Project Runway Goes to Prom

By -

This week the contestants on Project Runway created prom dresses for high school girls. To make it even harder, the girls got a say in the design. Most of the designers started our trying to please their clients by matching their exact vision then quickly switched to making something they would normally make.

For the most part, the girls loved their dresses, but Christian's model wasn't cooperative. He got run over in the consultation and created a dress that kind of fit her description but didn't look good at all. He did have the most difficult model and just didn't know how to handle it. It almost ended his journey on the show.

However, Kevin's dress looked matronly and unfinished so Christian got to stay, but Kevin went home.

Victorya won the challenge with the most age-appropriate outfit. The fun color, shape, and jewels really sparkled on the runway. She didn't start out with that look or shape, but she kept her client in mind when she changed it for the better. The girl loved the dress and definitely had fun modeling it.


Prom is a pretty big deal for a lot of high school girls. Would you have trusted your prom dress to someone reality show designer? Or would you have searched for the perfect dress yourself? If you would have trusted it to someone, which designer would you have picked? Also, do you have a prom fashion disaster? We'd love to see it.

I read in that book about couture that modern design started when Worth started treating making clothes as an art rather than as a the-customer-knows-best sort of business. An interesting idea for sure.

Yea for having to make dresses for more common body types!

You said journey. They're getting to you!

I was actually in love with the other bright blue dress... with the rainbow design on the bust? I just blanked on which designer was responsible, but I adored it. I was sad to see Kevin go, though I agreed his dress was yuck.

For sure, I would have let a reality tv person make my prom dress for free, gotten a chance to be on tv. If you hate it at the end, well, then you're right back where you started and will have to buy one like everyone else.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
