This is your opportunity to show your style in the theme of the La Kermesse Festival. Perhaps you will dress in green, in French Chic Style, in sophisticated attire found on the runway or an idea of your own. Props such as hats or items you hold are allowed but props are not allowed to start on or be left on the stage. A parent/adult may assist the Tiny Miss Division on stage. Formal wear/Sunday's Best (33.33% of overall score): Contestants are encouraged to their "Sunday's Best" attire. You will be judged on how you carry yourself and your confidence in the clothing you wear vs. the actual attire, whether you wear a floor length gown, short dress, or skirt/shirt. Boys/Men should wear the best they can for pants and shirt. A suit, sports coat, tie, sweater, or button down shirt are all options. We want everyone to be able to participate and the clothing should not limit this. If you would like to wear a floor length dress and don't have one, please contact Lisa Ottman at 207-286-5631. She has many resources available to her and she will help you get something that works for you (long or short dresses). She will also help you to find attire for low to no funds if possible. Your call will be confidential. All divisions should wear attire that is age appropriate and displays their own sense of style while covering the body as expected for public presentation during the pageant.
