9. Stage Commentary
Participants should write commentaries indicating exactly what they want to hear announced about themselves
and their outfits while modeling on stage. Commentaries should be written in the third person and should include
a 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. Additional helpful hints for writing stage commentaries can be found by checking out
