Project Runway Finale Part 1!

Surprise! Another challenge! Before sending the designers off to create their lines, Heidi tells them that they'll have to include a wedding dress in their collection. This dress would decide who was going to Bryant Park and who was going home.
When the designers had returned to New York after Tim's visit, they were given yet another challenge. They had to create another dress- a bridesmaid dress to accompany their wedding dress.

Let's check out the runway!

Top 2: Leanne and Kenley
Bottom 2: Korto and Jerell
Eliminated: Jerell

Leanne

Wow. Gorgeous. Leanne's wedding dress was absolutely impeccable. It was so light and flowy- it was very Leanne.
Her bridesmaid dress was cute too. It definitely fit in with the wedding dress. Great job, Leanne! (P.S. Karalyn is back! Gasp! I'm guessing that there were some uncomfortable moments behind the scenes!)

Kenley

Kenley did a pretty good job this week. Although it was somewhat of an Alexander McQueen knockoff, honestly, I liked it.
The bridesmaid dress didn't have anything to do with the wedding dress. I mean, it was cute, but I didn't think that it was "the cutest dress i've ever seen."

Korto

This was not Korto's best work. At all. First, let's talk about her wedding dress. Frankly, this was butt- ugly. The dress adds about 40 pounds to her model, and there's waaaaaay too much going on. All the crap that's stuck on it only adds to the bulk.
Her bridesmaids dress is also questionable. It doesn't look like something you'd wear to a wedding. But at least it's cute.

Jerell

Ack! What was Jerell thinking? Jerell's concept (which is made clear by his horrendous Bryant Park collection) is to throw lots of crap together and hope it works. And if it looks bad, add more crap. Flowers, encrusted bodice, asymetry, huge volume and dirty tulle? That's quite a lot on a wedding dress.
His bridesmaid dress was no better. That fabric was absolutely disgusting. It showed every pucker and wrinkle. Uck! It just wasn't pretty at all. Auf Wiedersehen, Jerell!

Be sure to watch the finale next week!
