I would assume that the designer is going to do their best to make me look good.
Plus, I'm sorry, Angela's mom was very much a person who is extremely uncomfortable with her body (as evidenced by her baggy and boring clothing). (I also saw it in her attitude and body language). They totally had a difference in opinion on what the design should be, they were both being difficult.
It would be different if it weren't a competition. I mean if this was just Angela's mom coming to Jeffrey to get a dress made, I'm sure they could have worked something out. But because it's a competition and because they only had one day to get the dress done, he really had to do something that would impress the judges. As much as he wanted to work with the Angela's mom, he had to think about himself.

Although I do definitely agree Angela's mom was being totally difficult saying that its not the color she wanted and such, I do think that Jeff still took it a little overboard. He should have just ignored her, let her keep whining and still made the dress, but instead he decided to demean (sp?) her and yell at her. He was just very disrespectful to her, and his mom really didn't do anything to help. She should have told him to stop or check his attitude, but she didn't. I know he had a rough life and i know this is something positive for him, but don't encourage his behavior and tell Angela's mom that its something he's passionate about.
I don't know...I don't really like people that have a lack of respect for people. IMO he was being harder on her because it was Angela's mom. If it had been anyone else's mom he probably wouldn't have been as difficult as he was, but just the simple fact that it was ANGELA'S mom, he decided to take his hatred of Angela out on his mom.
And poor Angela...i'm sorry, i might not like her, but i'd hate to see a fellow competitor yell at my mom and me not really be able to do anything about it. I would have hated to be in Angela's position.
