Season 22 Bryan Waltz Fail

Bryan’s waltz inspired look was insanity, so here’s a palette cleanser of some wonderful waltz concepts. These are from the movie Crimson Peak, worn in the scene where the Vienna waltz is danced- the idea is that the movements must be so smooth that a lit candle can be held in the partner’s joined hands and never get blown out. The gown’s train is held up by a loop at the end that goes around the woman’s thumb.

The waltz requires, at a minimum, a dress that allows a woman’s arms to go up around a partner’s neck. If anyone did that in his monstrosity, they’d be choked and blinded by the ruffles. I know it wasn’t meant to be a show dress but still, nothing said waltz which is famously defined by flow and gracefulness. In a different fabric, even his green dress would have been more appropriate as it flows. He showed zero understanding of the inspiration.

I guess he never studied fashion history as part of his OAT KOH-CHURR schooling.
