(Lauren laughing)
- No way! - It's the finale! Today we're making wedding dresses! - [Lauren] The toughest challenge yet. - I just want to be a beautiful bride. - Fun. - [Eugene] I know what things look pretty, but I don't know how to make
the pretty make them happen. - This is my day.
- Yes. - Wow.
- What? - This is the most epic challenge in "Without Instructions" history. - That who's gonna wear, us? We're gonna wear. - For me, unfortunately,
it is a wedding dress. (all laughing) - Say yes to the stress. - Say yes to the stress.
- Oh, wow. (dramatic music)
(Ned cheers) - Yeah! - [Keith] No! - [Eugene] Yeah, they're
gonna look terrible. (dramatic orchestral music) - [Announcer] The Try Guys
are back in the workshop for the thrilling finale
of "Without Instructions." - Fancy dress things. - [Announcer] Today will be
their most difficult task yet. Wedding dresses. - Where do dresses have seams? - [Announcer] Will their training carry them over the threshold? - Wow, this one's huge. It's way bigger than I ever dreamed. - [Announcer] Or will they
be gowning in their sorrows? - I'm already terrible at sewing cotton, let alone chiffon or satin. - [Announcer] Each designer
will have six hours to complete their dress and present it to our panel of judges. - Hi, I'm Lauren or LaurDIY. I am a DIY and women's lifestyle YouTuber. I also host a craft show on
HBO Max called "Craftopia." - My name is Roman and I am
a stylist turned designer. I'm always in something lacy
and I'm used to working with very delicate fabrics. People don't need to be perfect like specific clothing can be. - I'm Matthew Christopher. I'm a couture wedding gown designer. I've been designing
wedding gowns for 24 years. - I forgot that this
was the fashion episode. And so I am surrounded by
very fashionable judges and I have a Power Puff Girl shirt on. (men laughing) - I've been designing
wedding gowns since I was, I would say high school. I've designed gowns for
Megan Hilty, Kelly O'Hara, Kristin Chenoweth, Kathy
Najimy, Debra Messing, and Carli Lloyd. The difference between a
wedding gown and a normal gown is that it's a super emotional situation because it's that one day
where you get to wear something that you never get to wear in your life. Couture to me is really about
the work that goes into it. Hand stitching makes
the dress one of a kind. Brides look at every tiny detail. The finishings on the inside,
the finishings on the outside. Brides these days are looking for all different kinds of colors. These fabrics are super
difficult to work with. Nine months is a typical timeline for a Matthew Christopher wedding gown. No one makes a wedding dress alone. It takes many hands,
many hours, many months. The fact that you're
going to give the Try Guys six hours is an incredible feat. My advice is good luck. (dramatic music) - And this is the longest we have to work on any of our projects ever. - Six hours to make--
- Six hours. - A full wedding dress. - It took us five hours to make puppets. - So I think we should--
- One extra hour. - We should start now. - Okay.
- Yeah. - Let's go.
- Boy. I have to measure don't I? - You guys realize we are
making wedding gowns, right? - Yes.
- Yes. - What's the difference
between a dress and a gown? - How do we start? I've never even thought
about making a wedding dress. I couldn't imagine something
I'm less qualified to do. My strategy, though, is to
not try to make the sleekest, not try to make the fanciest, but to try to make the biggest, I want to be the bell of the ball. So we're gonna go with the yellow. I'm gonna look like a giant bell, like a bell in a hand bell choir. I would like a 10 foot diameter dress. I've seen fancy dresses. They have a really long train, right? They're really long, but
they're never really wide. I think I've got this one, 'cause nobody's making
a bigger dress than me. (dramatic music) - I have a fun shaped
body where my whole life I've been skinny, but I have these, these, these little chunky, I got
like real love handles. You can grab right onto me. People always are trying to lose weight, get into shape so that
they can fit their dresses. I say uh-uh, in fact, I
want you to be comfortable. Maybe put on a couple pounds. I want this to be the most
comfortable day of your life, which is why today I'm making
a fleece wedding dress. I want it to be like a Snuggy
that you can get married in. Look, I'm not gonna be able to compete with some hot couture
high fashion bullshit. I'm playing my own race. I can't really say that I know how to sew. I also don't know if
you can even sew fleece. - La la la la la la. - Ned's way too in his element today. This dude loves weddings. - La, weddings! - My name's Ned Fulmer
and I love two things. Weddings and my wife. - I love two things. I love weddings and "Lord of the Rings!" Today--
- I thought you were gonna say my Lord of the savior.
