My Take On Project Runway S13 E 9

The Challenge:

Each designer is paired with an American Girl Doll and a young girl that will act as their model. They are to draw inspiration from the doll's story and history and design a child's outfit. The designers are also provided with fabric that matches the dolls clothes, but they can also go to Mood and pick their own.

Guest Judges:

Elizabeth Moss- Mad Men

Heather Northrop- Senior Design Manager at American Girl

During the show:

Emily definitely has the advantage in this challenge because she already has a kid's line. However, I like the idea of the tulle skirt, but the colors seem a bit drab.

I really don't know how I feel about Sandhya as a person anymore. Part of me really feels bad for her, but the other part of me says that she is being pretty rude to some people.

I love the jacket Kini has made, but I am worried about how the rest of the look will come together.

Alexander's look doesn't seem to connect with his doll to me, but I really like the colors.

The pattern on Char's dress is really cute and fun, but the fringe vest she wants to put over it looks like a costume to me.

The shape of Korina's dress seems a little mature to me, not fun and light like a little girls dress should be!

Sandhya's look seems very homemade to me. I really don't like her design or the fabrics she is putting together.

It is truly amazing fast Kini works!

Alexander- I like this look... I think... His outfit is really cute but for me there slightly off that I cannot put my finger on. Either the bottoms don't fit quite right or the top is too sophisticated. I am really not sure how I feel about this.

Amanda- Her look came together effortlessly! The fabrics look cute and playful together, and I could see any little girl wearing that look.

Char- Like I said before, I really like the dress, and the colors represent her character very well. I think there is too much fringe on the jacket and it overwhelms the dress, but I can see why many people would really like this look.

Emily- Her outfit was very dark, and something I would not want to put my future daughter in! She also put a veil/net thing around her face, which was just odd and made it look like she was going to funeral to me. I could never see American Girl having an outfit like this.

Kini- I honestly want everything he made! The jacket and the dress are perfect!!! I would have no problem matching an American Girl Doll if I looked that cute!

Korina- Her looked turned out very nice! The panels she added made the dress have good movement and a fun and playful side to it.

Sandhya- This look is a mess! The peplum looks very odd, the buttons look like pokemon balls, and the whole thing just looks like a onesie! It even snaps up the back like a baby onesie would!

Sean- His look really had nothing special about it. The outfit was too plain and dull, not bright like the 70s inspired outfit could have been.
