6 Fashion Show Script for the Runway Fashion Show: Write 2-3 sentences about the complete outfit describing the features of the garment that you have selected to wear in the Fashion Revue (include accessories). This information may be included in the fashion show script. Do not mention the obvious such as long sleeve white shirt, or blue dress. Be creative, have fun. Figure Types: The human body comes in a variety of shapes and sizes and is predetermined by genetics. While research studies have described figure types is numerous ways, most body types can fit into several categories for male and female figure types. We are all different. While there is no perfect body type, there are ways to use design principles and elements to create the best look possible with the clothing we wear. The current stereotype of the ideal female body shape is moderately tall with a body balanced vertically, an hourglass figure and an oval shaped face. For males the ideal is tall with a balanced vertical body and a trapezoid torso (that is, broad shoulders and chest tapering to medium waist and hips) and an oval face. If you understand what your current shape and proportions are and know a few style guidelines for your shape you are well on your way to looking your best. You can create the illusion of a desired body shape by choosing clothes to create the illusion of the ideal proportions. The media often gives an unrealistic impression that all people should fit into one body shape mold. The truth is the models may not even fit into this ideal mold because they are often airbrushed and altered by computer software to make the perfect image. Sometimes the person in the advertisement is not even a real person, rather a computer-generated model! This media message may be harmful to how individuals view themselves and may cause them to adopt unhealthy eating and exercise habits as they strive to fit the mold. Promote a positive body image: It is important to understand media and evaluate what is seen in the media. Promote a healthy lifestyle rather than worrying about body shape or weight. Every body shape can be healthy if a combination of healthy eating and regular physical activity is maintained. Encourage others by telling them when they have done a good job. Every body shape can be healthy as long as healthy life style choices are adopted. Healthy eating and regular physical activity are important to everyone and every body type. The idea is to make the most of whatever shape you are now. Briefly describe how any of the design principles and elements can be used to give you your best look possible with the clothing you wear.

11 Ready-To-Wear Consumer Judging Description and Study Guide 4- H Ready-To-Wear Consumer Judging is a decision making exercise based on a hypothetical buying situation. 4-Hers will judge two classes of Ready To-Wear garments (t-shirts, jeans, shorts, blouses, shirts, etc.). There will be 4 garments per class and contestants will be given 7 minutes per class for evaluation, and 25 minutes total for two consumer judging tests. Notes may be taken on notecard provided during the contest for judging. A sample note card and sample test are included in this packet. A written situation for each class will establish the basis for determining garment placings (1 st -4 th ), to be evaluated by the Hormel Scoring Scale. It will be necessary to compare the garment choices in order to select the one best suited to the situation. Seldom is one alternative perfect or another alternative all bad, so strengths and weaknesses of each choice will have to be weighed. To place the class, 4-Hers will rank garment choices from best to poorest for the situation. Judging will also include 25 true/false test questions for each garment class. Test questions will be made based upon the following categories. There will be some test questions based solely off of knowledge about these categories. Consumerism Cost per wear Garment Care Appropriateness to Scenario Budget Labeling information: fiber content, care instructions, country of origin Cost of garment: fits situation Garment Construction Closures: buttons, zippers, button holes Stitch length, even seams, straight Matching patterns/pieces, parts of design Extra Detailing Areas of Weakness Appropriate seam finish Interfacing Hems Textile Science Fiber content Fabric hand Fabric Type Fabric Appropriateness Fabric Performance/Characteristics Fabric color combination/dye stability Ready to Wear updated February 2018 Page 11 of 16

When a garment s label says satisfaction guaranteed, the consumer can expect a good quality product, as in Garment A. 29. The graphic design on Garment A would appeal to 4-year olds. a. True b. False Fashion Revue Cost Per Wearing Formula and Cleaning Costs The care of a garment can be a costly addition to the true cost. Before a consumer buys a garment, he/she should estimate cost per wearing. To figure cost per wearing, a monetary value must be placed on care. Cost per wearing is the total cost of the garment plus the cost of cleaning, divided by the total number of wearings for the life of the garment. The 4-H er needs to figure the number of wearings between cleanings, and then multiply that figure by the actual cost of washing or dry cleaning. Cost / wearing Formula: $ + {$ x ] = $ Cost of garment Care Cost Care # Total Wearings Cost/ wearing Care considerations include: 1) Frequency of cleaning based on: fabric/fiber (linen is cleaned more often than wool), color (light colors show soil and wear sooner) and activity (heavy duty/outside versus desk job) 2) Recommended method for cleaning (dry cleaning, machine washing and drying, hand washing, etc.) 3) Cost of cleaning Total wearings includes the number of wearings for the entire life of garment. Example: Sweater B is a blend of cotton, ramie and silk; dark red; fisherman weave; pearl buttons. Cost $50; dry cleaning $4.50; will be worn 20 times each year and dry cleaned every other wearing (10 times/year), with life expectancy of 3 years, so that: Cost/wearing = cost + care total wearings = $50 + [$4.50 x 30 cleanings] 60 wearings Ready to Wear updated February 2018 Page 14 of 16

15 = $50 + $ = $ = $3.08 per wearing Wise consumers read labels and take care-requirements into consideration before making purchasing decisions. The sweater used in the example above would cost approximately $1.08 / wearing if the care method would have specified hand washing and air-drying: = $50 + [.50 x 30 cleanings] 60 wearings = $1.08 per wearing Cleaning costs: Use the following figures in your data sheet calculations for cleaning costs: $1.50 for machine washing and machine drying $.50 for hand washing and air-drying $.75 for machine wash line dry $5.00 for dry cleaning Though local dry cleaner fees may differ, use the figures above for your calculations. In the data packet for Ready to Wear Contest, you will be asked to calculate the approximate cost per wearing your outfit. Please remember to show your mathematical calculations on the data sheets. Points will be deducted if calculations are not included. As a reminder, you may also be asked to calculate cost per wearing during the contest. 4-H U Fashion Revue submission process for Ready to Wear Division: Complete Ready to Wear Data Packet including photos and evaluation score sheets that you have selfcored.
