Buy the Kara Saun
Manolo says, one of the Manolo’s internet friends, she has sent the Manolo the most interesting note.
Dear Manolo:I think your blog is super fantastic and besides putting a smile on my face, it has also inspired me to dress better every day. And I think your synopses of the Project Runway episodes are sometimes even better than Tim Gunn’s!
I would say that anyway, but today I am writing you in particular because I am selling off one of my dresses from Project Runway 1. My wonderful husband managed to get me three of the dresses from Project Runway 1: two by Kara Saun and one by Austin Scarlett. A good seamstress finished two dresses for me and revised them for my figure, and I feel like a model whenever I wear them. But one of the dresses is meant for a girl with a much smaller bust than mine, and after trying to think how I could wear it anyway for almost a year, I decided to sell it on eBay.
Gosh, I know it’s awfully presumptuous to ask you to tell others about it, but I’m hoping you might think some of your readers would want to know: maybe one of them can wear it, or maybe they’d just like to have a designer prototype, just as some of us might like to have an original painting.
This dress, it is the very attractive green dress from the second episode, the challenge of which it was to design the cotton dress on the theme of the envy. This dress it was the winner for the week.
You may see the dress and bid on it here at the eBay

How much fun would it be to own a piece of Project Runway history! I wonder how the woman got these dresses to begin with…

After every episode, the outfits are auctioned off at the Bravo website, BadAng.

Manolo’s friend is truly fortunate in her choice of the husband! Alas, the Gidget has too little of the expendable income and too much of the bosom to be able to bid on this piece of the TV history.

Yep. I’d need a much smaller bust and much larger self-esteem to be able to pull this one off. Besides, this color makes me look bilious…
