I liked Leann's bridesmaid dress. Jerrel what were you thinking with those flowers? I really liked the idea of the color Korto used for the wedding dress but it didn't really look like a wedding dress.

Michael Kors told Kenley that her wedding dress had already been done by Alexander McQueen, and Kenley told him, "No, there's NO silhouette out there like mine." He told her a couple of times that it was just like something that had already been done, but that hers was done beautifully. Kenley has talent, but it's her absolute refusal to listen to anything she doesn't want to hear that drives me bonkers. Michael tried to tell her once before, on that astrological challenge, that her dress was very much like something that had already been done, but she said, "I don't look at other designers' collections." Well, if she doesn't look at other designers' work, how does she know her stuff HASN'T already been done?

If you look at Alexander McQueen's catwalk slide show Look 34 does look a bit like Kenley's. http://www.alexandermcqueen.com/us/en/shop/womenswear/autumn-winter-08/catwalkvideo-aw08.aspx

I absolutely loved Leeanne's wedding and bridesmaid dresses. Sorry to J go but the bottom 2 were not pretty dresses.

If Leanne doesn't win it, I'll be very surprised.

I see nothing similar between the two dresses except a similarity with the OVERALL silouette (and any fitted bodice and full skirt will have the same look). I've thought all along that Leanne would win. Then again, all three women have been the most consistent with their designs.

Michael Kors thought it was similar enough to mention it a couple of times.

That may be, but a ballgown silouette is still a ballgown silouette. If you compared the same type of wedding dress with most other designers, you'd see the same similarities. It's a fitted bodice and a full skirt.

Don't they both have feathers and that little hat? That's what makes it even more similiar to me. But hey, I think Kenley's dress is very cute, and the fashion insdustry is all about knocking off designs over and over again. Not that Kenley did that. And not that there's anything wrong with that.

I think it's the feathers that make it look similar to me too. But I like Kenley's silouette 100 times better.

They are very similar. Same basic design, same color of feathers and tool. Both are sleeveless and well, what is different?? (Aside from the bottom of the bottoms?) Even have similar headpieces. Main difference is the bottom half of the bottom halves--McQueen is angled and has much less toole. Also in the top half, it's more flattering in the stomach area as it is more form fitting. There is just no way that Kenley could argue that these dresses are not similar to the point of being identical in areas...

Oh, I like Kenley's bottom much better and McQueen's bodice?? (stomach area) better...

I still think whoever wears it best not do so during hunting season.

Was I the only person who thought of Christian's Bryant Square dresses last year as soon as I saw Kenley's wedding dress?

Thanks, everyone, for all the great photos and links! I had been wondering what the McQueen dress looked like! And loved the dress of Leanne's that was linked to on esty above!

LOL, Sugar.. or if there is a hunting dog around.. Even though labradors are retrievers, many of them have the instinct to "point" for game too.. I had a friend with a big, goofy yellow lab couch dog but he started standing and "pointing" at their coat closet. turned out there was a down sleeping bag inside.

very week showings by this final 4. I think this was a weak season as far as designs went. I said Korto would win weeks ago and I am still sure she will. I liked Jerrell, sorry to see him go

When I first saw Jerrel's and Korto's bride and bridesmaids dresses I knew one of them was going home. I liked Jerrell but his last designs were not so good. Same with Korto. I can't stand Kenley but I have to admit I liked her designs this week. Leanne is still my fave to win.
