Many make them, but to see them on real full-figured ladies as models, the specialty stores work better. (In case you doubt that there are oodles of work dresses that look great on women who don't "look like models," as Ven might say, peruse the web site of any retailer that specializes in those clothes - here's one example. If he really, honestly looked at her and thought, "OMG SHE IS SO BIG," then why wouldn't he have realized instantly that the tiny belts on display might not fit her?

If you can't figure out that nobody wants to try on belts that won't fit her in front of a room full of people, then you haven't learned much about plus-sized women, or women, or humans. He forced her through a public try-on of various belts, which he could easily have determined would not fit her since he had measured her and they are belts and perhaps the easiest thing on earth to determine will not fit. When he actually worked with Terri, you could see her deflate. is the model supposed to have the sense of style? Because I thought it was the designer.) He referred to the "before" picture of his client as "a nightmare." He even complained about her age - almost 40. Ven insisted she "doesn't have a shape," and "doesn't have any sense of style whatsoever." (I'm sorry.

As Ven chortled in disgust at his estimate that his client was a size 14, Tim pointed out that that's only "on the cusp" of plus sizes. Tim Gunn recognized the problems with Ven's approach right away. Fabio didn't complain that his model rejected feminine dresses on a show that specializes in feminine dresses, after all. He saw all the women as interchangeably easy or difficult to design for, except for their size, which made his the most difficult of all. He saw none of that, and none of the challenges that came with anything else about these women. She didn't rule anything out, that we saw. She didn't specify color, style, length, a performing outfit, or pants. Some of the designers got smaller models than Ven did, but as a counterbalance, all Terri and her pal really asked for was a dress or a skirt. Problem number two is that women are not all created equal aside from their size. He complained that it was unfair that others had women who looked like models, while he had a "plus-size figure." Of course, problem number one here is that there are plus-sized models, and there are designers who don't react like they've been confronted with a bucket of putrid pond water when they see them. Ven, on the other hand, continued to gripe in his sourpuss fashion about the limitations of his "plus-size" ( barely so, incidentally) woman. The challenge brought in women ranging from a singer who wanted a slinky, sexy dress to an artist who specifically didn't want anything too feminine. They varied in size and style, in age, and in what they wanted out of the designers.
Last night's episode was called "Fix My Friend," and the clients were women whose friends or family had nominated them for a fashion overhaul. Of course, reality television constantly surprises with its ability to surprise people who shouldn't be surprised. But you will likely not get all the way through the season designing for models only. Maybe it will be designers' relatives, maybe men, maybe a rock band, maybe women who have lost lots of weight, maybe girls going to the prom. And you can expect a challenge that will require you to make clothes for people other than models. You can expect to be told to make it work. You can expect at least one challenge where you make clothes out of food, or auto parts, or plants and flowers. When you sign up for Project Runway, there are a few things you can expect. Designer Ven Budhu, seen here on a previous episode, got in big trouble on last night's Project Runway.
