Hearing that, the participants began to get busy with their respective work. Likewise with the team from Scholar High School. Ira and the team began to busy working on Muslim clothing that they had designed before. From starting to make patterns, cutting cloth, to sewing. Everything is shoulder to shoulder featuring the best fashion. Equipped with accessories.

Three hours passed, finally the time that the committee had determined ended. MC also asked the participants to stop their activities. Hearing that, all stopped. The atmosphere was a bit quiet and tense. All seemed finished with their respective fashion designs.

"Alhamdulillah, it's finally over it's time. You guys have finished the competition today. Thanks for the spirit. You guys are cool, "praise the MC to the participants, while giving both thumbs up.

"Well, now, please present the respective clothes. Mention the theme and what reasons made you decide to design the dress. Each one has fifteen minutes. Okay?" MC.

Then one by one the participants presented their respective works. Until it was the turn of the Ira team who advanced forward. Ira herself went forward explaining their fashion theme. While his clothes were exhibited by his four friends.

Straightforward, Ira began her presentation,

"Assalamualaikum, first of all thank you for the opportunity so that I can stand here to present our work. Our theme is rainy and dry season fashion. Why do we take this theme? All are adjusted to the seasons in Indonesia, namely the rainy and dry seasons. We sampled six models each. Everything is simple, simple, yet elegant. By using selected materials that can absorb the lightening, especially for summer fashion as it is today. This is a summer or dry fashion model if in Indonesia.

"We hope to provide a solution or alternative clothing that can be worn according to the season. So that no one else complains about not wearing Muslim clothing just because of the difference in the season. More than that, wearing Islamic clothing is mandatory for every Muslimah. Not choice. Nor because it follows the current trend which is already a lot of hijrah and want to hijab syar'i like this."

"So, whatever the condition, do not let go of this dress. And in the season, we have the solution. Luckily we who live in Indonesia only have two seasons, unlike in other countries that have four seasons. If it happens in Indonesia, surely we will make a sample of four clothes that correspond to the four seasons. This is our design. May it be useful and liked."

Ira continued to describe their design style with straightforwardness and passion. Includes materials used for each season. Equipped with short tips to stay comfortable wearing every season. Everyone who heard it looked amazed. For those who are new to hearing, it becomes a new science for them. And for those who have not worn the hijab look motivated want to wear it immediately. Fifteen minutes later, Ira finally finished presenting her team's work and returned to her stand with Yunia and Rita.

Not felt, an hour passed finally they finished presenting their respective works. Before long, reverberating adhan Zuhur prayer. Finally, the MCs disperse for a moment to pray Zuhur and have lunch.

At around 13:30, everyone gathered to announce the results of today's jury decision. MC came forward immediately.

"Assalamualaikum, what about Adik-Adik. Ready to hear the jury's verdict? So I went with Degan, yeah. Your work is cool, so confused, want to be encouraged, deh, "ask the MC excitedly.

"Well, we invite the representative of the jury to come forward and announce the results. "

"Ehm, test... Assalamualaikum, my cool sisters. True said MC Ma'am earlier, your work is cool, the concept is also okay. It can be seen from the way you present your work. Although there are still some who are a little shy when explaining, there are even trembling, groggy, huh? But it's okay, you guys are still great. Everyone has tried hard. Thanks for that. We remain proud of you, young people. Hopefully someday, you can keep going and the spirit like today. Aamiin's."

The jury representative sighed for a moment and continued reading the results. It turns out that Scholar High School also survives, and is entitled to follow to the next round, which is the second preliminary which will be held next week.

After the jury finished announcing the results and returned to his seat. MC went back to the front,

"Alhamdulillah, the result has been read earlier. Thank you to the judges who took the time to judge your work. Congratulations to those who survive. Don't be arrogant, stay tuned, yeah. And for the excluded, do not be sad, disappointed, and desperate, yes. Your chances are long. Don't give up until here. Remember, failure is a delayed win. Where there is effort there must be a way. And effort will never betray results. Insha'allah. Aamiin's."

MC continued, though,

"Well, for those who still survive and will go to the second preliminary round, be prepared even better. Hope you can improve your skills even more. Fashion theme, stay free. Prepare your best presentation like today. See you next week."

"Today's entire series of events has been completed with complete order. Congratulations to all of you, including the supporters. All right, I've been stepping down so many days. Sorry if there is anything less in your heart. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wa barakatuh."
