designated superintendent by entry deadline. The commentary should include information
on the project being modeled at district contest. If a member modeled more than one
project at the county level, the commentary should be revised to feature the project moving
onto the district level.
4. Agents, or one designee, will be responsible for checking in all garments from a county.
Garments will be checked in during registration on the first day and construction judging
will follow. The appearance judging is in the afternoon. All garments must have a tag
with the 4-H’ers name, age division (Novice or Junior), and the project area. Only the
garment being judged is to be turned in to the contest superintendent. All other accessories
and garments will not be accepted.
5. It is strongly encouraged that a copy of a pattern guide be included with any garment
constructed from a store bought pattern. The member is asked to make a copy of the
pattern guide and turn the copy in with the garment for construction judging. Pattern
pieces of whole patterns will not be accepted.
6. If a garment is made by a 4-H’er for another person, that person will be asked to model the
garment in the appearance judging and the style show.
7. Construction Judging: Judges will be provided with the current 4-H Clothing Project
Guidelines as well as the current clothing project books. The judges will be asked to judge
the item based on the instructions given in the project book, acceptable sewing techniques
and/or the commercial pattern guide for that garment.
8. Appearance Judging: Clothing projects will be available for pickup for appearance judging
once all of the construction judging is complete. Contestants will be judged on a first
come first served basis during the allotted time. Any contestant needing to move onto
another contest are asked to visit with the superintendents upon arrival at the appearance
judging.
9. Rehearsal will be one hour prior to the fashion show. Awards will be given out during the
actual show.

WRITING 4-H FASHION REVUE COMMENTARY
The 4-H Fashion Revue commentary presents the 4-H’er and his or her project to the audience. The commentary should introduce the 4-H’er, describe special garment features for the audience to notice, and may highlight additional personal information about the 4-H’er and the project. A commentary's introduction lets the4-H’er know when to come on stage and the conclusion gives the 4-H’er the signal to leave the stage. 4-H Fashion Revue commentaries should be no longer than 90 seconds (about 200 words). This gives the model times to come on the stage, make two or three turns, and then exit. Read aloud and time the commentary to be sure it takes 60–90 seconds. (Time may vary at a county activity.)
When writing your 4-H Fashion Revue commen-tary, consider the following ideas:
• A lead statement introduces the model by name and town/county or club name.
• Review the pattern envelope for a description of the garment. These descriptions can give you many ideas. Tell about details that the audience might miss. Stating the obvious bores the listener.
• Discuss what the 4-H’er learned in completing the project.
• Tell how this garment fits into the model's total wardrobe.
• Discuss any original techniques used in the construction of the garment.
• Tell something about the 4-H’er—background and special interests.
• Use statements that carry out the Fashion Re-vue theme, if one is used.

Examples of Fashion Revue Commentaries
Won’t Jon Adams, from Homestyle 4-H Club in Richland, be proud on the first day of school, wearing his new colorful shorts and T-shirt out-fit? This is Jon’s first clothing project. Besides sewing, Jon is active in tennis, baseball, and choir. Jon learned how to keep his eyes on the sewing machine needle so he could sew straight. Jon says that it is fun to wear this outfit, but that is is even more fun to tell people he made it all by himself! Great Job, Jon!
This rayon challis dress is just right for dress-up days at school and other special occasions. Maria Cruz, from Spokane, chose this forest green fab-ric because she wants to wear the dress year-round. Notice the lace-tucked edges on the bod-ice. One of Maria’s first learning experiences from this project was matching fabric, lace, and thread. She said it was difficult. The time she spent looking for just the right colors and textures sure paid off! Maria, you have a beautiful outfit—wear it with pride!
