"They heaviest dress we have done was a joining dress took three of us to lift it. We had a really hard lifetime getting it out of the door.

"The brides get scars on their hips from wearing the dresses, but they have a saying - 'the worse the scars, the superiority the dress'."

It was the children's dresses created by the twin which drew the attention of programme-makers at Sluice 4, and were featured in Channel 4's My Big Fat Gypsy Christmas.

"We are asked to discern a lot of matching adult and children dresses.

"The First Communion dresses are like mini-uniting dresses," said Suzanne.

"We also away special dresses for children to wear on Christmas Day. They are unequivocally old-fashioned. They are quite Victorian-looking."

However, the Babers said they enjoyed making all the travellers' dresses.

The Bachelor Ben Flajnik – Episode 3 Review – “Shawntel & Mean Girls”

01.01.70

Ben’s sister, looking a lot healthier thanks to some extensions and less bitter than we last saw her on her high horse (stupefaction surprise, she has a boyfriend!) and him exchange a quick palaver before he reveals which base he’s gotten to with half the girls… fascinating to see how Ben has challenged the normal sequence this show traditionally has where hometowns and people come closer to the end.  What a rebel!

Meanwhile, once the girls break off squealing about their amazing view Chris Harrison enters with the unexpected gossip that there will be dates this week!  It’s pretty glaring that Chris has gotten himself a new stylist this season.  He’s reduced his ensembles to three layers – I’ve seen him do five in sickly that calls for a bikini (though almost everything on this show calls for a bikini), and though it’s only experience three, dare I say, he’s removed the colour salmon from his stock of clothing entirely?

So Emily, a less butch, slightly prettier Kendra Wilkinson snags the first man and of course, Courtney has something to say about it. ‘I always say book well-educated can be a little boring’.  Yeah, I’d say that too…if I were an IDIOT.  I about Courtney has truly perfected the body parlance for the phrase ‘just sayin’.  Review on your bottom lip and get a bit of your cheek in there too.  Look slightly to the side and shrug frequently.  Go ahead.  Try it.  It works, no?  Yeah, I be informed you’re doing it.  I feel so powerful moowaaahahahaha (that’s my misery laugh, just in case you weren’t foolproof)
