The first batch of blogger garments  (http://us4.campaign-archive1.com/?u=d62d202e70817157be17da275&id=7fe8b3e98f&e=6f6c952d1a) have been put up and I must say I have deeply underwhelmed.  Only 'Scruffy Badger' has gone for glitzy fabric, and I wonder if Portia has even been to a cocktail party?  :(  Am I wrong to think that 'party clothes' need glam fabric?

I'm with you there- cocktail dresses should be glam and dressy, not something you'd have tea with your aunty in.  Maybe because so many places serve cocktails these days, they've become ordinary fare?

I would have entered it if there was free choice with the patterns. none of them inspired me at the time [although I have made a velvet version of the one Scruffy is wearing, with the other neckline option]

I should have entered this as I'm always in dire need of nice clothes. Quite disappointed with the pics, though they aren't exactly big enough to see in full detail.
