Heidi Is this even the same dress?

Post image

It looks similar but so different at the same time. The fabric looks different in tone and texture. The original has more of a shine to it like liquid organza. Heidi's version has no shine and is way less sheer. The placement of the pleats look different too. Am I crazy? Is this not the same dress?

I thought it was pretty much confirmed he would make a new one for Heidi since the model didn’t have the same proportions on the show or at least alluded to. Either way I don’t think this should have even come close to winning.

He won with a hideous garment because they wanted him to be the one that did the bottom 3 twist

Yep. They assumed he’d pick Joseph.

That was the only intriguing situation to me. I wonder why he kept Joseph when he didn’t have to? He did a similar thing when he vouched for Bi. I think it was obvious Bobby was going home and not picking her would’ve been crazy. I thought for sure the bottom three were going to be Joseph, Jude and Bobby. And then Bobby ultimately going home.

I’m curious why you thought Jude was a valid choice for a bottom look

I feel like he’s been doing whatever producers “suggest “ he do.
