Fauxhawks, Leathuh, Go Ask Alice

Let's tear though some dresses, bitches!

First up: Kelli.

Lorenzo HATED this look; Tom didn't.

The end. Next!

Oh, alright.

Let's just dispense with the idea that she really nailed her inspiration. She took a picture of something black and silver and made a black outfit with silver accessories. Not wowing us with the originality.

Lorenzo thinks it's a LOT of look and a lot of that look is somewhat lame. Tom thinks the garment is fine, but the styling came close to ruining it. That fauxhawk, the overdone makeup, the gladiator sandals - it all took away from the look rather than adding to it.

That top is kind of sharp-looking and we wonder how she made it, although we don't like the fabric she used underneath. And what are those little buckley, strappy things on her torso?

Definitely not a winning look, but with better styling it could be quite chic.

Cheroin is into leathuh and she don't care who knows it.

On the one hand, she is reality television GOLD and Bravo should definitely give her her own show. A sort of What Not to Wear for roadies and Hell's Angels, we're thinking.

On the other hand, as a design contestant, she's a real pain in the ass.

"I am rock-and-roll and I am gonna die rock-and-roll."

That's great, honey. This isn't American Idol. Now go make a dress without using a hammer.

Believe it or not, we think this is very well done. She's not going to step one millimeter outside her comfort zone and that's ultimately going to get her thrown out, but at least she's demonstrating that she's good at what she does.

The proportions are nice and the metallic faux croc leather was a nice touch that dressed the look up a bit.

Although there seems to be minor fit issues around the waist and crotch area and the straps on the top are uneven.

Still, good enough to keep her in the game another week. But at some point the judges are going to have to address the elephant in the room. No matter how good her work is, if this is the sum total of her aesthetic, then she needs to go.

Jennifer always looks like she's late for a tea party through the looking glass, doesn't she?

We've been staring at this picture for ten minutes, straining to turn a "down the rabbit hole" joke into a "the rabbit died" one because for some reason, Alice here thought she was making a maternity dress.

It's just the very definition of "dowdy," from the color, to the proportions, to the fit. Absolutely nothing about this look says "night on the town." More like "formal Lamaze class."

That neckline is awful and her boobs look droopy. The only thing that referred to the inspiration were the "clock face" cuffs, but you'd never know that was what they're supposed to represent.

And multiple hems are fine, so long as they work with each other, instead of looking like she has three dresses of varying lengths on.

And WHAT is UP with that shitastic bottom hem? Poor job, Alice.
