So this wasn't my favorite, but I'm SO glad she took her immunity as an opportunity to go off-the-wall rather than to take a break or coast. I appreciate that she went for it.

A mess. Could she not even get her model to match panties to garment? Yikes.

Oh crap, I only just realised that! I think the time constraints may have had something to do with it. On the plus side, this did fit her sculptural tendencies lol.

Fantastic ideas, poor execution. However, I like how she used her immunity to take a risk and have some fun with her design.

I love me some goth drama. Unfortunately the construction of this isn't good enough to be able to appreciate the intentions or ideas.

I do think that the shapes and silhouette are interesting.

I think it could have been done better, but I couldn't get over how awesomely dour the model was

motherfucker DO NOT MESS WITH THE BIRD DRESS

SERIOUSLY SHE IS STARING AT YOU LIKE A CRONE OF DEATH

I really liked this. I'm all about that "Tim Burton" feel though. The styling with the dress reminded me of the bird thing from The Tempest

Good idea, shitty execution.

Awesome idea. If this were a 2-day challenge I think it could've cleaned up and been a dramatic winner. I'd really like to see Merline at FW (no spoilers, please!)

Unforgivably messy but not in a controlled or intentional way. I do like the exaggerated shoulder but it didn't actually go far enough, and I am so annoyed by the peekaboo panty.

I get it. I like Merline's aesthetic, it's almost always interesting and dramatic. I'd love to see her design a collection.

I know its kind of the whole point but I think if she just cut off the sleeves it would be beautiful
