The designer’s creativity was put to the test in episode three, as they each made garments using materials purchased from a party store. Tim explicitly stated not to purchase tablecloths or other items that resembled fabric yardage. What did Casanova do? He purchased tablecloths, saying that he can’t “make a dress with bull****.” My favorite line from this episode has to go to Michael Kors in response to Casanova’s dress on the model: “She looks like a transvestite flamenco dancer at a funeral.” Valerie’s “however comma” remark comes in close second!

Gretchen is fast becoming the most hated with her overall “I’m better than everyone else” attitude. She did of course land at the top again this week along with Andy and Valerie. But this time Andy won with his twisted ribbon dress, with Gretchen coming in second for her three-piece ensemble and Valerie in third for her elegant dress made from napkins. I have to say that I preferred Valerie’s garment over Gretchen’s, but to each is own.

Casanova, Sarah and AJ landed at the bottom. Sarah ultimately went home for her humdrum palm tree dress. My guess is that Casanova’s just too entertaining to let go of yet! After judging, Ivy fainted and was rolled out on a stretcher by the paramedics. We’ll have to wait until next week to find out if she makes it to sew another day.
