Project Runway 5

I can't be the only one bouncing on the edge of her seat, gleefully awaiting the return of Project Runway {next Wednesday, for those of you sadly uninformed!} Until then, let's take a moment to look back on what may possibly be the most beautiful dress ever created on said show: The Chrysler Building Dress.

Oh, the exquisite details! The buttons, the pleating, the decadent fabrics! I love the elegant belt, the high {but not too high} waist. In fact, if you were to remove the {dated} flower and the {nasty} wrap, it would be museum worthy.

Someday, if I have enough money to commission a custom made dress, you can bet it will be modeled after this piece of perfection. Season 5, you have a lot to live up to.  {images via}

{As a random side note, you haven't lived until you've heard my husband do a reluctant Tim Gunn impression. Priceless!}
