Tess's dresses
Apart from the occasional ludicrous judging decision (I'm looking at you Len Goodman), one of the things about this season of Strictly that has got me riled is Tess's frocks. FFS BBC stylist dudes, sort it out! She's an attractive young lady with a good figure so why (oh why) do they make her wear such appallingly unflattering gowns (they are definitely gowns I think not just dresses or frocks)? Today's was extra atrocious, a sort of bastard offspring of a bin liner and something Alexis Carrington-Colby might have worn to the funeral of an ex-lover.
The main faux pas seem to involve poor Tess's boobs which are fairly ample but rarely given the support they are so desperately crying out for and so richly deserve. Last week's dress was beautifully draped and on a less buxom bosom would have looked great but as it was it made her look lumpy and matronly. Previously she's gone strapless but without enough scaffolding beneath to hold it all in place. I think overall the more cocktail style frocks she sports on the Sunday results show are better than the full length Saturday ballgown type things, but maybe tomorrow night will prove me wrong.
Mind you any girl who has to accessorize with Brucie is really on a hiding to nothing so I suppose she's making the best of a bad job. Maybe all the corsetry budget has gone on his undergarments. What an upsetting thought.
