Dress Code 2025

Outfit 1

• Saturday night party dress / cocktail dress (knee length or above the knee) and sash.

• You are permitted to wear flat shoes or heels.

• Please ensure that the dress does not have any ribbons / bows on the front as the sash will not hang properly and will mess up the photos.

Please be aware

• The catwalk is 2 ft high so dresses must not be too short.

• Contestants who do not follow the dress guidelines will have points deducted by the judges and in some cases will not be permitted on the catwalk in the relevant outfit.

Outfit 2

• Evening dress and sash (normally full length but can be just below the knee in length)

• Please ensure that the dress does not have any ribbons / bows on the front as the sash will not hang properly and will mess up the photos.

• The most popular colours tend to be black, blue and red.

• The catwalk is white and the backdrop is white.

• Please ensure where the dress has a split in it – that the split is not too revealing.

• Finalists should be very careful when selecting dresses from photographs or online

• with major splits in them at the front as these can become very revealing when walking in them on a catwalk.

• Sheer dresses without the appropriate underwear are not permitted.

• Please ensure you have walked in your shoes a few times before the show to ensure you are able to walk in them properly.

• Also, please test walking in your long dress and shoes prior to the final to ensure your dress is not too long and your shoes get tangled in the dress when trying to walk.
