• Fashion Revue Evaluation Form
• The purpose of this category is to encourage sewing. Garment constructed by the 4H'er.
• 4-H’ers must be enrolled in the clothing project.
• 4-H’ers may advance to the Iowa State Fair 4-H Clothing Event more than once in Fashion Revue.
• Four participants will be eligible to represent each county with no more than two from any one category (male, female, minority), the fourth going into the “open” category.
• Garments do not have to be perfect to advance. (There is NO “4-H way” to sew!)
• Consideration is given to fit, color, style, suitability, attractiveness, quality of construction, stage presentation, and required care.

• $15 Challenge Evaluation Form
• This category is designed to expand the 4-H’er’s shopping experience to different shopping venues. Outfits must be purchased at a garage sale, consignment store, Goodwill, Salvation Army, or similar place. (Hand-me-downs or clothing as gifts belong in Clothing Selection IF 4-H’er actually selected the item(s).
• Like Clothing Selection, participants in this category do not have to be enrolled in the clothing project. 4-H’ers should have had an individual or county planned clothing selection educational experience.
• 4-H’ers may advance to the State 4-H Clothing Event only once in The $15 Challenge.
• Three participants will be eligible to represent each county with no more than one from each category (male, female, minority).
• $15 is the limit, and that includes tax if the outfit is purchased at a consignment store. (Garage sales, Goodwill, and Salvation Army type stores do not charge sales tax.)
• A receipt must be included. (A garage sale receipt might be a piece of paper that has the name of the place such as “Jane Doe garage sale”, date, amount paid, and signature of person selling at the garage sale.) If garments in outfit were purchased at more than one location, more than one receipt should be included. Failure to provide receipt(s) or sales slip(s) will result in loss of 4 points.
• An outfit consists of a top and a bottom. The $15 Challenge does not include shoes and accessories.
• There are no additional points if an outfit was way under $15. If the total is $15 or less, the points are given. If the outfit was in the “free” box at a garage sale, “free” can be listed on the form (and receipt).

• Clothing Selection Evaluation Form
• The purpose of this class is to model an outfit selected by the 4-H’er for a particular purpose or event.
• Participants do not have to be enrolled in the clothing project. 4-H’ers should have had an individual or county planned clothing selection experience(s) in choosing shopping alternatives, evaluating fit, color, style, suitability, attractiveness, quality and construction features, stage presentation, required care, and/or cost comparisons.
• 4-H’ers may advance to the Iowa State Fair 4-H Clothing Event only once in Clothing Selection.
• Three participants will be eligible to represent each county with no more than one from each category (male, female, minority).
• Judging is based on fit, color, style, suitability, attractiveness, quality and construction features, stage presentation, required care, and cost comparison.
• Judges are to remain neutral on amount spent (if the math is correct, the points are given).
• There are no “extra points” based on price spent on the outfit, on either the high end or low end as we have no way to know the resources available to individual 4-H’ers.

Examples of outfits in Clothing Selection might include but are not limited to:

• Outfit purchased at a department store, boutique store or on-line with no price limits.
  
• Garments purchased at a garage sale, consignment store, Goodwill, or Salvation Army store
  for over $15.
  
• Garments purchased at sidewalk sales, end of season sales, etc. at a retail shop or mall store
  with no price restrictions.
  
• Garments that were a gift or hand-me-down, if 4-H’er actually selected the item(s).
  
• Outfit selected from parents’ or other relative’s closet, usually vintage. Again, the 4-H’er must
  have selected the item(s).
