Wyoming County 4-H Clothing Revue Results

Fashion shows are always equal measures of pageantry, entertainment, and of course, style!! Wyoming County 4-H held its annual clothing revue on Friday evening, May 7th at the Warsaw Central High School. This year's theme was "Fashion in Living Color".

On April 21st and April 24th, seventy-eight 4-H members had their sewing projects evaluated on all aspects of clothing construction including choice of fabric, sewing and finishing details, as well as fit in preparation for the revue. Sixty-eight 4-H members participated in the evening's revue on May 7th, which featured a fashion show with garments modeled by those members who completed a clothing project. 4-H'ers modeled an array of garments including aprons, skirts, blouses, pajamas, and sweatshirts. Participants also showed off handmade bath robes, coats, skirts, a variety of dresses, and period clothing on stage before an audience in which included this year's celebrity judges - former Wyoming County 4-H'ers and volunteers Becky A. George of Strykersville and Sandy Pirdy of Arcade.

The 4-H'ers had a chance to model on stage while being evaluated on fit, poise, posture and style of the item they had sewn.
