 than have a dickering over that, could someone make a ruling about what 
 should be included?

Thread is a given, you can't make a garment without it. It'll be a freebee 
this year. However, if you use a large quantity of thread to do more than 
attach seems, such as make lovely lace, then the cost should be included. If 
you combed your sheep, dyed your wool, and then did spin your own thread, 
please list your work for extra points. Fabric, trim, buttons, leather for 
laces or shoes, hat supplies, gromets, ect should be counted. The most 
complete the outfit at the lowest cost is the aim. Decorations, such as 
jewelry, do not have to be counted as long as you stipulate they are for the 
pleasure of the eye and not a part of the entry. I will publish the judging 
forms ahead of time so entrants may have a better idea of what they need to 
concentrate on.
