Remember when we posted about the ELLE/Christian Siriano contest? Well, guess who won! One of our very own readers, and she is FABULOUS!
"TLo,
I just wanted to thank you guys for your fabulous blog and insider Project Runway information. I still haven't gotten over season 4 of PR and I rely on you to feed my cravings for news on the contestants. Last month when you posted the link to the Elle contest for a Christian Siriano dress, I knew I had to enter. I would kill for one of his dresses. Enter I did, and guess what--I won!
Thanks so much for the Christian updates--keep them coming!
Maria Bostrom"
"I was determined to create my own version of the belted organza dress, only on a meager budget and with my poor sewing skills," she said in her entry. "I collected, cut, layered, and sewed hundreds of Kroger bags to create my Siriano knockoff dress." Read more here.

Congratulations Maria! You look fabulous in your Christian Siriano original. I wonder if that dress is going to be part of his line for Bluefly.
The plastic bag dress is super creative and damn near as nice as the one he made for the finale.
