Competitions and Events

 

The Single Pattern Contest: 2-3 commercially available patterns are chosen and you use the pattern as a starting point to make anything you wish! Use your creativity and go wild!

 

The Future Fashion Folio: Anyone can submit original fashion/costume designs. A panel will choose from those submitted and put together the Folio, which is sent out to all members and designers. Then you can make any design you wish and display it in a fashion show!

 

Historical Masquerade: A masquerade to celebrate all eras of history as well as traditional costume from other cultures. Costumes can be accurate recreations or original interpretations of historical style.
