karen, as always, a conservative skirt and a blouse are always the correct attire in the ring. If your judge is wearing a skirt, then you should as well. As always, err on the side of conservative taste and muted colors than the loud and busy prints. Your dog should be noticed, not your outfits. Take a look at former handlers turned judges in the all breeds like Mrs. Clarke (Anne Roger Clark), Jane Forsyth and Mike Billings and Mary Roberts, they dressed in a conservative fashion. And if you need an example of guys, take a look at George Ward, Kaz Hosaka, Bob Forsyth and Mr. Moses, JR Alcanatara.. well dressed, conservative and always en vogue.
