I thought Ann looked very elegant last night, but generally the costumes were as bad as I think Ive ever seen them.

Likes (and they are few):
Brendan in the red shirt
Artem's hat
Pamela's dress (if Scott has lost all his weight from his face, Pammy has lost her's from her legs; they looked very shapely)

Dislikes:
Patsy's blowsy outfit
Vincent in Hot Pink
Scott and Natalie's clashing wardrobe (though only out of performance - during the routine the clash of colour was very apt and the door prop tied it together nicely. Hmm, maybe that should be sufficient to be removed from the dislike list...)
James and Pamela's suits
Aliona's elongated thong and Matt's satin shirt.

All in all, it was a real strange mixture of either too much colour or not enough last night.

My boyfriend has actually started watching Strictly now, and I suspect it's all down to wardrobe.

Agree over Aliona's dress, shorter at the back compared to the front always looks nasty IMHO. Add to that all the complicated neckline & it was just too messy. Matt looked fine though, I do like to see the Male in all black for the Rumba.

Katya's dress looked skirt heavy.

The BoD's dress seemed to make her look very thick round the middle although the BoD itself seemed well supported for once.

Liked Kara's dress which stretched well without riding up. Does seem to be a theme this year for cut out waists with a wide band around.

Michelle's dress worked and hid her skinny arms nicely.

Aliona's dress was tacky.

I loved Patsy's dress.