- What, no. - Ned's getting really
religious this season. - I've been to a lot of weddings, but one wedding I always
wished I could have gone to was the wedding between Arwen and Aragorn in "Lord of the Rings." So it's a "Lord of the
Rings," elven dress, with lots of beautiful like flower trails. And there's like a crown and
it's very flowy and free. And it's kind of like if
it were a little sluttier, you could wear it to Coachella. (gasps) I should get some ears. Can you get me elf ears?
- I'm all over it. - Yes. But, like, the good ones. - And we have to model our own dresses. So we're, we're designing them for our own body measurements. I really don't give a shit about weddings. The emotions and the way the bride felt and the way the groom looked at her and it makes me wanna vomit. What I like is the stress everyone has because I like executing
things under high pressure. So I'm actually gonna go for
a traditional princess gown, but I'm doing a Gothic version, really high fashion, a lot
of volume, but all black. Feels like treating the
wedding also like a funeral because it's the death
of your single life. (upbeat music) - [Announcer] First, the
designers have to figure out where to even start. - I don't know what I'm doing. - Let's just see what it looks like if I start covering her in tulle. - Illustrating is the first
step of making a gown. This is a gown called the Brie. And what I'm gonna do is
use this beautiful lace. I'm gonna work off of this detail 'cause it's an inspiration. - Why am I starting with drawing? Is no one else starting with drawing? Yeah, Eugene started with, I'm doing it 'cause Eugene's doing it. - I didn't know what my
design was coming in, I just knew I wanted to do a
sort of Gothic couture bride, but I also want to kind of pull
from some Asian influences. So I'm just sort of playing
with design right now. But I want to be the most
elegant gothic bride in Asia. Eugene can sketch, but he cannot sew. The drawings always look
better than the dress. - And the loop de loops on the side. Bam, loop de loops, touch of
romance and elven mystery. - [Woman] That bride
looks slightly jacked. - Well, yeah, it's me. Duh, #gains. - So after the illustration process, this goes to the pattern
team and we make a pattern for the dress itself. Since the pattern team is not here, we're gonna do a little
bit of draping today. - So tulle goes under the
dress to make it bigger. To proof it out. I know I'm covered in glitter. The first fabric I touched
was glitter apparently. - So draping a gown is
about taking the fabric and you can work off the form itself. You can work off a person also. - [Keith] Okay, I'm six feet, right? Six foot three. So we'll just keep folding it onto myself. - Keith!
- Yeah? - Oh, that's good. I think I'm gonna take one of
those hoop skirts towards too. Just to help me build on top of. Ding dong! Bong!
(bell rings) - [Woman] Five hours, five minutes. - Oh, that's a lot of time. - What we're doing here
is we're making a pattern. Here's the natural waist. So I'm marking where
that natural waist is. - Boy, does it not feel good
to be cutting actual fabric? - Do not start with your final fabric. Use something that's a
little more disposable so that we can mark everything before you have to use your real fabric. - Well, I don't like
this material as much. So why don't I play with it first. - Going with a, mainly like a satin skirt. This is probably totally wrong,
but I'm not a math person so I don't wanna make full measurements. - I wonder if this is more
frustrating for you, Eugene, because you do actually have taste. - Oh, this is incredibly frustrating. That's why when you
watch this footage back, I probably just look like I'm
about to have a conniption. Literally, the past 30
minutes, I was standing here staring at chiffon
'cause everything I did, I was like, mm, that's gonna be too hard. That's gonna be impossible. I don't actually understand dress form. But I think if I make
something solid at the bottom, I can like attach things. I honestly think the skirts
are gonna be way easier than the bodices. I think that's gonna be where people are gonna mess up a lot. - [Zach] What's a bodice? - This up.
