Out of everything that came down the runway this episode, this was our favorite, even if it wasn't without problems.
This is what people from Texas look like on Planet Gay.
Before we get into the dress - not literally, kittens - can we just say that we hated Julia's styling here? Jay honey, GLAM! You were trying to sell this to a major tv personality. Why is Julia made up like she's on the dessert committee of the Junior League? She looks bleh and we know she's capable of looking stunning.
Okay, with that out of the way ... two things Jay was doing a lot at this point (and which culminated in his Bryant Park collection) were the deconstructed layering of fabrics and the tone-on-tone, graduated colors thing. These just happen to be two things we really love and Jay does them well.
This may not be to everyone's tastes but we think it's gorgeous the way the colors all complement one another while bleeding into one another to make a whole that's a lot more than the sum of its parts. It's a unique effect and as we said, it was something Jay was really fixed on at the time.
We're not sew-ers (sewers?), but we would think that one would have to be quite talented to make a skirt layering so many delicate fabrics and still have it come out a well-tailored skirt. We know there are quite a few bitches-with-needles in our readership. Ladies, what say you?
As for the top, it would be easy to blame Kara Saun for this not working, but to be honest that was just an entertaining coincidence. While it's true that Nancy didn't like the color of the top, we're pretty sure she would have absolutely hated the original top, which was a much softer pink.
Jay just loves those buckle straps and he used them quite a bit all season, but they didn't work on this top. If it had been strapless, with a straight bustline and possibly not so long in the waist, it could have worked quite well. It's a shame really, because Nancy O'Dell would have looked fabulous in that.

"This is what people from Texas look like on Planet Gay"... the perfect comment, as always. I laughed so hard almost wet myself
I absolutely LOVED this skirt. The top is matronly looking.
I think Nancy O'Dell would have had to do a lot less tweaking to this dress to make it look awesome than Wendy's.
Wendy had no business going to Bryant Park. She should have been eliminated far before this challenge. She only created 2 decent outfits the whole season, and decent is the nicest thing I can say about them.
But that's what you get when you let a GUEST JUDGE who don't know anything about the designers' previous work make such an important decision in the competition. She should have had input, but the decision should not have been solely up to her who won.

Exactly. And they all went on and on about the skirt blah blah blah I don't get those judges.
Thanks for the info, Suzanne. I'm definitely voting for the boys.
Loved this dress!
I've been a costume designer for seven years now, and I promise you that delicate fabrics like that are extremely hard to sew anyway, much less sewing all the layers that he used. I was really impressed by that skirt.
By the way, I just discovered your blogs this fall, and I absolutely love them! They are one of the highlights of my day. You guys are great.
I agree with Laura. Those fabrics are so delicate and slippery, and just a pain to sew. I am in awe of Jay's skirt, especially thinking of the short amount of time he had for making it.
I'd agree about the skirt - as both a sewer and a normal person, I'd say the skirt is fabulous.
But that bodice- YIKES! It looked like the ace bandage contraption Judy Garland had to wear, to flatten her boobs enough to play Dorothy!

I came across this blog by accident. Don't ask me why I read it for over an hour.
Why in Earth would anyone watch reruns of a second rate reality show from a few years ago,and find the time to dedicate so much time to commenting on stuff that is ancient history ?
What are all of you participants childish wannbees in the fashion world or something ?
I heard that some bloggers are lazy malcontents that have aversions to real work and holding a vocation. This may be a great example.
This is unnatural and unhealthy. I see more destruction than contruction, and remember the old adages about this.
This blogs scores an 8 out of 10 on the Foolish meter. Good work "boys".
Dear Jim:
Perhaps we could help you remove that stick from up your ass if you could only get away from the computer?
Yes, it's about fashion. Which is something we all look at and wear every day even if we don't call it that. That you, with your replacement chinos and the wardrobe of blue blazers from Brooks Brothers purchased second-hand on ebay, don't get this is fine by us. But we enjoy it, which means we can view it critically, through a practiced and bemused eye, which is precisely what the boys here afford us.
The show has a dedicated cult following because it involves people of genuine talent doing something in their field under extraordinarily difficult circumstances. That's why we like it. If you don't, dandy. Hie yourself back to the National Review message boards, with your other closeted homophobe pals.
