Overall Exhibit Guidelines:

All garments and outfits modeled in Fashion Revue, except consumer clothing
entries, must have been constructed by the 4-H member modeling that same garment or outfit. Youth
qualifying to exhibit the same garment or outfit in Indiana State Fair Sewing and Fashion Revue must
choose which project they wish to participate as one cannot exhibit the same garment or outfit in both
projects at state fair.


DEFINITION OF AN OUTFIT:

An outfit is a garment or garments that when put together make a
complete look - such as one or two piece dress, or one or two piece pant suit, or a three piece
combination, such as pants, vest, and blouse or shirt.


Judges evaluating exhibits should recognize individual differences and creativity, therefore using
information in this document as a guide rather than a requirement.

 

Fashion Revue Guidelines

 

 

Model the garment or outfit constructed for the sewing project. Accessories may be purchased or selected
from what you currently have.

Informal or Casual Wear: A complete outfit of 1 or 2 pieces suitable for school, weekend, or casual,
informal activities. In this category, a complete outfit is defined as a garment or garments that when put
together make a complete look - such as one or two piece dress, or one or two piece pant suit, or a
combination, such as pants, vest, blouse or shirt.


Dress Up: This is suitable for special, church, or social occasions that are not considered to be formal.
It may be an outfit of one or more pieces with or without its own costume coat or jacket (lined or unlined).
This is not an outfit that would be worn to school, weekend, or casual, informal activities.


Free Choice: A complete outfit comprised of garments that do not fit in the other classifications. A
complete outfit is defined as a garment or garments that when put together make a complete look -
such as one or two piece dress, or one or two piece pant suit, or a three piece combination, such
as pants, vest, and blouse or shirt. Individual garment examples include: tennis wear, swim wear,
athletic or sportswear, lounge wear, riding habits, historic, dance, theatrical, or international costumes, capes, and unlined coats.


Suit or Coat: The suit consists of two pieces including a skirt or pants and its own lined jacket. It is not
a dress with jacket as in "dress up wear". The coat is a separate lined coat. It will be judged separately
as a coat with its own accessories.


Separates: Consists of three garments that must be worn as a coordinated complete outfit. In
this category, a complete outfit is defined as a garment or garments that when put together make
a complete look - three piece combination, such as pants, vest, and blouse or shirt. Each piece
should be versatile enough to be worn with other garments.


Formal Wear: This outfit may be one or more pieces suitable for any formal occasion, such as proms,
weddings, and formal evening functions.