- Oh. Chest, chest part.
- Not skirt. - How does one make a bodice? - When you're making a pattern, you want to make sure that
you're using different components and different sections. You cannot do this drape
in one piece of fabric. - I'm making a one piece right now. And it's not quite what I
was going for, but you know, wrinkles are the windows to the soul. - You want to make sure
that you drap the front and the back of the bodice separately. - Making it bigger and bigger and bigger. - Wow, Keith, I mean
so far, it's stunning. - [Keith] It looks like one of those fashionable poof dresses
all the ladies wear. - Are you just stacking tulle? - Uh-huh.
- On a hoop skirt? - Uh-huh.
(Eugene laughs) - If you're a newbie at the situation, you cannot make a dress outta two panels unless you're doing something completely fashionable and cool, okay? - You know, to create a fitted top, it has to be more than one piece. So it's like multiple
pieces sewn together. - So you just said to create a fitted top, you need more than one piece. - You're gonna drape a center front panel and a side front panel
and then a side back panel and then a center back panel. - I'm redoing my bodice
in multiple pieces. - I know the vision for the dress, I just have no idea how to execute it. But I think I found a solution. I'm gonna use this really thin chiffon to create the shape I want. And then I'm going to
anchor it to a waistband. Feels so weird using
yourself as a mannequin, but I want this to fit
like right to my body. I'm gonna make this dress a lot more revealing than I thought. - This does look terrible. How'd that shape come about? I'm getting married soon, eventually, it is actually happening, we're planning. You'd think like, oh, Zach,
you're getting married, you should know this, uh-uh. Maggie's not letting me see anything. I'm totally ignorant
about this out of love. I was going for a hot V-neck. Supposed to go that way. Okay, now I know you go that way. Is it a problem that this
material's see through, therefore you're gonna
be able to see my boobs. - 'Cause what is your concept, Zach? - My concept is comfort
and also something. I just want something. I just, I'm gonna go get more caffeine. - [Woman] Okay, three hours, 12 minutes. - Yeah, okay, I'm fuh. - Why is this so big? I remember cutting these things. You were there. I cut so many things and now
I have them and they're uncut. (crew members laughing)
What is happening? I'm going crazy. We saw it. I remember cutting these things right? I would drape it over my
body, wad it up, and cut it. So how does this exist? What kind of magic and this, it's connected to something
else on the other side. I'm flabbergasted. What, how? Is there a prank? Is this a prank? You might be thinking
I'm referencing Belle from "Beauty and the Beast"
'cause it's yellow, but I'm not. It's not that kind of Belle. - Is this a rectangle?
- I don't read. - All right, I just took out
this material from my bodice. Why does this not look good? Somehow this looks even worse. - The seam allowance is one of the most important parts of having
the dress fit correctly. - So something gets wrinkly around here. (paper crinkles) So does that mean it's
actually three pieces? - I used a red marker to mark where the seam is gonna be seen. We have about an inch seam allowance. So when you bring the back pattern piece, you're gonna attach that seam allowance and you're gonna sew through it. - How is it even worse? - If you do not have a
seam allowance on a dress, we're gonna have a real problem. 'Cause we do say sometimes
you can't water it and make it grow. - (groans) Put me on a
sailboat, ship me out to sea. - If you have like an eighth of an inch, even a quarter of an inch
and you're trying to fit a bodice really tight, it's
gonna pull, it's gonna rip. It depends on the fabric itself. - A single strip of fabric would be better than whatever garbage I just put together. Maybe I can use a corset. Dunno if this looks good either. Keith.
