I loved the bird seed dress, too.
But I hated the dog bed shirt, looked like a big puff ball. If that had been someone larger than a size one, it would have looked terrible.
I think sometimes they just pick a designer and whatever they do they will like, keeps the drama going in the show.
I am surprised at how good the woman from South America (former Miss something) who has only been sewing for four months did. I didn't want to like her, but she is really good.
