The only dress my 16 year old daughter liked and would even consider wearing was Sweet Pea's dress. I thought I knew what I was talking about, lol. Nice to have it confirmed by the target audience. I just picture the proms I have been at over the past few years and most of those dresses from the show last night would never have found their way onto the bodies of my female students for prom night! \

This was my granddaughter's prom from a month ago. The shape is similar to Victoria's dress and the fabric yoke is metallic. She just turned 16 on Jan. 1st and I felt it was very age appropriate for her.

Is it just me, or does most of Rami's designs involve drapping fabric? I can't seem to get out of mind that fact. Personally, I don't think any of those dresses (with the exception of Sweet P's) would be worn to a prom in my area.

Your granddaughter had a prom in December? I thought proms were always in the spring. I wonder if a lot of this comes down to regional traditions.

Hermione69 it might have been a Winter Formal dance she was talking about. My daughter has that in February and they wear the fancy long dresses for that and then Prom is in early June here in Orange County and again, fancy long dresses. She did short dress for Homecoming but the trend around here is long for Winter Formal and Prom. My daughter was just laughing throughout the show.....

Okay you are right...Homecoming! I call them all proms!! You mean she is going to want another dress in the Spring? DG shopped for months for this one...in fact she had gotten three so she could have a choice at the last minute. She's pretty fashion conscious and her folks indulge her....she's a nice kid and maintains 4.0 grades so it's not for me to say. But I did make her mom's clothes and would never have dreamed of spending the money DG spends on clothes. Another generation!!

LOL, yeah, we do Homecoming here, too. Most proms are much more formal and I bet you it will be an even bigger event for your granddaughter when she goes to the prom, so prepare yourself!

And there might be a winter formal in between, haha. People on the Bravo message boards are really mad about last night's show. Most did not like Victoria's dress at all, most felt Sweet Pea should have won and everyone is upset about Kevin going before Ricky or Christian for his dress last night.

i think the judges know who they want in the finale and it evidently wasn't kevin. they saw a chance to dump him so they took it. they know they can get rid of ricky anytime. have they ever really liked anything of his? christian's dress was awful, the worst one of the bunch.

I suspect that they didn't want Sweet P to have immunity next week.. considering some of her disaster dresses in the past. I liked the shorter dress better, but it was clear that Sweet P's was a winner too.

Kennedy just said on reality remix that she thought "Ricky's lame potatosack pink dress" would get him the boot.. and she also thought Kevin would have made it to Fashion week.

While prom dresses are available in all lengths, I think many girls tend to do what their friends are doing. If everyone is going glam, then floor length gowns are required. It also depends on the area of the country. I think long dresses are more prevalent in SoCal, while I know shorter dresses were popular last year in Reno. At any rate, I still think Sweet Pea should've won. Her gown just totally embodied what going to the prom is all about -- being princess for the day. The silk charmeuse was a perfect weight, and the champagne color was very rich. The dress was well designed and well executed. And I still hate the weird v shaped crystal patch on the bdice of Victorya's dress. If the entire bodice had been blinged out, that would've been a different story.

I must be alone in this but I loved Victorya's dress! I loved the color, the length and the crystals on the bodice. I thought her model looked young and appropriate! Supergranny, your granddaughter looks adorable!!

Watching now. I only liked a few of these dresses. I really didn't like Christian's and Ricky's and Kevin's and Victorya's. I love Rami's dress cept kill that drape and make that side look like the other. I love the red Kevin used though. I also really like Sweet Pea's dress.

I think Rami's dress might've worked if it was floor length, yes?

Vaca, I loved Vic's dress, the color, style and so on.. but maybe I'm a throwback to the sixties too where short short short was in. I wasn't a prom type so no expert on that.. and with Sweet P's I projected my own gut into that and kept holding it in just to watch the dress.. just didn't seem real relaxing but of course there's always a good foundation garment to be used ..

This is the first year I haven't been in charge of the prom for years. My experience in the midwest is very rare to wear short dresses to prom. Homecoming the most and occasionally the formals. I really liked Chris' dress the best. I thought it was the cutest, but between Victorya and Sweet Pea I thought SP should have won. I am so over Christian.

Nah Costa. Nothing wrong with his length just that drape thing. My prom dress was knee length. And plunging front that my dad made me cover with lace lol. Wish I had a pic.

I think Victorya's dress matched her client really well and that she looked cute in it. I thought Sweet P kicked butt, though. Not digging Rami's drape either! I wore a short, fitted dress white dress to my prom 15 yrs ago! Accesorized by fancy gloves with no hands... I think there was so many different styles out too....

I liked both Sweet P's and Victorya's dresses. I didn't like that weird bling patch on V's dress at first, but it looked pretty good on the runway. It's harder to say I liked Victorya's dress just because I don't like Victorya herself, lol. I hated, hated, hated Ricky's dress. I would wear Kevin's dress any day over that sack thingie Ricky made. Shoot, I WOULD wear a sack over that "dress"! Ricky hasn't made anything good the whole time, while Kevin has performed pretty well up until now. I think Ricky should have gone home, or if not him, then Christian with his bad atitude and hideous dress.

Sea, but Sweet Pea's prom dress was designed for you. It was designed for the 17 year old girl who wore it and looked fab in it.

I thought that Christian's color choice was odd for that girl also - but then when I saw her on the runway and how that brown fabric glowed gold in the lights, I thought it was right. Unfortunately that was about the ONLY thing that was right with that dress. However I am glad he was not aufed since he has a lot more talent than most of them.