- I don't know how to help. I don't know if we get it on you if we'll ever get it off you. - Everything I do looks bad. I just want the wedding to be perfect. - [Woman] You are such a dramatic bride. - You know what, my dudes? (bleeps) it, we're just
gonna start sewing. Just grip it and rip it. - [Woman] Two hours, 40 minutes. - Don't be afraid to use a sewing machine. It's a big garment. The presser foot actually
brings down the needle and puts weight on the fabric. This is industrial, so
it can go pretty fast. (Zach laughs) - Look at me go. Look at me, oh, this is so
much easier than hot glue. - So, I really was staring
at the fabric for a long time trying to figure out the
way it wanted to work. So I'm trying to work with
the strengths of the chiffon. So I'm bunching it and sewing
together the top strap, I sort of created this stitch
in the chiffon to bunch it. And that'll end up being
here for the shoulder strap. - This is crazy to sew. - All right, done with
my zipper and wait, why? How did I sew my dress to the machine? - So the machine just doesn't want to gobble up this much fabric. We're gonna go in and hand
sew each layer one at a time. - All right, how much time do we have? - [Woman] One hour, 12 minutes. - Okay. - So if you're sewing for the first time, try to find what's gonna work and you should wear the dress, the dress should not wear you. - I think I did it, kinda sorta. - (laughs) Zach, Zach! - Maybe it's just a shawl. A series of shawls. Oh, like the JLo. This is freaking hot. - Whoa. That is a smoke show look. - Goes up my butt hole. Like a, like a one piece. - You have something
that's completely sheer, you wanna make sure that
you're covering it up with something that's
enough to cover the tidbits. - I assume that you need to cover nipples in order to successfully call
yourself a wedding dress. - [Keith] It is like the
wedding tradition I hate, where they simulate cunnilingus. - What was that? - So it's this old tradition--
- Uh-huh. - Where the groom crawls under the bride's dress for some reason, and with his teeth removes her garter. At which point he then takes the garter and sling shots it into the crowd, to the rest of the men who then own it. - Straight people are crazy. - One hour.
- One hour left? - The bodice and the skirt
are totally different, but they're melted together
with this gorgeous lace. - The wedding's in an hour, no offense.
- In an hour. My corset is not fitting. - I have a bodice now-ish, but now I have to sew
the skirt to the bodice. It all still makes sense in my mind, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna be able to get all my embellishments on in time. God, I hope I have enough fabric for this. - I know you think we need
arms, but where will they go? - Too much time just fussing around. The next part of this video, I gotta just grip it and rip it. - 45 Minutes.
- Goddammit. - Keith?
- Yes? - Where'd you go? - [Keith] I'm in the dress. - I, I seamed the backs
of the skirt as full. I was thinking of doing a bow, adding lace across the dress as well. I had to resort to a stitch gun. (gun clicks)
(beeps) Shit, oh, God. - What happened?
- I shoved that needle under my fingernails.
- Ooh. - I look like a wino mom. I look like-- - You look like shop at Chico's. - Y'all ever sewn lace? I'm gonna try to sew lace. - I'm experimenting
with a little, you know, touch of green for the belt moment. - 30 minutes left, boys. - It's probably a little late in the game to be testing out different
fabrics, but here we. - I've created a lace cape train. So I'm actually gonna velcro so it's removable for the bride. She could just rip it off if she doesn't wanna wear the cape. - Keith?
- That's fun. I'm making sleeves to Rachel's
delight and my dismay. - I think I'm just gonna
maybe do a tulle band and not do the bow so I
can cover up this muzzling. Whew, this is so complicated, Not my favorite thing,
but we're gonna hand sew. I feel like a real designer right now. - [Woman] Final five. - Just breathe. - [Woman] Are you worried about Ned? - Look, we always end up pulling something outta the end of these videos. - [Keith] Yeah, we always make it happen. - God, this is so hard. This is so hard. I've never struggled with
anything so hard in my life. The corset wasn't working. It wasn't fitting on me. I went back to the beginning, which was my single
bando kind of wraparound. I attached the neck piece, I
have these little arm pieces. Now I'm trying to connect
my skirt to my dress. - Cut it and start ripping it apart. Shove your arm in. Yeah, that's about the
size of my arm, huh? It's not a sleeve, it's more of a hole. - [Zach] It is so deeply crushing to have wasted all this time on the top, but it feels so good to
have something perfect. - Oh my God.
- What? - [Eugene] This is the exact
right length for this skirt. - Just grip and rip it, baby. - [Zach] You have said that so many times. - [Eugene] Ned, you got it? - Is that on my waistband? Oh my God. - Oh my God.
