecure.

So we have two twice winner--

mr Jones and Mr. costello.

I'm not sure with

Michael Costello.

I respect him as a designer,

and I think he's very humble.

I'm shocked.

Mondo, you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thanks.

Hi!

Safe?

I'm safe.

Yay.

How did you do those corners?

I don't know.

Mondo magic.

Christopher.

Yes.

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Thank you.

Hey!

Big smile.

Yay!

Whoo. Thanks.

All I have to say is being in

the top three and being in the

bottom three is still just as

nerve-racking.

Like, there's no difference,

really.

You're like, "aah!"

Valerie...

You're in.

You can leave the runway.

Peach, Michael...

One of you will be out.

Both of you made your

bridesmaid's dresses look worse,

which we didn't think was

possible.

Peach, your proportions were

completely off.

Plus, those green ruffles added

insult to injury.

Michael...

Your look was not in the least

bit flattering of your model.

You made an ugly dress uglier.

Michael...

♪ ♪

you're in.

You can leave the runway.

Yeah, go ahead.

Go make something pretty.

I'm sorry, peach.

That means you're out.

Auf wiedersehen.

Thank you.

Thank you.

I've had the time of my life.

Thank you so much.

I've had a blast.

I've learned all kinds of

things.

I've met some really

unbelievable people.

Aw!

Hi!

I've had the time of my life.

This is absolutely the way it

should be.

Where else is a 50-year-old

gonna get another chance?

What the , peach?

Now I'm by my Self.

Even though our age difference

is huge, she's definitely an

anchor for me here.

I have loved every second of

it.

I mean, what a trip.

It's just been a trip.

Well, peach, you've made it a

blast.

You made it a blast for us.

I really do love peach.

But somebody has to go home,

and it's peach.

It's really sad.

Who's gonna be

the fairy dragmother?

Nobody!

I'm still the fairy dragmother.

There he is.

Peach!

Tim!

What are we gonna do without

you?

I don't know.

I've had a ball.

We've had a ball with you.

And now I know how to say, "you

have more legs than a bucket of

chicken."

Really, you're a gem, and we're

gonna miss you a lot.

Thank you.

I'm gonna miss my peeps here

and miss you guys.

But I cannot be more grateful

than I am for this opportunity.

I was, like, 22 for 6 episodes.

Aw!

Well...

I have to send you to the

workroom to clean up your space.

I'm happy to go to the

workroom.

And you'll do it joyously!

I absolutely will.

I know you will.

Maybe with a little panache.

Ha ha ha! We love you.

I think I surprised a lot of

people that I wasn't the one who

was tired.

I wasn't the one who

was complaining about getting up

early or working long hours.

I was right in there running up

and down the stairs all the time

with the kids.

Be beautiful. Thanks.

My husband and my daughter,

they're gonna be proud of me,

absolutely.

No doubt about it.
