Have you got your outfit ready? Here are a few judging tips from our style guru and MC, Miss Chrissy.

~ Be true to your era – make sure your top/bottom/coat are all from the same era
~ Accessories make and outfit – but make sure they are the same era as your clothes
~ Style your hair and makeup to match the era of the outfit you are wearing. There is no particular era we are looking for – wear your favourite! From 1920s to ’50s, ’60s to (uh oh!) ’80s.
