Yes I thought the blue was a jump suit for a second.

Oh no, the pink thing is awful. And the unfinished sleeves aren't a feature.

I definitely did! Worn with massive black boots.

I used to dream of being able to wear a dress like that 90's one.

Fiona's dress's fabric was so pretty. Love it.

The pink dress will go home.

I like Angilla. I do not like the dancer man with the pink travesty.

Wrong decision

I do like the winning dress. Good choice.

Oh that's a shame. I think she would have settled in given another week or two

Dancer man will go next week.

Oh no, I like Angillia! I jinxed her

I don't think it was the wrong decision - I think both Angillia and Dancer Man were absolutely going to be early leavers. I don't think Angillia was at all comfortable there.

Pink dress survived? I am amazed. Actually, both of the last 2 dresses were equally bad and should both have stayed.

Gawd, that hour always goes so quickly!

Oh, this just makes me want to learn to sew! Any suggestions for a book or online series of beginners projects if I decide to invest in a sewing machine?

Loved it! Just the sort of TV we need at the moment!

I'd love to be able to sew too Book. Sewing machines mostly scare me though, I don't understand how to fix them when it goes tits up.

Claire's shoes are fab!

@BookSkark I would recommend any of Tilly and the Buttons books, they include patterns and the instructions are very clear. There are lots of helpful videos on YouTube too.

Or see if there are sewing lessons or a sewing club near you (in the future obviously).

I've always thought i'd suit a stitch and bitch group.

I did a six week learn to sew course locally and it just gave me enough confidence to use a sewing machine, do a zip and buttonhole and read a pattern. Then anything else is on YouTube!

Hi everyone, late to the party but watched and texted with friends. I really liked Peter's tea dress and was surprised that it was so criticized for what I thought was a really good repair of the error he made.It was barely noticeable.

Very much looking forward to next week though I think Alex is vulnerable to go.

Thanks @CaptainMyCaptain. I'm resigned to the fact I'll have to teach myself, but I managed to teach myself crochet so sewing must be possible as well!

But yes, @MonsteraCheeseplant nails it. Sewing machines are scary - and not cheap. But despite my Corona-enforced pay cut, I'm saving a reasonable amount of cash right now through not going out, so seems as good a time as any to take the plunge!

I love those wide sleeves on the sort of tropical tea-dress

I would suit that!

Oh, and pink dress was awful. But with so many people at this stage, I can't remember what he did in the other rounds - maybe they saved him.
