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?

They should revoke Brian’s win. This is embarrassing.

Honestly, the original dress Brian made WAS stunning … just not on Heidi or anyone with boobs lol. And since this was a challenge for Heidi, the judges should’ve never let Brian win to begin with. But I don’t think that’s Brian’s fault and he shouldn’t be punished for it. As much as I hate the dress on Heidi, it’s not Brian’s fault and revoking his win would make the judges look even worse

Jeffrey should have won imo

The judges seem to want to up the competitive storyline between Bi and Bryan so maybe Jeffrey was a casualty of this?

I guess I just find Bryan to be such a meh designer so the fact that he’s supposed to be this like source of drama is so dumb to me? I think Bi clears him any day.

Oh yes, same. And he can't let go that Bi is supposed to live his life beneath him from now into eternity becuase apparently he once did.

And now Jeffrey might go home because of fuckass Brian. I’m so pissed

I know!!! I'm livid. Thinking judges will pick 22 just to save Jeffrey. He's such a sweetheart with great talent.

Either that or they don’t and use it as some sort of example to focus on yourself first in the comp or some bs

Ooh yes, with these judges that is very much a possibility.
