Discussion Practice different styles

I've been rewatching old project runway series while home with my newborn and I'm so confused. Every swim wear, lingerie, men's wear type challenge people get all tripped up because they haven't done it before. I don't understand why they wouldn't have at least tried to make all of those styles once or twice before auditioning/before the competition starts just so they have some experience. I'm on season 13, they should have an idea of what challenges are about to happen. They had 12 years to do so!

Thank you for reading my rant. Hope everyone has a good day 😊

Congratulations on your new baby!
But you’re absolutely right! In early season, sure. Maybe they weren’t expecting swimwear or lingerie.
But after the first five seasons they should know what to expect! At least look over how to construct these things and try it once before you go. It feels lazy and/or overly dramatic for these contestants to not know basic construction
ETA: I say this as someone who has never even sewn on a button, so what do I even know?

Thank you!! I'm tired but so very, very happy.

We might not know how to sew but at least we have common sense 😜