- Oh my God. - Oh my God. - My skirt is connected to my bust. - [Woman] Five, four, three, two, one, hands up. Hands up, hands up. - Guys, it's been a wonderful season. Let's get judged. (dramatic music) - Today, we'll be judging
on creativity, construction, and is it a wedding dress? - I'm looking for construction. Did we use lace? What's the build like? And did we go over the
top or did we go minimal or did we go bride? - I know I'm gonna be able
to tell that you had fun with the process, but I
want to see that you cared. - What are the do's and don'ts
of wedding dress design? And like what makes a wedding
dress not a regular dress? - Oh, white. (all laughing)
- White dress. - Should be white.
- Should be white. I am an aspiring wedding gown wearer and I'm here to be excited. - We're here to excite you. - Excite me. (whimsical music) - [Zach] For the girl who
can't decide if she's too hot or too cold, I proudly present
a dress of fire and ice. Judges, I do. (Keith laughs)
- Wow. - Oh my God.
- Okay, okay, okay. - [Zach] Neither did anyone. - The flower, the flower
nippies, the flower nippies, that's all, it's all I'm looking at. The chest hair is a great touch. - Thank you. I always want to be cozy. So I have a nice Sherpa fleece bottom over a nice hoop skirt. And then on top, I wanted
to show off this figure. I ain't been working out for nothing. - [Roman] I mean, I, I love
it. I love it, actually. - And a train chugga, chugga, chugga choo. - Wow.
- A train, I'm so glad. Wait, we have a hoop skirt going on. Do we have a hoop skirt?
- There's a hoop skirt. - Really?
- Yeah. You wanna see it?
- Yeah. - You wanna, you wanna
peek under my carriage? - I want to see what's going on. - Boom.
- Wow! Wait a minute, the construction,
do you mind if I look? - Go ahead. You're gonna see my dick.
- Wow, that is-- (all laughing) - Wow. There is hand stitching, good job. - Thank you.
- So I understand you could not wear heels.
- Right. - But you could at least have-- - Shoes?
- Shoes on. (all laughing)
- You look nice. Can we just see this
without the flower nippies? Can those come off? - They come right off. - Just like real nipples.
- Oh. - [Lauren] This already is so much better. - Yeah.
- I like it. I would've put the flowers on the inside and had a subtle detail. Look how it's almost couture-esque. - It is. You could actually, I think a straight-across strapless
would've been good too. - Mm-hm.
- It's a metaphor. - I actually love the top half. Even though it's just tied, I feel like that style of shirt is like, honestly, really trendy right now. - Like even looking at
it now I'm already, like, I sort of want a tulle gown
with flowers underneath. - All the way through--
- I'm inspired for my gowns. - I think that actually,
the creativity was trying to get this skirt together. That wasn't easy idea.
- The key word is try. How much time did you get? - Six hours.
- Six hours? - And this is what you came up with? - I know, pretty impressive. - I hate this middle section. Like I like this and I like this. It's like this part here
does not fit whatsoever. And it's flopping down. - [Roman] I don't like the bottom. - I hate the bottom.
- The whole bottom. - The whole bottom.
- Whole bottom. - [Roman] You're just
making it worse and worse. - This looks like what I walk around in when the AC is too high in my house. When I have like a T-shirt on and I do the blanket skirt to walk around, to bounce it out, but mine looks better. - I've seen you at home. I'm just kidding.
(all laughing) Judges, is it a wedding dress? (dramatic music) - For me, unfortunately,
it is a wedding dress. (Zach and Ned laughing)
(Zach claps) - That's the best
phrasing I've ever heard. - I think it's a wedding dress. - We might have two
different dresses going on. - Mm.
- A little prom up top and a little wedding down here. I'm saying it's not a wedding dress. (Zach sighs)
(Lauren squeals) I'm so sorry. - Yeah, I get it.
(dramatic music) - [Ned] You've heard
of "Lord of the Rings," How about the lord of this dress? (all laughing) It is one dress to rule them all. Please open your eyes. (Lauren laughs)
- Wow! - Oh my God. Ned!