Smooch!
loved this dress, the skirt is sooooooo gorgeous - but so agree about the styling. Maybe he was trying to make her look like icky old Nancy Old Dell
CP
Jim:
Your nano sized dot of ignorance & hate will never block out the love & fun of this sunny (in size & disposition) blog. (Waving away a gnat) Shoo.
If the blog is so foolish, why read it for over an hour. I AM asking.
So Jim, you spent over an hour reading this blog that you claim to disdain? I'd say that scores a perfect 10 on the Foolish Meter. Go 'way and leave it to those of us who appreciate it.
As one of the "bitches with needles" I think this skirt was a triumph! Layering so many different fussy fabrics is not easy - getting the colors right is a feat in itself.
Yes, Jim, please do tell us why you read for over an hour? Why engage in such "unnatural" and "unhealthy" behavior?
CP
I swear if Jay would have "handled" Julia's breasts the way that Wendy hoisted Melissa's, Nancy would have seen this dress in a whole new light. All it needed was a push-up bra and no one would have called it "unflattering." Say what you will about Wendy - she knew how to flatter the... ahem... girls.
It is a gorgeous outfit. I love the color too. Well, I'm a huge fan of pink : - )
I'm a bitch with a needle and I'm not afraid to use it! (sleep with one eye open, jim colville!) Loved the layering on Jay's skirt, and FYI, deconstruction is more difficult than you would think, so Jay really worked this one, especially with the sheer and slippery fabrics he used. I think it was definitely better than Wendy's Big Bird skirt.
I think they should have you guys on as guest judges next season. Everyone email Bravo!
kath
Another of the "Bitches with Needles" weighing in here! Fabulous - difficult and fabulous! Chiffon is an unmitigated bitch to work with, as are tulle and beaded lace. Bravo Jay! (pun intended of course)
As far as the styling, I think he was trying to get Julia to look like Nancy Whats-her-face. Lord knows Nancy has no ability to extrapolate a look that she hasn't already worn to death, so he probably figured his odds improved if he sent a Nancy O-doll down the runway.
"I heard that some bloggers are lazy malcontents that have aversions to real work and holding a vocation. This may be a great example."
Clearly, Mr. Coville was looking in the mirror as he was typing.
Wendy, is "Jim" one of your personalities? Is he the one that drew on your daughter's picture?
"This is what people from Texas look like on Planet Gay" I've been away for a while and it is so nice to return to hilarious observations like this. How I've missed you.
And look what the cat dragged in! jim c writes " What [sic] are all of you...?" Indeed.
Oh dear, that crazy old coot who lives across the street wandered into our party again, ranting incoherently until he wet himself.
But I do appreciate his attentiveness to women participants by putting quotation marks around "boys"; it shows a real sensitivity to gender issues.
Back to the subject. Jay's skirt is fab until the fabric gets too shiny. Bra straps are ugly and uncomfortable. But Nancy O'Dell is never going to wear something like this no matter what color.
Please, people, don't entertain the troll. Let him go back under his bridge and taunt somebody else who may have less of a grasp of logic and may refrain from pointing out his own idiocy in noting that he spent over an hour reading something that "is unnatural and unhealthy".
"I heard that some bloggers are lazy malcontents that have aversions to real work and holding a vocation. This may be a great example."
Hmmm...considering the amount of effort Tom and Lorenzo put into this blog, I would think that those blog readers who only write vitriol on sites they do not agree with (yet read for an hour!)may be a more apt example of a lazy malcontent.
Topic? I loved this dress. Totally agree that Jay just ignored Nancy O'Hell's comment about hating fuscia as a color (imagine the dress in acid greens! Or purples! Or oranges!), and it looks like he tried to address that with his "Nancy this is hot pink" comment with his tie, but still, if the client says no pink, no pink, Jay! You could have been a winner!
"I heard that some bloggers are lazy malcontents that have aversions to real work and holding a vocation. This may be a great example."
Vincent? Is that you?
ps t&l:
dearies I know you have to make moderating decisions on the hate stuff but comments like jim c's are so moronic that they are fun for us to bat about for a while ... then disembowel and eventually vomit up: we think of it as a gift for you.
Jim,
Here is why I read this blog: I'm not in the fashion industry, but I enjoy clothes, design, and aesthetics the way some people enjoy wine or vintage cars. At the same time, I find the compulsive, neurotic attitude women's fashion magazines take toward fashion to be a real turn off. Like many women, I enjoy fashion as an art form and am always curious about the craft and skill that go into it. For me, this blog makes fashion fun again...the way Elsa Klench did on CNN when I was a kid. I don't see anything unnatural about that.
