You've booked a Go-See, now what will you wear? The first thing to think to remember is that, the client needs to see your body and face. The client wants you to be the perfect girl for them, so be confident. Also, put yourself in their shoes. It's important they can see you clearly. So wear clothes that are form fitting, nothing baggy. A tank dress or tank top and tight jeans or a skirt or shorts is always a safe bet.
You want to look and feel comfortable, so wear something that you like to wear. It will make it easier for you to be confident. Think simple colors and patterns, nothing really flashy or loud. We all have certain colors that flatter our skin tone or our eyes. You're best suited wearing those things.
Remember, they want to see you, not that super cool florescent 80's dress with the ruffles. It's OK to wear something that expresses your personality. But make sure your beautiful face and figure are the most prominent thing. That special quality that makes you stand out is what they are looking for.
Wear little or no jewelry, it can be distracting and they may ask you to remove it. You should wear nude, seamless undergarments. Just in case you have to try on clothes for the client, you'll be safe if they are white or form fitting. Nu-Bra makes an excellent stick-on bra that is strapless and backless. It's a good thing to have with you just in case you try on anything that requires a special bra like that. It's very smooth and looks nice under all clothing. It can even give you a little boost if needed. There are several brands of these types of bras out there and can be found at most department stores.
It's also good to bring a pair of high heels. They make everyone and most clothing look better. It's another important thing to have with you. It's not necessary to wear them, but you should have them as an option. If you feel more confident in heels, by all means, strut your stuff, but they may ask you to remove them too.
Pay attention to what the job is for. If it's a go-see for a magazine, then they will want to see all of you, so go with form fitting all around. If it's for a shoe company or something that needs to see your legs, wear a short skirt or shorts, not boot cut jeans. A jewelry maker will probably like to see your neck, arms and ears, so pull your hair up and wear a tank or tube top. Swimwear company? You guessed it, wear your favorite bikini under your clothes. The list goes on, but if you think about what the client needs to see, you can figure out what is best for you to wear.
Put together a model bag with the above mentioned items along with your portfolio, and bring it to every go-see.
