1. (Which I've gone into before). The Mystery Box Challenge: Each team shows up and gets a rubbermaid tub of fabric and trims. They must then create a garment from it. Trading between teams and a table of extra bits allowed. It'd be nice to have internet access for research.
2. East Meets West - this one would be scored both individually, and via team. All registered teams would be assigned to either "east" or "west." "East" teams must create onsite the "eastern" garment of their choice - Middle Eastern, Byzantine, East European, Japanese, etc. However far you feel you can push that definition. Ditto for "West." Scoring would include points for originality and the breadth of cultures covered by each team. You might get fewer points for trying to, say, create an "Eastern English" costume - or otherwise missing the category in the opinion of the judges.
3. Dress a Duke - Each team gets a Royal Peer as a victim/model. They must create a Court garment worthy of Royalty - and take that Peer's input into account, as the Peer will also score the team on how well they listened to and responded to requests. Peers will be randomly assigned on site.
4. The Prince and the Pauper - create TWO garments: One for someone of the nobility, one for a bourgeois/"peasant." The two garments must be matched in gender, location, and time period. In other words, dress two contemporaries of different classes.
5. Rules are made to be broken - Bring research regarding a particular time and locale's sumptuary laws. Then create a garment that breaks them. *g* Knowing full well that those laws wouldn't exist if it weren't a problem!
6. I see London, I see France! - This challenge would involve creating only the undergarments for an outfit.
7. You Outta Be In Pictures: Pick a favorite portrait - recreate the outfit. Then pose your model and we'll take a picture for comparison.
