ISLAND SHOWGIRL COSTUME
An evening gown is a long, sophisticated garment typically worn for formal events. The length can range from mid-calf (ballerina length), just above the ankles (tea length), to full-length. Evening gloves are often paired with these gowns, which are crafted from luxurious fabrics like chiffon, velvet, satin, or organza, with silk being a popular option. Unlike ball gowns, which always feature a full skirt and fitted bodice, evening gowns come in various silhouettes, including sheath, mermaid, fit and flare, A-line, or trumpet, and may feature straps, halters, or sleeves.
For this category, contestants should choose a gown that complements the female form, incorporating embellishments such as rhinestones, sequins, liquid beads, fringe, or high-fashion elements. This is not a PULETASI category. Instead, you are encouraged to design a modern gown with a Polynesian flair, using contemporary fabrics that can incorporate traditional materials like siapo or ie toga. The goal is to create a stunning piece that reflects today’s fashion trends while adding a uniquely Polynesian touch.