"wannabe said...
Dear Jim:
Perhaps we could help you remove that stick from up your ass if you could only get away from the computer?"
Bad advice there, Wannabe. 'Jim' should NOT remove that stick himself, or have anyone here attempt it. He should definately see a medical professional for safe removal - otherwise he'll be picking spinters out for months. Perhaps when he gets around to refilling his meds, his pharmacist will be able to refer him to someone.
Then again, there are always the guys at Home Depot. He could just twirl over to the customer service desk and ask if anyone there can help him return the dowel he bought, as it seems to be interfering with his social life. Or maybe it has become his social life.
And Jim, please give Fred Phelps a big wet kiss from all of us.

I think we're letting our opinions of the designers influence how we judge the designs. Jay may have undertaken a more intricate project, but the bottom line is his design looks less polished than Wendy's. In fact, I feel like the colors and the texture combination are a little adolescent...like a 14 year old trying on a bunch of different things in her closet, while Wendy's design (sans the Bigbird ass) actually looks youthful, sexy and California...and more appropriate for the Grammys. And I actually like the bust-line. Jay's a terrirfic designer, but let's give Wendy a little more credit when its due her.
My suggestion: Ignore the trolls!
I loved the look. I would buy the skirt in a second.
We are family
I got all my sisters with me
(Jim Colville, Alec Smart & anonymouses)
We are family
Get up ev'rybody and sing
Everyone can see we're together
As we walk on by
And we fly just like birds of a feather
I'm not telling no lie...
The outfit? DIVINE, simply DIVINE.
I spent over an hour at this blog to fully understand what all the fuss was about.I heard that PR was one of the better reality shows and I find Season 1 being torn apart, bit by bit by two seemingly very catty, cantankerous, men that have credentials from where ??
I can understand being a fan, for other reality shows where people compete but I think you will find the fan participants a little less caustic, and more adoring. You people are bent on tearing down and destroying one's efforts and your main two cheerleaders Tom and Jerry sit back and cackle at the commotion.
These clowns assasinate people and they most likely have never or will ever meet anyone they belittle. How small is that ?
How small of you all to start saying all this nonsense and suddenly get brave and post anonymous comments.
It takes all of a few hours to do a blog like this.The most part is watching the 38 minutes of the actual show.
Your egging this type of behaviour on is addig fuel to the fire that the blogosphere is rife with twerps that are not held accountable for anything they say or do.
Playing the gay blade card is pretty ignorant as well.
So before any of you start throwing the homophobe word around, ask yourself, are all homosexuals condoning this type of nonsense ?
"Jim" is right! Blog over! Everyone out of the pool!
Please, please, remove Jim from this blog. I enjoy every catty remark and every exuberant comment about the designers and the designs. I don't want to read self-righteous ignorant ranting. Please L&T?
From Jean
Hey,
I found out how to put my name on my post.
I keep a gay blade in my purse and pull as necessary:
Moving right along-
While the the top was not my favorite thing Jay's sent down the runway this season, would I be in the minority if I said I would wear it? Granted, I probably would have worn the original dress as well simply because it's to *my* taste, BUT Kara Saun gave Jay more than kind advice for this challenge. The texture somehow makes the whole look a bit more luxe- perhaps a bit too imitation of christ for Ms. O'Dell, but girlfriend has about as much taste as my Malibu Barbie circa 1987.
As for Julia, she was my absolute favorite model in Season One. Her styling in this instance is definitely an example of how hair and make-up can make or break and outfit. Jay either needed to make her look less like the bastard child of Molly Ringwald and a Stepford wife and more...um "otherly?" conceptual...or a little more like Nancy.
OH TRIXIE B!!! you are killing me, darling!!
Jim, Jim Jim . . . go fuck yourself, won't you? Both hands? Or won't they fit?
Another bitch with needle and yes, it would be a trial. The thing that would drive me wild would be all of those little threads and such from the ripping of the cloth. Ugh.
And finding just the right colors, too much. I salute Jay, what a man.
