PPR Challenge 1 – Susi’s Design

This season started with a bang!

The challenge was to make something from the pajamas that ‘we’ were wearing. I was going to cut up some of my pajamas, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it. So I was a little liberal with the rules, and I did what one of the contestants did. I used a pair of boxers. (and let’s set the record straight, these boxers were new, never-been-worn)

The dress is made from a handkerchief, and the little jacket is cut from boxers.

On the runway, Heidi said “Tell us about your outfit.”
The handkerchief was so thin, it had the quality of a lovely summer cotton, so I was inspired to do a little summer dress, that would be made from a fine linen or cotton cloth.

I have had it with the ‘mess’ on the runway. I have been listening to the ‘judges’ (in my head) and their critiques from last season, and I tried to focus a little more on construction this year.

No messy hemline.  Attention to waistband details. And care taken to make sure it looks good from the back too.

So Micheal and Nina will not gasp, and hold their cards like visors over their eyes to try to see “what is going on” in the back.

I was super excited to see my pieces on the runway.
Micheal said “you listened to what we told you”
Nina said “nice work with the materials.”
Heidi said “I would totally wear that! But I would make the skirt shorter.”
Of course you would Heidi. But we would be happy to have you wear anything from the Casa d’ Cornish.