- Wow. - Wow, Ned, this is truly so impressive. - No, you did really well.
- It hugs your girlish figure. - You're on point.
- Thank you. - This season, on point. - This season. So I'm a big fan of "Lord of the Rings." Love elves. Elves are young forever
and they're bonded forever. The two things every
wedding hopes it should be. - The pointed tops of
the bodice is so nice. - [Matthew] The bodice and
the neckline technique, I mean, it's great. That is not easy. - The billowy sleeves are really cute. I almost wish they were like a little, like a little more fabric.
- Full. - Yeah, they could be a little fuller. I love the green. It complements your eyes. The raw edge is just sort
of getting me, but overall, I'm impressed. - So the reason it's
a belt and not sewn in is 'cause I wanted it to be
able to hold a sword, actually. - That would've been perfect. - Fit a combo sword belt. We couldn't get a sword in
time, but that was the idea, that it's like you got
a little sword here. - I have a sword at my house. I didn't know you needed a sword. - [Ned] Oh, yeah. - I also have a sword at my house. - [Roman] You have swords at your house? - You don't have a sword, Ned?
- Loser. - I guess I want a sword.
- Good job, Ned. The seaming here, like you
did well, like really well. - [Roman] And it looks comfortable. It looks like you can move in it. - Yeah.
- It looks like you feel-- - I could dance in this, I
could ride a horse in this. - I could do without these
pieces of lace coming down. - Just snip 'em off. - So we know that you
wanted the green belt to tie in with the theme. I think, personally, I
would love to not have that. I feel like it needs one more,
One more layer of lining. Are you, are you wearing black boxers? - I am, yeah. - Yeah, okay.
- Okay. - [Matthew] We did good on the back here. - [Lauren] This little
situation, though, here is not. - Yeah.
- It's completely unfit in the back.
- But you did an invisible zipper and they're not easy. - Yeah, wait, is the zipper inside out? No, no.
- No. (overlapping chattering) - It's got a little tail sometimes. - [Ned] It was tough and
that's why I'm proud of it. (Zach laughs) - [Lauren] It's not the
shape or design for me, but it was so well executed.
- Agree. - Judges, is it a wedding dress? (drum rolling) - Absolutely.
- 100%. - Yes. - Thank you, judges. (dramatic music) - [Eugene] Judges, weddings
are basically funerals for your single life. So I gotta say one thing. Why I gotta be white? - Oh (bleeps). - [Eugene] Feast your eyes. - Wow.
- Yes! Yes!
- Shut 'em up. (dramatic music) Wow.
(hands clapping) - Wow, yeah, the pleating is amazing. - I know.
- I mean, the creativity behind
this, I mean this just, this is the most you dress
that I could have ever imagined and dreamed up for you and
you brought it to life. Oh, it's a cape moment.
- Do you need to fluff? (Lauren screams)
- Wait the-- - Is this a drape cape?
- You are on trend! - Yes.
- Oh my God. - [Roman] On the cover of Modern Bride. - I'm obsessed.
- New trend. - I don't really know how to sew, so, I started just feeling the material. I realized that it was
rouging, so I just sewed it, crinkled and pleated it as
I put it in the machine, then I attached at the waistband. - I mean, no, it looks incredible. - And the cowl back is amazing. - [Lauren] Yeah, it's amazing. - [Matthew] It's a really deep cowl back. Did anybody see the head piece? - Yes.
- Look at the head piece. I love it, it comes into a crown point. I love it.
- I wrapped a Tiara in lace. - I love it.
- Wow. - The detail of the neckline, where it comes up over the
bust and then the sheer, the sheer lace is beautiful. I'm super impressed. I love it and I have to say, black is actually happening right now. - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- Girls are asking for black wedding gowns. - Well, we know I live for
silk, satin, chiffon, and lace. I'm happy that you decided
to not have a white gown. I'll let some things slide. It's very you. And the detail of this
gown, I'm just like... I love it. The pleats are amazing. I love the lace underneath of the chiffon. You can see the lace detail through it. The train is beautiful. I love the different textures. Yeah, I think, I think it's great. Yeah.
