Sonoma County 4-H Fashion Revue is a fun opportunity for Sonoma County 4-H members to show off the knowledge, skills, and creativity they have used to create various clothing or textile related entries. The goals of 4-H Fashion Revue are to inspire an appreciation of clothing, textiles, consumer science, and personal development.

Evaluation of all categories includes value vs. cost, coordination of full outfit, knowledge gained while creating entry, presentation, overall look, versatility of entry, fit, cleanliness, complexity of skills used compared to sewing experience, and more!
