Couture Contest - Entries and Voting

First of all, I just want to say how amazing everyone's entries were this year! We put you to the test, restricting you to only lace, and you really delivered the beautiful, delicate outfits we were looking for.

I hope everyone had a lot of fun working on their outfits. Scroll on down to take a look at all the incredible entries we had (and don't forget to look at all 3 pages!). While you're enjoying our members' hard work, keep in mind the following three questions:

1. Which outfit displayed the most technical ability and skill?
2. Which outfit was most creative in their use of lace?
3. Which outfit has the most original concept?

Once you feel like you've made your decisions, click HERE to vote! (Voting has ended)

And once you're done voting, check out our Just For Fun entries as well!

Each entry can only receive one vote from each voter, so please choose a different entry for each question. If you vote for the same entry multiple times, all of your votes for that entry will be thrown out. Contestants are allowed to vote for themselves.

For each question, enter the Post # of the entry you wish to vote for. There is no entry #1, entries start with Post #2. You can find the Post # on the bottom right side of the post, just above the options to Quote and Reply.
