Category 2

Category 3
Outfit both designed & made by someone else, but put together by you
If you use someone elses patterns or clothes, please give full credit to the maker/designer. Of course "commercial" shoes, wigs etc are OK in every category. All entries must be on stands, or securely supported by any props you are using. You can can use up to two dolls (ie: a matching couple, or mother/daughter) but it is one entry.
Please limit the presentation to 24" square. If someone needs more space than this, they need to contact us for special arrangements.
Please limit one entry per category.
Entries will be accepted on Friday August 6, no advance notice is necessary, but if you are sure you will be entering , it would be appreciated if you would email us so we have rough idea of how much space we will need to show everyone to their best advantage.
There will be a small fee of $3 per entry, payable at the time of entry.
*A professional will be defined as:
Anyone who earns a significant portion of their income (50% or more) in the manufacture or sale of clothing (either doll or human); or has competed, worked or trained professionally in a textile-based industry (sewing, costuming, design, etc.). Vendors selling their own creations at BJDC will be considered Professionals for this competition.
Any entry that is a collaboration (including entries in Category 2) must compete at the level of the most experienced member. Items sewn from commercial patterns will compete at the level of the seamstress.
Professional Levels of category 1 will be judged; not voted on.
Judges for the Professional Level will be announced soon.
