OUTFIT CHALLENGE
Department C - Section 410
Open to any 4-H member. Limit one entry per person per class. Both the Add a Piece and the Complete Outfit may be purchased from garage sale, thrift store, consignment store, resale shop (i.e. Goodwill) or a store bargain. Cost must be $10/$20 or below, depending on challenge. If clothing is altered or embellished those cost must be included in the total cost of outfit. This cost does NOT include shoes, accessories or undergarments. Accessories already owned can be used to compliment/finish the outfit.
An entry consists of modeling the outfit and a Shopping Challenge worksheet (available at the Extension Office or online). 4-H’er must model at Clothing day and at Public Fashion Revue. Entry that does not follow the guidelines will be lowered one ribbon placing.
Consider these questions in choosing your challenge piece and to complete worksheet:
- Fit, quality and care of the garment.
- When and how often do you expect to wear this outfit
- How garment/outfit fills a void in your wardrobe
- Will you change a garment by remodeling, embellishing or other changes.
You will also be asked to list each purchased piece, cost and place of purchase and cost of any changes to garment. Outfit will be displayed at the fair.
THIS PROJECT IS ONLY A MODELING PROJECT, NOT A CONSTRUCTION ENTRY. AN ENTRY CONSISTS OF THE OUTFIT AND THE WORKSHEET.
