Deleted spoiler!

Brogan’s made a play suit, not a jumpsuit.

I love Annie’s jumpsuit though I’m not convinced of the fit on the bust.

Oh, that’s a great result. I’m so pleased for her.

That’s really shocked me. I really was happy for any of them to win it though. They all deserved it for different reasons.

It was bagging up a bit around the crotch as her model walked too - but as a design I thought it was streets ahead of the others. They were such a talented group. And awww for Annie’s baby :love: (good looking parents, that one!).

It bothered me a bit that the bodice seams didn't match up with the trouser darts. Otherwise, it was fabulously dramatic.

Brogan could only only make frilly girly things.
Annie’s jumpsuit was fab but I would like to know if the model could lift her arms up safely in it. I think Debra’s looked like the best fit but I didn’t like the material. If she’d chosen a black satin or crepe she would’ve smashed that.

I did love Annie's jumpsuit in theory but in practice it was barely clinging to her model's nipples. I think I liked Debra's best. But any of them could have won aside from Brogan who just wasn't quite the standard of the others although I did like her jumpsuit, it was fun.

I loved that Annie won it as she’s long since been my quiet favourite, but I do think Man Yee was a bit robbed. Second in the pattern challenge, won the transformation, and her jumpsuit looked amazing, was impeccably made in two different and really tricky fabrics, and was a terrific fit too.

We said exactly the same - if Debra had made her jumpsuit in a more luxurious fabric she would have smashed that. She was my slight favourite to win all along, but when she mentioned the peri menopause she was definitely my winner. :lol:

They were all fab though, and I didn’t mind who won, but I agree that Annie’s jumpsuit didn’t actually fit properly around the bust, it should have been higher. She was so creative with a lot of her designs though.

So sad it’s over, can we get Wendy on it next year please?

Raging! I binged the last three episodes last night as I had series linked them (don't have access to BBC iplayer in Ireland). Except the final was changed to BBC2 :tantrum:

Infuriating, isn't it?! The BBC got so many complaints. I'm in the same boat re BBC access in Ireland. I recorded all the episodes in case I missed one. In the end, I was lucky that I was in and able to see the final when it aired, otherwise it would have been gone forever.

I don't know whether one can download from iPlayer? Probably not, but I might look for a solution when in the UK at the end of the month.
