Your job is to show off the item you made so judges and the audience can see how it fits and may be used, as well as your own personal style. Make sure the item you made is looking its best &#8211; an iron will be available the day of judging if needed.<\/li>\n<li>Hygiene &#8211; you should be well groomed and neat in appearance.<\/li>\n<li>Props &#8211; consider bringing items to dress up your presentation. These can be accessories that complement your outfit, or keep you hands busy (ex. Did you make an apron, maybe carry a rolling pin or hot mitt or did you make a dress, make sure your hair is tidy and your shoes match your dress).<\/li>\n<li>Presentation &#8211; your physical presentation is important, but so is your communication and knowledge of your garment. Be confident when answering judges questions &#8211; look them in the eye and smile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2026 4-H Fashion Revue invites members that enjoy designing and making their own sewn, crocheted or knitted projects to showcase them in this year\u2019s event.