Junior league dessert committee ~ priceless.
could someone please explain what "holding a vocation" might mean? Too many hours spent here have apparently addled my pea brain
CP
Oh Jim, if you abhor the blogosphere so, why are you participating in it? You, my friend, should just sit on your couch and watch the television shows and bow down to the gods that created them and wonder if you'll ever be creative enough to have a thought or opinion of your own. Forget actually having your own stake in popular culture, or engaging with others about it, just sit and passively absorb. Meanwhile, we over here are finding other ways to entertain ourselves. But leave us alone, k?
Darlings, don't let "Jim" bother you. We don't.
Carry on!
I'm all for not feeding the troll, but I had to quote this because it makes it even funnier! (Call me sick, but I can only laugh at this guy's shit):
Jim Colville said...
"These clowns assasinate people and they most likely have never or will ever meet anyone they belittle. How small is that ?"
Oh, Jim, honey, you are so talented! You can speak out of your ass while with having a stick up there!
As for Jay... yeah, the top was not his best work...
I think Jay is one of the very few desiners who will truly be "the next reat american designer"..
I love him and his work oh so very much. He's fresh, talented and IMO, just brillant! That skirt looks like a watercolor painting..
I love your screencaps. They help me see little details I'd never noticed before. I had never really realized what Jay's skirt looked like until now. I still don't like the outfit, but I can appreciate how difficult it must have been to make it. I liked Kara Saun's outfit the most for this challenge, but I wish she would have followed Tim's advice to lose the pants.
When my mom, who used to sew all of her own clothes because she's cheap (and I love her), saw that skirt, she screamed, "that would be such a bitch to make!"
She and Jay would be a hoot to be around.
Much love to y'all! Y'all make my life a little more bright and sparkle-y!
the problem is he forgot he was designing for Nancy O'Dell. It needed to look more whorish and she would have chosen it in a flash! And she did say that she was most concerned with being photographed from the waist up, and unfortunately that was the weakest part!
Hey Jim! This is better for my liver than alcohol!
Jay's skirt, as mentioned by like 57482 people on here definitely is hard since the fabric is so slippery. But in the case of Austin's dress, it was also a delicate fabric, but it looked so thick and heavy, but with Jay, he was so smart enough to problem solve and make sure that all the fabrics didn't make Julia look bigger than she was. I love how all those layers put together made a terrific silhouette.
And I don't know ... I will admit I like the top. I don't think the top is hideous, but rather what makes it look bad is that the intricate work on that skirt makes the top lok like a joke. If the top was paired with something else, it would have looked much better in my opinion.
"So before any of you start throwing the homophobe word around, ask yourself, are all homosexuals condoning this type of nonsense ?"
Hmmm....does anyone have the minutes from the last meeting? Anyone? I'm curious as well; did the homosexuals vote to condone or not?
Oh well. Never mind. I just wish the queers would take over the general elections. That whole red state/blue state scheme does need a redesign. And drag queens as poll sitters would definately be more fun than the old ladies who are usually there.
BTW, Question: Is a 'gay blade' anything like a Ginsu Knife? I'm confused.
--Gotham Tomato
Jay should have remembered who his client was. She is almost always photographed from the waist up. Nice skirt, but it wasn't gonna sell the outfit.
I love this skirt, tho. jay is a genius!
btw, trolls suck.
OK girls, let's go a little easy on Nancy O for a minute. Yes she tends to be style-challenged, but she did wear a Nikolaki dress at the Miss Universe contestfor a brief moment. Even though I was not madly in love with the dress she wore, we need to show some love to Uncle Nick for at least TRYING to class her up a bit. It was a challenge that the Season 1 designers struggled to meet, but Nick managed to do it. Go Nick!
Jay is a genius - needing only to be tamed down. The man is a GENIUS!
". . . ....does anyone have the minutes from the last meeting? Anyone? I'm curious as well; did the homosexuals vote to condone or not?"
Oh! J'adore the GothamTomato!!
These clowns assasinate people and they most likely have never or will ever meet anyone they belittle.
You spent over an hour on this blog (even more, because now you are CHECKING BACK! NEENER, NEENER, CAUGHT YOU PEEKIN'!), and you never managed to determine that actually, of all of us fans, Tom and Lorenzo have met a good portion of those people they are blogging about? That they went to viewing parties and can actually call themselves friends (okay, Gay Mafia) of one of the contestants?
Not only is your logical flawed, so apparently is your reading comprehension.
