Judging : Dress Revue and Clothing Exhibits : Extension Circular 4-46-64

This circular will help team members understand each other and the evaluation process and to work together effectively. Included in the circular is a discussion of objectives, tips for judges, judging guides and a description of a desirable appearance. As 4-H clothing projects are evaluated at fairs we hope the judge will look at the total picture, will not criticize minor details, and will have good reasons for her decision. We hope the rest of the team will accept this decision like good sports. : OBJECTIVES As we evaluate 4-H clothing projects at fairs we hope they will help the girl: 1.
