Ok Heidi,
that was very misleading when she said that the challenge will involve the most important night in a girl's life. I'm thinking wedding night-gasp! I hope it's not a wedding gown-who said that? But actually something more innocent, a rite of passage, THE PROM! Christian looked like a shocked poodle. Yes, Christian, prom dresses! I was thinking he didn't go to his prom, (because maybe he was too shy??), but it turns out that he did and they showed a very geeky picture to prove it. Very funny!
Teenaged girls from a local girl's school were to be the models/clients and got to chose their designer. You know there is always one in every group, the Teen from Hell and this teen chose our poor poodle dog, Christian. He was intimated right from the get go because she wanted gold chains, lace, leather and whatever. Her tackiness terrified him, hey the girl just wanted some bling. Christian, she might out weigh you, but you are the designer after all-take charge!
I loved it when Victorya's teen, Jessica, truthfully told her that she didn't have a choice, 
because she was the last one left, but hastily added that she liked her work, and when Ricky (and how many black and white caps does he have?) said that when in high school, he made his girlfriend's prom dress, that should have been a clue-ya think? Each designer was given $250.00 for materials, which I thought was very generous. I think the hardest part of this challenge was trying to incorporate what the teen wanted, plunging necklines and short hems and make it sensible, wearable and fabulous! But unfortunately, most of the designs were just ugly prom dresses. Color choice was a major problem for these designers. When I think prom, I'm thinking either old school, pinks, lavender, cream or new school, black, velvets or shimmering satins. Not a velvet in the bunch, where's Elisa when you need her? But ugly colors reigned, pea green and tomato red. By far the one dress that made their teen age by decades was Rami's, whose arrogance for his own design really turned me off. His attitude was, that is the way I design and I will not 
compromise-hey the girl is only 16 make her look 16 and not 56! Being a great 
designer means that you can design for any type of woman and if he didn't have immunity he should have gotten the auf with his pukie green dress. Maybe pukie green is the new black? The best color choice was Jillian's dress for Erika, a beautiful seafoam green and Sweet Pea's satiny cream dress, which was the ultimate prom dress, simple yet elegant.
Ah, teen girls and prom night, it brings back memories. Unfortunately for some of the girls, they will still have to go dress shopping! The girls got to chose their designer by looking through their portfolios. When Krista chose Chris, he told her that he would be scared after looking at his portfolio. It is all pictures of Chris wearing outrageous dresses with the bust lines all enormously enhanced. It was hysterical! I thought Krista's mother was going to faint when she saw it! Chris, for the second time in a row, made a very nice and conservative creation.
Meanwhile, poor Christian was stuck with a miss know-it-all who started sketching her own dress. I figured if she sketches it she should like it. But, of course things can't be that easy and she didn't like the dress. It was butt ugly! And speaking of butt's, it made hers look three times bigger which she definitely did not need. If our poodle dog had been a bull dog and tamed that shrew, he could have made a much better dress.
Rami decided to go to with his big bad self and came up with a flapper dress meets ancient Roman toga which aged his client 30 years! What was Ricky thinking with that color choice? You can't hardly see it! Thank goodness for the sequin trim at the waist or his client would look totally naked. I really liked Sweet P's dress although it could have used a bit more fabric at the top. Some of the mothers were nervous about their daughters wearing some of the dresses. If they only knew what their little girls really wanted, plunging neck and back, those mothers would be going to prom night with them!
Victorya also decided to design for herself and came out the winner. It was pretty nice, good choice of color and a modernized neckline. I don't like her and her ego but she did good this time and her client was very happy with the dress. Although, I don't think I would wear red shoes with it. We say auf wiedershen to Kevin and his cheap looking red dress. Too bad because I think he had some very good designs he just messed up too much this time around. Double D

In the end it was Kevin's baby doll red dress that did not make the judges cut-it was terribly unflattering to her figure, what was he thinking? She looked like a tomato. Seriously, I struggled with the choice between Kevin's and Christian's both were just awful and deserved the auf
