What is Australia's national costume?

What should I include in a costume design portfolio?

• I'm a senior in high school and i've been taking costume design at my school for 2 years. My teacher is having us do portfolios of our work and she told us to add a 5"X7" picture of the costume we made (be it an onstage picture, the costume on a manniquin, or the actor modeling it), a description of the costume/VERY brief description of the play/production (time period, etc)/assignment. and a resume. What I was wondering is, should I also include sketches of the costume? Like, if I thought of doing the costume one way then it evolved and I did another sketch which then became the final product and that sort of thing. For schools and employers looking at my portfolio, will they care about the creative process or do they just want to see the final product? I plan on applying to FiDM in 2 years or so and I want to start putting together a great portfolio starting now. So sketches, yes or no? And also, I've heard that people add swatches of the fabrics they used on the costume, how would I go about adding that to my portfolio? Do I glue it to a piece of cardstock and add it? We're using 3-ring binders and plastic page covers for our portfolios? Are there better, more professional portfolios out there for fashion/costume design where we can add fabric swatches and small samples of notions? I know it's a lot of questions but I don't see my teacher again until another 2 weeks and I really want to know these things! PS, I know that for a digital portfolio the fabric swatches might be completely useless but I'd like to keep a hard copy of my portfolio for easy viewing at job interviews and such.
