When I realized we were designing for really tall girls I thought of a men's tux with tails - they look best on someone that's tall. So I started there and girled it up.
Summer is loving her outfit but is afraid to walk. She insists that she'll fall. I promised to catch her but she doesn't trust me. She says I'll give priority to the camera. (She may be right!)
Black buttons accent the short front of the jacket and the pleated back hangs past Summer's knees.
The outfit just screamed for something more, hence the glorified top hat.
The judges could go either way.... "it looks sophisticated and stylish" or (please, no!) it looks costume-y.
Fingers crossed!

Lookin' good! I like your female version of the tux tails. And hats and hair pieces seem to be very pleasing to the judges. I'm still struggling with sewing this small stuff. Looks like you are able to get a really close topstitching, right to the edge of the fabric. When I try this, my machine wants to eat the fabric. I'm about ready to turn to glue for everything!
Nice job, Kathleen!
See this is the kind of thing I thought the designers should do on the show!
I'm with Kat on this one - I thought that the designers were going to do something like this for the challenge. It would have been more interesting that's for sure. Your design is fabulous! So far I'm loving all the PPR designs way more than the real show designs. :)
Awesome, auntie! You are really coming into your own style:)
I love this outfit. Definitely my favorite. I think you could have won the challenge on the show.
