You did a nice job on this fashion but it doesn’t quite go far enough with the transition or giving me a strong feel for your destination city. Your finishing on your fashion is wonderful. I didn't give you a higher construction score because I feel the dress should be more fitted through the bodice and waist and the bolero could also be more fitted.

I liked this, especially because a lot was done with classic pieces. And I also think the 1940s style of the outfit suits the model perfectly.

Janet:

Simple, classic lines and well-thought out. I wouldn't even have insisted on turning up the cuffs to show white for evening wear. It was enough to have a reversible jacket.

Very simple outfit that never the less fits the challenge. The scarf works well transforming the outfit from day to evening but I think more could have been done to make the transformation more obvious. A little more detail in the overall design would have enhanced the look. Fits the Canada theme beautifully.

Great job on your transition but I’m not sure that Lillith would have been carrying that extra set of shoes in the cabin with her. Your day look is fantastic and your night look is glamorous. I can see the trace of a silhouette for a Grecian Goddess.

This is an excellent example of the destination setting the tone for the design. The final effect was perfect for Carnival - Dressy, but just a bit "over-the-top". Good Work!

I liked the overall effect of the ensemble, especially the well-tailored coat. But I don't know that the outfit really meets the challenge in an imaginative way. Although the top is removed to show the dress, nothing really changes to create an entirely new look.

Your write up was correct - that coat was the star of the show! It's hard to imagine how such an elaborate coat could become a classic London weather wear...but it did! The skirt was a big hit with me, partly because I believe it wold work well at the dinner party.

Dramatic changes and the coat was a real hit with me, too. Obviously a lot of time spent thinking about the challenge, and it showed.

Very interesting and complicated outfit. Great tie in with the country chosen. All the pieces convert well from day to evening. I think, however the plaid cap and elephant bag are slightly out of place with the rest of the pieces in the outfit and a more appropriate solution could have been chosen. Love the detail in the skirt and the way it matches back to the silk coat, but I think the braid trim on the coat is too big a scale and draws too much attention. Overall a very clever design that is beautifully tailored and demonstrates great inspiration.

I just don’t feel that there is enough of a transition here though you have done a very nice job reflecting your destination city. I LOVE your armor dress. I knew exactly what it was before reading your description – it’s near perfect. I’m afraid I can’t love the silhouette of your coat over the dress – it’s almost there but just misses for me – I think it’s probably the way it bells out and drapes over the skirt of the dress.

I really, really liked the dress, and the over-all effect of the ensemble but i'm not sure it met the challenge as well as it could have. Pieces were removed but didn't really change in an interesting way. However, the details - gloves, boots, accessories - were fabulous.

Janet:

I was also impressed by the accessories. The dress was detailed. I would, however, have made it 2-piece and altered it, by bringing in a separate peice, such as a top.

Interesting description! A very dramatic design including a great Spanish touch with the fringing on the shawl. Love the theatrical cut of the dress and the fall of the back peplum layers.

I like the idea of your wrap dress and you now have me wondering what these look like on humans.

In my opinion, the coat was the star of the show. I enjoyed its dramatic silhouette that would turn heads in any crowd. I'm not sure the dress portion worked as well as it could have.

Terrific description and the design fits the bill well. Love the interchangeable dress, very clever! The coat sleeves are different and very high fashion but in this case I think sleeves of the same fabric would have been a more cohesive solution, either full or ¾ length and a little less flare in the skirt would have achieved a better silhouette. Perhaps a lighter weight fabric would have been a better choice. Cute tights.Not sure about the feathers but a fun outfit.

The transition on this fashion doesn’t seem to meet one of the main requirements of the challenge considering Alice’s luggage would have been lost; she would need to get creative with what she had worn onto the plane. She appears to pull the beaded top out of no-where. Maybe it was in the backpack but that seems to go against the spirit of this challenge. Your look is nice and very well made.

The crystal and bead embroidered top was perfect for the city as well as the event. I wished the lowered lighting would have allowed us to see the details of the whole ensemble better. I feel as though I missed too much.

Great research for this Russian based outfit. Obviously a lot of work has gone into creating this style.

Bravo on the trench coat and also the dress! I thought these two pieces were especially nice. Although the look did change, the garment pieces themselves didn't actually change, and it would have been more imaginative if they had. I also thought the grandmother's brooch was an excellent touch.

All the pieces were well made and looked lovely. I was looking for a greater change and I would have made the lace bottom a slip for daytime, and allow it to hang longer in the evening, for a glamourous look.
