Before you begin:
1. Analyze the garment. What is special about it?
2. List major features you want to describe, along with a few comments that relate to the
garment and how it will be worn.
3. Study mail order fashion catalogs, magazines, the pattern envelope and advertisements to see
how they describe similar features. This is especially useful for beginning projects such as
skirts that don't have a lot of detail.
4. Describe the garment by starting with the obvious, then call the audience's attention to details
such as accessories that relate directly to the garment.
5. Include information about you: age, 4-H club, parents, other projects at the fair, school
activities etc.