- Stunning. - Bomb.
- Absolutely stunning. - Bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb.
- And look at how it looks-- - The back detail.
- Just like-- - Oh, I know, even just
like the silhouette. - Beautiful.
- Yeah. - You honestly look like
you're gonna be my husband. Like we're getting married.
- See, see, I agree. - Oh my God, yeah. - Oh, we gotta get a picture. - Judges. (drum rolling) Is it a wedding dress? - Yeah. I was like the advocate
for it having to be white, but this is, I couldn't imagine you in any other dress at your wedding. - It's great, it's beautifully done. It's a wedding dress.
- I want to wear it. So, yeah, yeah, it's a wedding dress. - Come stand by me real quick. - Yeah, get a shot.
- Oh, this is good. This is good.
- Look at the happy couple. - Oh, yes.
- Oh my God. - Look how the lace pulls it together. Don't you love it? Wow.
- Oh my God. Zach, get the fuck out of the way! (dramatic music) - [Keith] Ding dong! Are those wedding bells I hear? No, that's wedding bell you hear. I am the wedding bell of the ball. Open your eyes. (Lauren laughs)
- No way! (dramatic music) - Are those bananas? - I can't.
- Those are actually bananas. (Matthew and Lauren laughing) - That's awesome, oh my God. - Oh my God.
- Totally unexpected. - Ding dong. When I think weddings, I think those church bells ringing. The couple running out, the
glee, the merriment, the joy. I wanted to bring joy into a dress. I wanted to make you look at me and think, wow, that's a bell. Ding dong.
(people laughing) - I kind of feel like
you're a wedding accessory and not the bride. - That's fucking rude, bitch. (all laughing) This is my day! - There's the bride!
- 16 months! 16 months of planning every perfect moment and that's the first thing
you say to me, a bride? Can't wait for your wedding. - [Lauren] How do you feel about the fit? - Honestly, the time that
you put into the neckline, that's important, there was some stitching and all that stuff, there was sewing. The fit, it's fine. You can do whatever you
want under under there. - [Roman] Just a lot of
fabric tucked in a hoop skirt. - Ding dong.
(men laughing) Ding dong. - Okay, the problem is is
you could have just tucked it and it would have looked exactly the same. - That's not true. If
it was just tucked in, it would absolutely be falling apart because I tried just tucking it in. (all laughing)
- Okay. - It has to be sewn. - Even if you had done like
a tiny little tube top, and then it came out underneath the bust-- - As a bell.
- As a bell. - Yeah, I just feel like
it just swallows you up in not the right way.
- I like being gobbled. I want to be gobbled up like a banana. - Oh my God!
- Go for it. - Mm.
- Ew, oh my God! - I was smelling the banana. - I definitely think it brings
joy and laughter, correct? - You've never been to a funny wedding. Maybe that shows something
about your friends. - I'm not giving you any
creativity, like anything. I don't, I, I feel like you
found an easy thing to do. - It's not a creative idea and it's not a creative execution. - Why? Articulate it. What don't you like? What's not creative, articulate it. - [Roman] The bottom. Imagine if he would've did a straight cut with all the fabric and it was just nice and clean on the bottom. - It just feels like a
half flushed out idea that was a little lazy. - I'd like a compliment. (all laughing) - [Woman] Are there any
compliments or questions? - Just one. - Keith, I like the way it
looks when you're seated. It looks--
- There's a shape to it. - I'm a delicate bell. - I actually like how
big the circumference is. I just wish that you had given it more than just one bell shape. Like even if you had just like a little, a little tight little corset or bandeau. - I just wanted to make it a bell. - So when we do the bell challenge video, we'll have the--
- You think we'll do one of those? Do you think we will?
- We'll have the blueprint for that one. You're thinking of--
- But, you know, even a bell has shape.
(Matthew laughs) - Not much.
- Yeah, I guess. - Do you think it's a wedding dress? (dramatic piano music) - No, sweetheart.
- I'm like ask somebody else. - No, sweetheart. - What would you call it? - Fun, fun.
- A bell. - Funny and fun and a bell?
