Principles of an Effective Presentation:
You may utilize a product such as Microsoft’s PowerPoint, Google Presentation, or Prezi to create your presentations.
There are various template designs that you can find on the web for your presentation. Consider your presentation from the perspective of your
audience prior to selecting a specific style.
o Follow the 10/20/30 rule.
10 slides in the presentation
20 minutes maximum
30-pt font size at a minimum
Each slide should include your key point(s). Do not place large blocks of text on the visual. Your presentation is not a means of presenting a short paper.
In an actual presentation you would not “read” from your slides but rather use them as prompts, you include voice.
Any notes or narration you would use in delivering this presentation to a group should be listed in the “notes” section of the slide.
References should be listed at the bottom of the slide in slightly smaller text.
Use clip art, AutoShapes, pictures, charts, tables, and diagrams to enhance but not overwhelm your content.
Be mindful of the intended audience and seek to assess the presentation’s effectiveness by gauging audience comprehension (when possible).

Dresses
Dresses was introduced very long time ago and during the ancient times.With
time the well-defined social groups created the importance of dresses. In the ancient
world dresses from Mesopatamia, Egypt, Greece, Eutrusca inspired the modern day
dresses. Initially dresses defined distinction within communities and countries. were
created for its functionality and comfort (Chilton, 2020). In the 19th century, dresses
had puffy silhouettes and oversized. Later the dresses had steel wires under the skirt
to frame the dresses. In mid 1900s, women began wearing knee length dresses and
more tomboy clothes were worn. During the World War II dresses were made short to
conserve material due to rations. Later on, dresses that accentuated the woman’s
figure and waist were introduced. Now dresses come in various styles and shapes and
for different season’s. I chose a dress because they are very versatile. believe they are
the best garment for women as it shows their femininity and silhouettes well
(ArtTECA, 2018).

Dresses first appeared during ancient times when people started living together.
In Mesopotamia where Babylonians, Sumerians, and Assyrians lived, their native
clothing was in the form of a dress. This was during the third millennium, which is
2500BC. They wore the tunic dress. This garment covered their arms and shoulders
and it was made from wool but later changed to linen. It was both worn by men and
women but men’s dresses were shorter Another dress the wore was a shawl that was
rectangular and the edges had frills on them. It had no folds and there were holes for
the head and hands only (Tortora, n.d).

Dresses now come in various styles, shapes, and colors and the choices are
unlimited. Dresses now show the women’s curves and flatter the feminine body.
Dresses now come in bold patterns and with various fabrics such as cotton, chiffon,
linen, and denim. Dresses nowadays are made to make statements and for women to
express themselves. The past styles are being incorporated into today’s styles by
modernizing them. Dresses now can be worn on various seasons and depending on
the latest trends (Chilton, 2020).