And I am totally annoyed that I did not note that the troll would be continuing to read the responses to his fart. I had it in my first post and deleted it.
Personally, I think he got interested in the Project:Gay link and linked over to that area and lost track of time, so came back and flamed here.
T&L: I can't wait to see your response in "Ask the Gays" about the middle-aged, paunchy white guy who never thought he was a 'mo until he came across this blog which redirected him to Project:Gay and now he doesn't know what to do because he has all these emotions and desires that have been locked up for so long and please, please, please can you make them stop and tell him he's a good little breeder so he'll feel better, you assholes? And if not, can you at least repost the ab commentary from December with higher-res photos?
Corrine may have come closest to explaining the phenomena we find ourselves discussing. Pop culture is taking a real sad turn as I see it when this type of snarky, unclassy commentary follows a TV show.( a rerun no less)
The type of response where someone is being told to go *&#% themselves is typical of the Internet sloth permeating our society today and Pulitzer hopefuls like BigAssBelle just do wonders for the reputation. Ever wonder why you don't see profanity in your local newspapers. Something to do about decency ?
Gay Boys, you should clean up your blog and make legit fashion proud instead of being mouthy twerps that are putting a stain on new media outlets.
I have now put you my my report and will be checking back.
Explain this slowly to fromJean.
Oh, Jim, Jim, Jim. When you learn to spell and properly construct sentences, when you learn to research your topic before popping off unseemly comments, and when you elucidate why you find it necessary to continue commenting on a site you disdain, maybe, just maybe, someone will pay attention to you and you won't be forced to intrude on our fun. Go away, already, and play your own game, whatever that is. And that is the last comment I will make on YOU!
As for Jay's outfit, I liked it less than Kara's, and if he had spend more time making the top gorgeous it would definitely have shown better. I thought Julia's styling looked a LOT like Nancy O'Dell, whether that was intentional or not.
"I have now put you my my report and will be checking back.
Explain this slowly to fromJean. "
Would you mind repeating that in English?
Lighten up, its just fashion, Jim.
Jim, I'm not sure what you hoped to gain by posting here unless you thought to "incite the masses". Certainly you knew that the people coming here enjoy the show and blog or they wouldn't be visiting. No harm is being done. You certainly aren't being forced to visit (repeatedly, at that). In addition, you have completely ignored the fact that T&L do give credit where credit is due. They give their honest opinion--which means they aren't going to sit here and be "yes" men. If you don't like it, go away. But don't ruin it for the rest of us.
Gay Boys, you should clean up your blog and make legit fashion proud instead of being mouthy twerps that are putting a stain on new media outlets.
We're not going to do that, "Jim." We're not going to do anything that you demand of us. Did you really think that simply showing up and declaring that we're not up to you standards was going to force us to reassess, you sad, silly person? We are perfectly happy with the way things are here and apparently, so are a good deal of our readers. That means, it's all on you, poor dear. We realize this is a concept with which you struggle mightily, Jim," but the fact that you disapprove of something means not one damn thing to anyone else. Normal, intelligent people, when encountering something they dislike that they are not forced to view, will turn around and walk away from that thing instead of huffing and puffing and stamping their widdle feet, all the while insulting the people who DO like it.
And that's where you screwed up, dear. Rag on us all you like, we can take it. Take potshots at our readers? Yer outtaheah. We more than realize that with silly people like you, this probably won't sink in, but what the hell: Any comment you attempt to make - under any of your various "names," - will be instantly deleted, no matter the content. We simply can't make it any plainer than that. Go find something that makes you happy, if such a thing exists.
I have now put you my my report and will be checking back.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!
Hey, how about them Patriots, huh? I mean, what's not to love? Buff, cute guys in tight pants, running around a big ass field and tackling each other to the ground in a big old pig pile? It's got something for gay men, straight men, and straight women. And I don't say this in any snarky way, really - I'm asking - does it also have anything for our lovely lesbian friends too? The cheerleaders maybe?
Anyway, how about them Pats?
I much prefer to think of myself as a "bitch with scissors" and I have some nifty, though slightly dull, pinking shears I'd be happy to use....Jim.
Instead of telling everyone to get out of the pool, how about just blowing your whistles and hollering "ADULT SWIM!"?
Oh, and about the outfit: I suspect that if the top had made the model look more boobular, Nancy O might have liked it better: showing off the twins means alot to her....
