The contest, hosted by Joe Lycett, reaches its final stage as the last three contestants take on a trio of celebration wear challenges before the winner is announced. Judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young start by challenging the sewers to make a little boys kilt without a pattern. In the Transformation Challenge, they each attempt to turn party dresses into fun outfits fit to wear at a carnival, before finally creating unique gowns using luxury fabric in the Made to Measure challenge. At the end of the three challenges, one of the competitors is crowned this year's winner.

The second of two festive shows sees The Vivienne, Lesley Joseph, Sabrina Grant and Sally Phillips competing to show off their dress-making skills. Judges Patrick Grant and Esme Young ask them to make a child's party skirt and then turn old clothes into a recognisable pantomime character in the transformation challenge. They then create a made-to-measure party dress that evokes memories of a particular New Year's Eve - with surprising results.
