Overview

• The series premiere challenged contestants to sew a tie-front blouse, transform a circle skirt and create a pleated dress in the made-to-measure round.
• Glendora completed the first two tasks but fell ill before judging of the transformation challenge and the final assignment, leading judges to spare all contestants in week one.
• Pascoe resumed her regular hosting role alongside judges Esme Young and Patrick Grant for the first full episode since her maternity leave, replacing Kiell Smith-Bynoe from series 10.
• Viewers voiced frustration over pre-show preview clips that revealed substantial footage of the challenges before the broadcast began.
• Upcoming episodes will feature themed weeks such as Korea Week with guest judge Eudon Choi and a 1920s era challenge to test the sewers’ period-style skills.
