It was a weird fit, something odd happening at the belly area as well I was also surprised they didn't comment on it properly but maybe that's just the editing.
It wasn't the worst or the best of the bunch though🤷🏻‍♀️
I also agree none of them were great, if anything Beth's would've been better without the overshirt, the cheap chiffon was hiding 90% of the Chanel- quality tweed🤨
As a bigger busted lady, Emma should really know how to do a full bust adjustment for her model but her M2M always looks tight at the bust and they never comment on it

I bought his book on audible and I was really excited because he narrates it but honestly I couldn't get beyond a chapter or two because his voice was really boring even though the subject title of something that I'm really interested in! 🫣🫣🫣
Is that the one about cluttering your wardrobe or something?

I think the chiffon top would have worked better under the tweed bustier.

Beth’s looked a bit untidy to me, I think because the chiffon seemed to be really creased? I did really like Heather’s design though and to me it looked better made than Anna’s

Can’t call the final! I think Beth is probably the most consistent but the judges do seem to really like Anna

I've no idea, but I can't say it concerns me as I have a weird crush on Stephen from Traitors 😂
I mean I could be wrong but I also really like Patrick! Not Stephen Fry though! Although once I did have a weird (very short lived) crush on Ian Hislop from Not the nine o'clock news!

I rather hope it was Stephen from the regular traitors not Mr. Fry from the celeb one, because that would be one seriously weird crush. 🤢

Beth is my winner, pre final, she's been consistent, great sewer and innovative, fun designs throughout. Anna will probably win as it's felt that way from the start, but I hope it's not a done deal!

My favourite of the M2M this week was Emma's. I thought it fitted lovely and I loved the oily background colours in the fabric.

Aw no, poor Patrick 😂 I met him last year and he was really lovely and chatty.
I'm sure he'll be gutted to know that I've gone off him! 😂 😂 😂

A cross he'll have to bear 😂

I don't dislike him as such - I just think he's lost a lot of sex appeal.

He has a very glam blonde girlfriend, so unless he's a MN husband-type, I doubt he's gay.

Stephen Fry is 🤢🤢🤮

I've never even thought of Hislop other than as the living embodiment of Dan the Potato Man from Bill and Ben years ago.

 
I can't deal with stuff like that. It often boils down to snobbery about inexpensive clothes, disguised as environmental concern and something vaguely wellbeing-ish. I don't want to wear "timeless classics", as if such a thing really exists, in boring neutral colours, even though I don't have much money.

Yes quite often we're advised to 'invest' in some really good basics. All very laudable but it's usually things like a Brora cashmere jumper for about £500, some Grenson boots for a similar amount. Most people just don't have that outlay.
Quite often online I'll see a small business producing beautiful fair isle jumpers (for eg) and I think I'd like to support them - but they're about £600 😩
I still find my best bits in charity shops. Often men's rails for jumpers, sleeveless tank tops etc and they're usually cheaper than the women's.
