No offense taken at all. (you don’t have to post my comments by the way – I am just getting annoyed at all of the bashing so am venting a bit). We don’t know these people after all. Ganging up on someone is just mean when we don’t know the whole story. Reality TV is about editing.. Just my opinion.

Actually, I thought Korto was the only grownup on the show towards the end. Maybe it was her age and the fact that she is a mother. I though tKenely and Leanne were flip sides of the same coin – one overtly annoying, the other passive aggressive. I didn’t care for either’s attitude. And editing really does play a huge part in this. Think back to last years show, Drama needs to be a part of the show – it’s key in fact.

But both had wonderful work.

Monique Lhuillier did show the same silhouette without the asian petals/pleating detail – I am sure you will be able to find this in a more (petite) flattering form. I to love the pleating, the effect is so stunning – but I don’t think it would work on the average female body – sigh…

no offense, but if anyone embodied 13 year maturity on the show, it was kenley. her laughing, snide comments and overall lack of respect for authority figures was endlessly disappointing.

i thought her collection was beautiful, if a bit costumey, but i would never, ever work with her with an attitude like that.

I was going to post about how happy I was that everyone wasn’t ragging on Kenley – and then people did. It’s a show people – edited to create a narrative – and a villain(ess).

Leannes middle school sniping asides and shunning wasn’t all that swell either. I expect that behaviour from a 13 yr old, not an adult. Ganging up on someone – not cool.

I loved both dresses. And if people want to talk about the McQueen thing – they should also mention that Leanne’s looks a lot like the work of a few Japanese designers – it happens in fashion. Stop judging so harshly everyone.

Grace, if you love this gown, you should absolutely go for something similar. I am getting married next summer and I just bought my dress and it has a similar silhouette to Leanne’s. Also: I’m barely 5’2′. The dress is custom and it has not just two, but three tiers in the skirt, and it still looks great on little old me. If the proportions are done right, it can actually work on a petite frame. If you are looking for something with a tiered skirt, Monique Lhuillier has a very modern version. At least you could try that one on and get an idea. Good luck!