SNF in VA
Darlings, Jim Colville's got more balls than the anony-mouses full of cowardly spite % vitriol.
Having said that, Jim, go to the personal section in the London Review of Books. I believe this is just the right person for you:
My psychotherapist suggested I place this ad. Woman, 43. Not mental, despite whatever a fear of open spaces, the colour red, the sound of rain, plastic containers, beards, percussionists, birdsong and cornflakes may suggest Box no. 01/03
Oh, PRGuys, just love the skirt, hated the top, thought Nancy O'Dell showed no taste.
I like this outfit but I agree with the other comments who said that he should've thought about his client. She even said that she didn't like hot pink, but he used it anyway.
It's a shame that Wendy and her outfit with the fugly feather skirt won.
By the way, Jim, get a life! I'm sure you can find more constructive things to do than trolling around here. Go watch grass grow or something.
I'm still waiting to hear all about Robbio's perky butt.
*taps foot*
=P
Late to the party but I had to whip up a dress for the occasion, Skirt was a bitch to sew, top needed alot more thought and time, styling was just -meh.
Jim -a cry in the wilderness for attention
I have to apologize. When I wrote my earlier e-mail I did not realize that Jim was mentally ill. Now that I have read his new post, I am aware. I would never intentionally make fun of a person who is so obviously in need of help from a good pyschiatric institute. Jim take you meds before you post again.
Love Jay! Love his skirt. I sew and I know how hard it was to make that skirt look so light.
"take you meds" was not a typo. I am from the south. : )
Sweeties, let's all stop poking it with sharp sticks, mkay?
Well, I know I could use a nice poke with a blunt one, but I guess I would have to move to another blog for that, wouldn't I? ;)
I absolutely loved the skirt on that. I think the top Jay created was alot better than Wendy's, too, but I guess it's just a matter of taste.
I think the styling he chose was supposed to be influenced by Nancy, as Julia had the sideswept bangs that Nancy did...which explains the ickiness. :]
I love love the skirt, love the layers, it's Jay at his best. Absolutely gorgeous!!
Blogs make the world a smaller place. They narrow the chasm between performer and audience. People like "Jim" can protest all they want, but the times, they are a'changin'. You can either go with the flow or get left behind.
Loved the skirt, btw.
fromJean-
Jim is irritating. Jim has a poor command of the written English language. However, I take umbrage at your envoking mental illness as some sort of pot shot. As someone struggling with severe mental illness, I don't want to say "shame on you"...but seriously...the stigmatization of the mentally ill is only exacerbated by mental illness being taken lightly or bandied about as an insult.
Absolutely agree with you guys that the top would be better if it were shorter in the torso and without the straps. Also agree with the others who have commented that it would be helped by pushing up the boobs to create some cleavage. With those "tweaks" it might have looked pretty cute. Of course it's still not a good idea to insist on using the color the client says she doesn't want.
And I agree with the boys that we should all stop poking sticks at someone who wants the attention and doesn't deserve it.
Thanks, Tom and Lorenzo, for making a delightful place for us to play.
I am Jay's best (imaginary) customer. I love almost all of his stuff, and I think this outfit was terrific--even the buckle straps which (I confess) I find kind of sexy and would wear, given the right occasion. (Mostly my life is more sedate.) The relationships between and among the colors are amazing and remind me incredibly of a particular raspberry-grape popsicle I used to eat on hot summer days in my Bronx childhood.
I sew, and I agree with the Gayboys ... sewing all of those layers of flimsy fabric and having it look well-tailored would be a real challenge.
Oh, and any bitches who whine about "catty" comments here can kiss my tuchus. What the hell did they expect from a site called "Project RunGAY"? They sew. We rip. Ya idiot.
This was clearly the best dress and I loved both the top and the skirt. The problem is Nancy wanted a more interesting top for interview shots where she would be seen from the waist up and this dress needed a very simple (even boring) top that wouldn't compete with the amazing skirt. However, I thought Wendy's top was just as boring.
Hated the "skirt" sloppily cut fraying edges and mixed fabric types if you like ombre just do it decently.
And hated the top also. cheap ugly fabric tube over another unmatched fabric. Despite your dislike of Nancy - she'd been on every worst dressed list with this garbage.
Sorry normally I can see where you are coming from but...WTH
