Geoffrey truly reinvented tie-dye with his elegant gown! I loved that he knew he was on top from the minute Leslie saw it and claimed it as hers. I liked Nancy's tie-dye more than Sergio's and thought her pants were gorgeous in the flowy silk. I couldn't help but think his skirt border design was a little similar to the Prada dress Nina wore at the beginning of the show. Delvin and Victoria really earned their bottoms spots. I can only guess that at least Victoria's design fitting her model unlike Delvin's pulling across the chest with the clunky buttons, is what saved her. Her top was just weird and I don't see myself ever pairing shorts over jeans.

Loved Geoffrey's Tie-Dye look too. There were so many that I did not like this challenge. But I sadly agree Delvin's look lacked creativity. At least Victoria's was "interesting".
I liked Nancy's tie-die technique but she spend so much time on those look-alike pants again. She could have made a beautiful dress with her fabric. She needs to stay away from pants the next challenge.
Has anyone been watching the After Shows with Christian Siriano. Christian interviews the contestants that were voted off, I love these-- Christian is so much fun.

What did everyone think of last nights episode.
I didn't really like any of them too much to be honest. Loved the idea of the challenge though! I think I liked Geoffreys the most overall but none were too exciting to me.

I liked that they all loved the dresses that were made for them.
Victoria's seemed way too short.
I love the one that Nancy did for the lady in the wheelchair. You could tell she felt like a million bucks! And she did a great job at making it adaptable for her.

The recipients were all thrilled but I didn’t love the looks.
Bet they eliminate 2 next time.

I’m happy hat all the women seemed very happy with what was designed for them. But I think every Designer forgot that they’re designers! They were all so blah. Even Victoria’s was plain.
I did love what Nancy did for her client and how she added so much function to it. She deserved the win.

I was really underwhelmed with the dresses last night. I'm glad Nancy won and thought she had the biggest challenge by far and was clever in how she put together the pieces. Sergio had me rolling my eyes over his refusing to believe some women love to show off their baby bump. How lucky was Victoria to get an athlete who loves asymmetrical dresses with cut-outs and strappy straps? The only nice thing I can say about Brittany's dress was the drop sleeve/cold shoulder thingy did camouflage her athlete's tan line. I liked the back of Geoffrey's dress, but the slit needed to be further to the side and was not flattering. Marguise's biggest challenge was the size of his athlete and there was nothing interesting about what he made for her.

And Sergio is just an ass! LOL.

Yea, I was underwhelmed also. I actually liked Geoffrey and Brittney's dresses the most.

Victoria’s dress looked like every other dress she has described. I don’t know who thinks those stupid asymmetrical hems good. Her outfits always look cheap.
Sergio’s dress would have looked nice in a different fabric and color. That yellow was butt ugly.

I'm 100% not surprised that Victoria was pissed that they didn't eliminate someone.

You don’t really realize how tacky some of these clothes are until you put them on real people. I’m glad that all of the Olympians were happy with their outfits! For that reason I’m glad they didn’t eliminate anybody. I thought Nancy deserved to win she really took pleasure in designing something functional, but the rest of the dresses for me were forgettable
Another thing is if they’re designing a dress for an actual person they should probably give them two days!

Yes, the Olympians were happy and got what they requested. The designers were appeasing them and it was tough to get their own design style into the requests of the athletes. PLUS, a one-day challenge!!! I mean, come on, this deserved at least 2 days. I agree with the judges about Marquise having time to make himself a whole outfit when he could have been using that time to make his client's dress better. I am glad Nancy won because the wheelchair was an added challenge and she did a marvelous job. And I am also happy none of the designers were eliminated b/c they all had rough looking dresses. Looking forward to next week's episode!

I’m just glad they talked about how great the athletes all looked while they were still on the runway, then dismissed them before the actual judging. I hate when they have the “normal” people on the runway still and rip the dresses apart.

I agree that Nancy deserved to win. She was thoughtful of her client's ability to get in and out of the dress. I hated both Geoffrey's and Marquis' outfits. My 8yr old grand-daughter could have worn Marquis' dress. There was nothing grown up about it. Geoffrey's dress was ill fitting and not flattering at all. I always find that the outfits that Victoria wears are way more interesting than the ones she makes for the runway. That dress she was wearing last night was fun and had interesting detailing, unlike the one she designed for her client.
Avant-garde next week. Should be interesting.

Avant-garde next week. Should be interesting. I agree. Because none of them seem overly Avant-garde. We shall see!

I hate when they have the “normal” people on the runway still and rip the dresses apart. I was glad about that too, and the way Karlie framed it as being constructive criticism was nice too. I agree that Nancy totally deserved the win, I love all the thought she put into the dress including making sure the top was Velcro so the athlete could dress independently. I really like Nancy.

Maybe Victoria can't do a straight hem, so she does everything asymmetrical.
I didn't watch until over the weekend, but I think the right person won.

Soo!! what did everyone think?? I agreed with who left and who is in the top 4 fashion week.
And WTH with Geoffrey? He's being doing latex for years, and never did anything like that until last night? I am so glad nancy got to go!

I'm glad Nancy is in the finale. She seems so excited to be there and really seems to want it. Plus I'm glad to see an older (gasp) woman finding her dream after many years!

I agree with who is in the top 4. Although Sergio is still getting on my nerves the way he's so arrogant but after he explained why he's that way I understand more. But he's still annoying and i hope he doesn't win.

I was disappointed Victoria made it instead of Marquis. Otherwise, I agree with the final four. Sergio is really hard to like, he is talented, but I’m tired of his arrogance.
I would like to see Nancy or Geoffrey win the final four.

I agreed with the Final Four. I'm team Geoffrey all the way, but I'd be happy to see Nancy win as well. Sergio is talented, but his arrogance pisses me off.

Sergio's tailoring, and his sewing is just so good though! I have to disagree with what Nina said also. I don't think he is totally stealing from other designers or using too much of their stuff. Other's have too. Nothing in fashion is totally original these days.I honestly think Sergio is the most talented, so I wouldn't be disappointed if he won.

I'm not blown away by any of these designers but I am really glad that Nancy made it and Geofrey too. However, I didn't really 'get' Geoffreys avant guard look..but I liked Sergios quite a bit. It could have been cool if they kept Marquis so he could be a 5th designer who did a more gender neutral line.
That building was cool but I would MUCH rather see a runway show..They had to use binoculars to see the outfits which was strange and Brandon couldn't even particpate!!

I really liked Brittany but her dress this week was not good. I really wish Marquis had made it instead of Victoria. I just don't enjoy her. While Sergio has talent, his arrogance, or lack of self-esteem, really makes him unlikable for me. I did like his dress this week and I thought Nina was a little harsh but every time he says he's designing for a cause, or whatever, he sounds like he has no idea what he's talking about when he tries to explain it.
Geoffrey is my top choice, Nancy is second, Sergio third and Victoria, last. I can deal with Sergio winning before Victoria because he is good.
