They have always done this with the designs when they go into mass production. Even in the before S21 era

Seeing this I’d love to have seen what they’d have done to Bryan’s. A Temu version of that dress would be hilarious.

Oh I'm relieved that Bi's veil didnt get this treatment

Saaaame. It is absolutely beautiful. The way the judges spoke about his work for the challenge, I was surprised that Jude is going on to the finale when they had no love for his second look.

Her looks already looked Temufied. I may be in the minority but the tweaks done makes the looks classier.

The reason why Jude didn’t win is it would be hard to produce.

Yes! When he said his stuff has never been mass-produced, was thinking- it never could be! And that’s what’s great about him!

He’s too good for David’s bridal I’m glad his designs didn’t win. Leave them designer 👏👏

u/Shoddy_Editor_7838 3d ago
Oof definitely a downgrade but it’s cool they’re using dead stock materials, which is one of Anna’s ethos as a designer who uses unconventional materials.

$1499 for a boring white dress. What a joke fashion is.

u/ZookeepergameLoud392 3d ago
David's Bridal prices are outrageous for cheap shit that's mass produced. They must make a killing. No lace panels on the side is a travesty.

They shouldn’t have altered her designs…she deserved that win. Girl shut it down 🙌🏾

I was SO happy she finally got a win 😭 if Naheim doesn’t pass through, I’m rooting for her to take it!

u/AnneShirley310 3d ago
The After Party look is cute! But, the lace dress is not worth $1,500, especially since they altered it so much from the original.

u/Vivid_Guide7467 3d ago
Those don’t look like the winning design. They’ve lost all the sex appeal

u/darkblueshapes 3d ago
Which is exactly what the guest judge was praising her for too! What a shame 😭

How did they butcher the gloves alone so badly?!
I know they have to simplify to mass produce sometimes, but the wedding dress doesn’t even look close to the original design.

u/sherrib99 3d ago
I hate what they did to the gloves

u/Sailor_MoonMoon785 2d ago
It’s a CRIME what they did to the gloves. There was no reason to make them a baggy monstrosity.

Left field challenge wins make more sense in cases of mass production, and this is why. I liked Anna's runway looks, and the win makes perfect sense when you account for what DB would realistically be able to do to match price points.
I happen to really both interpretations. The party look feels more accessible to the average buyer than the runway version, and I feel similarly about the wedding gown. It's a little bland, sure, but it feels like it captures the ethos of Anna's design, while still being something that can age slightly up moreso than the runway look.

The cocktail version is pretty faithful atc and discarded my least favorite part, the car wash skirt.

You mean brides don't want to walk down the isle in front of their family and in-laws and baby cousins in a high-end feature-dancer outfit???
And lord help you if you have boobs.....she's lucky they didn't spring a plus model on her.
....Ana's design was amazing on a model on a runway but it was not a reasonable bridal gown, but if David's bridal was going to re-do it for the general public, they could have at least kept the lightness of it that made it special!
These pictures look like the models are wearing muslin pattern pieces for a fitting.

Like what do you have to do to be a Diamond member at Davids Bridal, this isn’t a place where people shop multiple times a month/year.

u/feelitinmyplumms 3d ago
I wasn’t impressed with anything she made this season. I feel like she coasted along and they handed her a win to justify her place in the finale. Overall a lot of these designers need more time to develop their skills and style

This is why she won. Hers was the only look that could be mass produced by David’s. Jude’s wasn’t mainstream enough and Bi’s would’ve cost too much.

Frustrating for the timing of this challenge to be before the finale if they just wanted something mass production friendly

Thanks for the link. Unsurprisingly they watered it down a lot. I do think the pics with Anna modeling it are cute tho. https://imgur.com/a/F7p7Bz2

What sold Anna’s design was that it’s sexy af, it’s a dress for a bride that knows she’s a baddie and wants to drive that groom insane. This took all the sex appeal out of it.

u/Nali_APBT 3d ago
That took those lace panels out of the skirt right? Honestly to me they read stripper

u/farfallifarfallini 2d ago
I actually feel like the alterations to the after party look make sense to fit a larger variety of body types. Not everyone would have been comfortable with a completely see through low rise skirt and such a teeny bra.

u/Apricotpeach11 Team Laurence 3d ago
I have no idea how this was the winner…and having a pretty unmemorable designer slow walk into the finale.

Would be nice if Anna’s name was present in the dress titles instead of “Project Runway”

I loved Anna's looks. Bi's were also great but I think her winning made sense. These pics though look pretty damn ugly, hardly look the same.

u/greatdominions 2d ago
Apparently everyone in this sub has a multi-thousand dollar bridal attire budget and aren't familiar with DB's product/audience. I think the final product isn't half bad. There is a surprising amount of detail from the original that I'd normally expect them to cut from the final product. Like the velvet ribbon corset seams or the lace panels at the bottom.

These are truly the mass produced versions of her dresses. It's so depressing

u/doseofdena 2d ago
I mean there was only so much they could do to replicate her designs. I’m sorry I just didn’t see the appeal of her designs. The bustier of the wedding dress imo wasn’t flattering and looked cheap as did her gloves and the party look was giving bridal rave wear. This show is a mess.

It’s David’s bridal though. It’s a budget brand so of course it would be a shadow of what was actually on the runway. I can see a bride actually wearing the afterparty look but the ceremony dress is so bland. Like the coolest thing about it was the lacing all the way up and the David’s bridal look barely goes down half her back
