What should I wear?

• It’s best to wear plain solid colours, avoid crazy patterns, large logos and trend clothing.

• Make sure your outfit is not too baggy so we can clearly see your body shape and frame.

• Don’t wear anything too formal or too revealing.

• Don’t wear a hat, sunnies, fascinator in your hair, excess jewellery, no face paint or food on kids face or anything else that may impact the director’s ability to see what you look like.

How you should I do my hair and make-up?

• Please style your hair the way you would naturally wear it. For women and girl’s hair down and to the front of the shoulders is best, but feel free to send us additional photos with the hair up.

• Don’t over-style yourself, you want to look as similar as you can to yourself in person.

• Very natural makeup please, no bright lip colours heavy eye shadow etc.

• Guys please have your facial hair as you most often wear it.

The important things about your measurements:

• Make sure you use a proper tape measure.

• When taking your measurements remove any additional clothing, these add inches to your measurements which are not really yours!

• Get someone to help you if you feel you can`t do it by yourself.