- It's a bell. - It's a bell.
- It's funny. - It's a bell.
- It's funny and fun and a bell.
- Keith, you wanted to make a bell and you made a bell. - Okay, this is the kind
of energy I'm looking for. - Yeah, you wanted to make
a bell and you made a bell. - A beautiful bell, a sparkly bell. - You made us laugh a lot. - That's the joy I hope
to bring into my marriage. - Would a banana make you feel better? - [Keith] Yeah. - Wow, great catch!
- Great toss. - The sound also. (dramatic music) - Welcome, brides. Welcome back to the judging
portion of the finale. The finale episode. - This was a huge challenge. Six hours to make a dress, that is wild. Wow, I'm just blown away
by how much work you did and where you are right now. Standing here in your gowns. - Wow.
- Wow. - Thank you.
- Thank you. - We commend all of your hard work. Your blood, sweat, and tears.
- Yeah. And in fourth place,
(dramatic music) we've got of the bell. (man gasps) - What a world.
(all laughing) What a world. What a world. - Quick, we can revive her with banana. - Hit me with that nanner!
(whimsical music) - Wow, nice catch again.
- Wow. - Good catch, good catch.
- Yeah! - You can never take this away from me. - It's your victory banana. - Wow.
- It's the eye contact. - Third place is Zach.
(dramatic music) - What the fuck is that?
(all laughing) This is not how you make the show! You do, you say and
the dress that had this and had this and you do some misdirection. - But I gotta tell ya--
- I think this is all perfect footage and we should just keep rolling with this moment. - What the fuck is going on?! (dramatic music) - So in first place, it was actually really hard
for us to pick between you two. I had my reasons to go one way. They had their reasons to go other ways. And I think that both of
you did an amazing job in construction of the gowns. I literally want both of these dresses. - All four of these dresses, wow. - All, I appreciate the pleating. 100%, it's beautiful. The sleeves are my
favorite part of this gown. - I was thoroughly impressed.
- Same. So in first place for this challenge, the winner is
(dramatic music) Eugene. - Wow.
(light music) - Great job.
- Wow. - Dark darkness reigns. - I loved everything about it.
- I got second place every episode, honestly,
I'm pretty proud of it. - Ned, throughout this series, we have been so impressed with
your ability to shine bright, but not the brightest in every episode. (all laughing)
- Thank you. I love that for me. - Well, this has been our season
of "Without Instructions." What other things should
we try to craft together without any guide? Thanks so much to Lauren
for being our judge for all of our episodes and thanks to today's judges as well. Make sure that when you have your wedding, you wear what makes you joyful. Ding dong. Bye. (Zach grunts)
What's happening? - I know, what is this?
- What's happening? - I feel like you're gonna
like show nut by accident. - Won't be by accident (upbeat music) (dramatic music) - In three years, when there's
an actual dress like this on a famous celebrity's wedding, I need a handwritten apology. (Ned laughs) From you and you. Not you, you've been fairly nice. Ding dong.
This was a great one! The editing made it seem like Ned’s dress would be rags so I loved the surprise at the end of his cohesive gown
I absolutely love Eugene and Ned's dresses. They had ideas, and they went for them, and they worked.
I guess angry Keith has ruffled so many feathers that they need to put disclaimers in when he gets a little spicy? I'm glad they've done away with that persona for the most part but I don't think this would count as angry Keith... more like bitchy Keith, whom I can get on board with.
This is the second time that Ned and Eugene went head to head in dresses. I think Eugene deserved the win here, but I still think Ned should have won that other dress competition!
Fair play to Ned he brought it. Keith’s bridezilla vibe was hysterical.
This was such a fun episode and the judging panel were great together. I really hope they stick to this format of a month of WI in the summer and a month of WAR in the winter.
My emerald green dress that I wore for my wedding strongly disagrees with the judge saying white makes a wedding dress!
I loved this ep, such a good season finale! (Especially loved Keith's banana bit at the end).
Ned surprised me! I wasn't expecting that from him, but I'm impressed.
Also....classic Keith. I don't know what I expected, but....it was a Keith creation.
