At the time my response was “Great lines, horribad print.” The reason he won (besides by default) was that the Belk buyer said “It would look great in all sorts of colors.” So did they offer it in all sorts of colors? What I want to know is, how did the final dresses compare with what our designers made? Well….

Now that they’re here, TV has moved on, and is already casing for Season 13 this coming summer. When this episode appeared back in September, everyone was googling for the dresses. So why did it take nearly six months to get Belk to carry the winning designs from last season? I can only imagine that Belk’s department shoppers made this choice. (Well, at least with the outfit they wanted to sell.) The same thing happened with Under the Gunn. (Even when they totally redesign them.) The All Stars have their dresses in production already and on websites by the time the episode airs. Most places strike while the iron is hot when it comes to selling Project Runway dresses. You may think I’m being a little hard on Belk for waiting until the Spring season to release these outfits. God only knows when (or if) they’ll ever carry that. Pleased be advised: this is not Season 12 winner Dom’s line we’re talking about here.
So long you may not even remember the episode I’m talking about or the contestants in question who won.

So there you have it, the anatomy of our most time consuming dress (so far).They’re finally for sale! Six months after the episode aired and two full seasons of knock off shows later, Belk finally got around to putting the winning dresses from the “Belk Challenge” up for sale. So much so, that it’s hanging on our “design studio” wall to serve as future inspiration. In the end, we were both thrilled with our finished project. And the final piece is, of course, the necklace that reaches her waist. The collar was then taped to the backside of the top (and straps) and simply stands up on it’s own. Next, the “sleeves” simply slipped onto her arms and stayed in place. We then added the “straps” which attached to the top in the front and back (with the “feathers” covering her shoulders). Next, we wrapped the top around her and taped it together in the back. The bottom wraps around her and the areas without “feathers” overlapped (which is where we taped it together). We constructed each of the pieces independently and then taped them all on together to create our finished “dress”. And since we get a LOT of questions about how things come together, I thought I’d share the dissected version of this dress.Īs you can see there are lots of pieces. She also insisted on making the necklace solo. This was truly a 50-50 project as Mayhem did at least half of the tearing and half of the gluing. So we dove in headfirst and quickly found that making “feathers” by simply tearing strips of construction paper was going to be the key to this look. because clearly, the headphones would be the most difficult part 😉 The argument that sealed the deal was “Come on Mom, we don’t even have to make the headphones, remember Granny got me some for Christmas!” …. I truly aspire to one day be as persistent as she is. But if Mayhem is nothing else, she is relentless. I just couldn’t wrap my brain around how it all would come together. To be honest, I denied the first five requests Mayhem made for this dress. She stumbled across the above left image last week and immediately said “Ooooooooh, Mom! This one! This ONE!”. We have tabs open on our iPad showing google image search results for both “Taylor Swift dresses” and “Project Runway dresses” and Mayhem loves to scroll through them. And that time was spread over two days (attention span shortage, anyone?). It took somewhere close to four hours to make.
To date, this is our most time consuming dress.
