themselves and their outfits while modeling on stage. Commentaries should be written in the third
person and should include participant’s name. Features of the outfit that audience members can see
from a distance, important lessons learned in developing or selecting the outfit, and clothing related
and/or educational goals for the future might also be included. Include attention-grabbing phrases
that emphasize the uniqueness or specialness of the outfit. Suggestions for describing outfits can be
obtained by looking at the back of pattern envelopes, magazines, or catalogs. Use detail phrases like
“brown belt pulls together brown shoes and cream shirt” or “wrapped-front dress is accented with side
tie closure”. Commentaries should be brief and concise; 55- 100 words is suggested length.
