On the most recent episode of Lifetime’s Project Runway, the designers were asked to create a look for Heidi’s Babies ‘R Us collection using fabrics from her line. Their models were twelve to eighteen months old. In a twist, they also had to design a look for their models’ mothers.
Once again, PR failed to appreciate that I’m out here in the fashion vortex designing, so I didn’t receive any of Heidi’s fabrics. But I did have some fabric Lynne has used to make things for Lila. I used a striped cotton to make a romper for Maria.
For the back, I used a print and added oversized yellow buttons.
The front of the romper has a frog prince (sitting on a mushroom) appliquéd on it.
Tim was in Maine recently and saw Helen, who sent him back to Houston with a gift for me that she found in her basement. Her generosity inspired retro fashion on a vintage model.
Helen sent a pair of vintage pink mules.
For an appropriately vintage look for Kelly’s mom Chris, I designed a pink cotton chemise dress.
The oversized collar uses the same fabric that was used on Maria’s romper.
Since Helen sent a second pair of vintage shoes, I designed a second retro look. I think these pink and white gel pumps may have been designed originally for Francie, because Gwen had to go all Wicked Stepsister to get them on her feet.
To go with the shoes, I designed a basic shift dress in pink Dupioni silk.
Nobody has arms that look as good as Barbie’s in cap sleeves.
Three girls: pretty in pink!
Hope you enjoyed the fashions. Thanks, Helen, Lynne, and Tim. See everybody next time on the runway!

did you do the red-headed bubble midge & the Pretty in pink reference as a nod to Molly Ringwald?
Cute outfits
Thanks!
Funny you should ask about Molly Ringwald…stay tuned.
They look stunning, dahling, just stunning. You are one talented lady!
Thank you! And thank you again for the shoes. LOVE ‘EM!
Again fantastic designing! But I would like to know how Kelly pulled off the “Look, ma, no hands!” pose.
However, watching the show with the bawling brats I couldn’t help thinking, “If only W. C. Fields could be in the design room.”
Those fake babies were horrendous. I wouldn’t have been able to get anything done.
As for “no hands,” it’s magic. Thanks for the praise!
Kelly’s outfit is adorable!! I’d buy it for Sloane in a heartbeat!! I like both “Mom” outfits, but the second one is my favorite!!
Thanks, Gary. =)
I love the hot pink dress … I cant wait for all stars to start
Thanks!
I know. I can’t imagine why they assembled this group for All Stars unless they are wanting MAJOR DRAMA. There wasn’t much drama in regular PR Season 10, other than the people who quit. The final four all liked each other and everything.
