Standout creations include a reflective caged bustier mini dress, a frock made entirely of black lace and appliqué poppies and a 1950s inspired outfit compete with red pencil skirt, bra-style crop top and lace parasol.

Other outfits included a green fairy dress with wings made of roses, a playful paper dress made of books and an outfit which resembled an ivy-decorated witch.
The girls looked as stunning as ever as they gave one final push in the hope of being crowned this year's Miss England.

    Those in the running for the Miss England title this year include Louise Bakewell, 19, from Somerset.
    The glamorous competition is a far cry from her usual everyday life training in medicine along side working as a cattle farmer on her parents' farm and trainee mechanic.
    Another hopeful is Jade Power, 19, from East Sussex who used to be bullied at school for being 'tall and ugly'.

    On Friday the girls turned out looking glamorous during a day out in the Devon town where they embarked on a gruelling boot camp - including boxing, squats and running - and visited a miniature village.
    All hoping to set sail to the Miss World final in Indonesia, the girls kitted themselves out in sparkling tiaras rode as they the bus en route to the Babbacombe Model Village.
    Just hours away from finding out their fate, the finalists from accross the country waved to passers by on the bus and cheered for the cameras while running at boot camp.
    The grand prize includes being crowned with the title of Miss England, plus the all expenses paid trip to the Miss World final and a trip the island of Mauritius.
    'The contestants range in height and dress size and participate in challenges that test and develop their physical fitness, mental creativity, styling, interview skills, individual talents, model potential and social skills'
    They arrived in Torquay, Devon to compete for the coveted crown last Monday, where the final is being held as it is the home of last year's winner Charlotte Holmes.
    The models were given the opportunity to show off their figures as they hit the beach and posed on a yacht in the English Riviera to promote the competition.
    Charlotte has relished her year as the reigning title-holder as the role has given her the opportunity to travel the world as an ambassador for a number of charities.
    She also travelled to the Miss World final to represent England - as will this year's winner who will have the chance to take part in the beauty pageant in Indonesia.

    But Charlotte warned the Miss England wannabes that there's more to the role than just 'parading around in swimwear or a glamorous gown.'
    She said earlier this year when the hunt for the 2013 finalists was launched: 'The contestants, who range in both height and dress size, are required to take part in a series of enduring challenges during the four day final, aimed at testing and developing their physical fitness, mental creativity, styling, interview skills, individual talents, model potential and social skills.'
