About this Event

In a Nutshell

In collaboration with our ReDressed Support sponsors, the Tasmanian Waste and Resource Board and Circular North, we are excited to again be hosting ReDressed for 2024.

ReDressed is an opportunity for you to redesign and remake an old garment into a 'new' one – extending the life of the garment and keeping it in use for longer – as part of a competition and refashion parade.

You will choose an existing garment(s) either from a secondhand source or your own wardrobe and upcycle it to be a ‘new’ wearable garment/outfit, not an ‘artpiece’ or a garment that can or would only be used once.

Your garment/outfit will be judged by a panel of expert judges in various categories and 25 finalists will be selected for the ReDressed Fashion Parade to be held at The Italian Club, Prospect in Launceston on the 15th November.

Prizes will be awarded in each category. Details will be provided on prizes shortly.

Who can enter?

ReDressed is for Tasmanian experienced amateur and professional garment makers, using any sewing, knitting, crochet etc clothing making techniques. Beginners are welcome to ‘give it a go’ but need to be mindful that garments will also be judged on craftsmanship.

There are four participant categories:

  • Under 18
  • Adult amateur
  • Professional designer maker
  • Fashion &/or textile design tertiary student

What do I need to enter?

You will need to have the tools and equipment necessary to create your garment/outfit. However, participants are welcome to also use the tools and facilities at The ReDress Hub during our open hours for a reduced fee.

How do I enter?

1. Purchase your ReDressed entry ticket here on Eventbrite (one ticket per garment/outfit entry)

2. Decide who you are going to make this garment for – either yourself, friend or family member who is also willing to be part of the ReDressed ReFashion Show to model the garment should you be selected as a finalist (all people of any age can be a model)

3. Select your preloved garment(s) you are going to upcycle. You are limited to no more than 3 preloved garments to make 1 upcycled garment/outfit and no fabrics larger than 50x50cm including rescued fabrics such as bed linen and tablecloths, are to be used.

4. Take photos of your existing garment(s) BEFORE you redesign them as this is a requirement for entry

5. Redesign and remake your garment. You may wish to make use of the special workshops we have planned at The ReDress Hub to support you through this process with inspiration and techniques. See the ReDressed Collection Workshops on Eventbrite and choose the ReDressed Competitor ticket for a 50% reduced fee for one of these workshops.

6. Submit your garment(s) and the photo of the original garment(s) they were redesigned from to The ReDress Hub by 5pm, 1st November.

7. If you are selected as a finalist for the ReDressed ReFashion Show you will receive a free entry ticket for you and your model if this is not you (for those in the under 18 category your ticket also includes 1 x adult ticket to support you in the Parade). If you are not a finalist, you will be able to purchase a ReFashion Show ticket at a 50% discount.

How will the garments be judged?

Entries will be judged by a panel of experts against the following criteria:

  1. Circular design and sustainability
  2. Creativity and innovation
  3. Skills and craftsmanship
  4. Wearability
  5. Ability to be replicated

**All entries must address the first 4 criteria. Criterion 5 is an additional optional criteria but mandatory for Professional Designer Makers and Fashion &/or textile design tertiary students**

Details for each criterion will be provided to participants with their entry form.

A variety of prizes will be awarded in each category as well as an overall winner.
