When a bias cut slip dress is only the warmup act, you know Patrick and Esme mean business. Sticking with the elegant, sultry theme, Caz, Orla and Yasmin will then set about making garments out of sheer fabric.

The grand finale has as much to do with wizardry as embroidery, trompe l’oeil being the art of illusion, creating portraits so lifelike the canvas all-but melts away. Each of the Great British Sewing Bee finalists will get one lucky friend or family member looking fit for the runway.

The season 11 finale also doubles up as Sara Pascoe's farewell episode, with Alma's Not Normal's Sophie Willan set to replace her for the upcoming Christmas special and beyond.
