I loved Leann's wedding dress! I couldn't believe how perfectly she was able to whip up such a cute bridesmaid's dress to go with it. I hope she wins it all.

I was disappointed that Jerrell didn't make it to the finale. I was looking forward to seeing his dresses on the runway.

I loved Kenley's and Leanne's wedding and bridesmaid dresses. I thought Jerrell's was terrible, especially his bridesmaid dress - it was just flat out UGLY. Jerrell's attitude has been bugging me just as much as Kenley's. I'm happy with the three that made it to Fashion Week.

I want to buy everything Leanne makes, period. Again, after looking at the collections they all showed at Fashion Week, my bets are all on Leanimal!

Except for that hideous brown dress she made at the beginning of the season that had those weird loops hanging off of them!

I thought Kenley's dresses were fun, and I'd like to go to that wedding. The mood would have to be fun and zany!

I loved Leanne's dresses, they were so tasteful and lovely. The mood of that wedding would probably be all CLASS!!

I can see the inspiration, but they cannot accuse Kenley of plagiarism. The dresses are too different.

Despite not liking Kenley much previously (or at all), she wasn't bad this time around, and I LOVED her wedding dress. I thought her BM dress was pretty cute too. And of course I loved Leanne's dresses too - very elegant. I could pass on both Jerrell's and Korto's dresses, but from what I saw briefly of the collections I liked Korto's over Jerrell's. I'm so excited for the finale!

Seriously? How do you think those dresses are different? Cause Kenley added more tulle at the bottom?

I would definitely call that plagiarism, the similarities are too great.

And I much rather wear the Alexander McQueen dress than Kenley's dress. His looks much more polished and more sophisticated.

McQueen's dress looks better! Compared with Kenley's version, McQueen's is much more flattering! Look at the size of that model's waist!

Wow, when Michael Kors said it was a dead ringer for the McQueen dress I didn't think it was basically the exact same dress! Given that Kenley is obviously into fashion more than the average person you KNOW she had seen that dress before. That's so sketchy. Didn't Kenley even say something like "he didn't do this silhouette!" Right, because her silhouette is SOOOOO different.

I don't get what people thought was so plain about Kenley's bridesmaid dress. It was a tad short, but I thought it was perfect for a bridesmaid dress. But then I don't care for crystals and sexy sexy and spaghetti straps for a bridesmaid dress; I like pretty colors and clean looks, so her's was totally something I would pick out for my maids.

Leanne's Dress (I don't think this is a good picture of it)

Korto

Jerrell

Have y'all seen this http://projectrunway.auction.seenon.com/? They have final runway looks for Jerrell, Suede and Joe. I wonder why they let all three of them show at Fashion week?

Fashion Week has come and gone so I'm sure they all had to show as to have decoys on the actual final 3.

My impressions of the runway show:

Kenley: The only piece I liked was that tan dress, with the flowers flowing in one direction. Some of her pieces were tacky, and very retro (and not in a good way).

Korto: Amazing! I loved how she had very similar designs, but each was tweaked in a different way. And I loved her use of color. I'm glad she didn't show the wedding dress she made and changed it! That white one was gorgeous, and should have been the one she showed in the first place.

Leanne: This was really good, but I didn't like that she used only 3 colors. I understand it was about waves and such, but she could have used purples and other color palettes.
