It was perfect for the challenge in the sense that he was really inspired by his photo to make a gorgeous gown shine through dirty gutter water. I thought it worked beautifully and really captured the essence of the challenge.<BR/><BR/>To me, the dress was really beautiful to look at as well. But it's true that everyone's opinions on fashion are different. I think that Chloe's COYB dress is a bit overrated. But that's just me...<BR/><BR/>It really all depends on your taste...AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02294590701907411434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1141233293244351192006-03-01T09:14:00.000-08:002006-03-01T09:14:00.000-08:00I am happy that this dress won BPR's Top 5.I am happy that this dress won BPR's Top 5.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1141231673124380782006-03-01T08:47:00.000-08:002006-03-01T08:47:00.000-08:00THis dress is so unbelievably unique and beautiful...THis dress is so unbelievably unique and beautiful!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1141230821384491912006-03-01T08:33:00.000-08:002006-03-01T08:33:00.000-08:00I just want to throw a quick note in about the vot...I just want to throw a quick note in about the voting. This dress was far and away the winner, it wasn't even close. Of the 176 responses received between the two boards, 108 of them had this one somewhere in their Top 5.<BR/><BR/>DV's second place Social Scene dress, for comparison, had 63 mentions. I'm going to do a separate post listing the 6th through 10th place finishers, any of which could have been on the Top 5 as the voting was very bunched up after the Top 3.Tbonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08582169951191781816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13478506.post-1141223943377285662006-03-01T06:39:00.000-08:002006-03-01T06:39:00.000-08:00TBone, your write ups were wonderful-they really r...TBone, your write ups were wonderful-they really recaptured for me that *feeling* surrounding each garment and the challenge! Wonderful! <BR/><BR/>I know I sound like a broken record, but I would love to have seen Daniel, Chloe and Andrae as the final 3. From his initial meltdown to the way he presented himself in the reunion, he totally put himself out there and seems like such a wonderful person which shows in his designs-there is an insight and a playfullness that exists. And you would never have thought that from the beginning would you?

It's great that the "BPR Top 5" were from five different designers. What a talented group! Also interesting is that our top two designs did not win the challenges. This is a gorgeous dress - I miss Andrae. Thanks for the great write-up, TBone, and thanks to Madpawn for sharing this idea with BPR.LauraKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592353267304087555noreply@blogger.com
