As Miss Jamaica World 2009 Kerrie Baylis prepares for her departure, All Woman shares details of her fabulous wardrobe as well as her absolute necessities for the Miss World competition slated for Johannesburg, South Africa.

Kerrie's first leg of her journey, which commences on October 28, takes her to London where she will meet the other contestants. The contestants will either be selected to take part in a fashion event in Abu Dhabi or continue on to Johannesburg.

1. Lebanese designer Joe Dargham created Kerrie's stage gown, which she will wear on the final night. 2. A beautiful one-shoulder animal-print dress by Neah Lis. 3.This beautiful, colourful three-tiered maxi is by T & T.

Miss Jamaica World's wardrobe is one of style and glamour, with selections from Sherry Couture (courtesy of Bling Bling), Uzuri International, Neah Lis, Mushroom, Joe Dargham and The Jamaican Fashion and Apparel Fashion Cluster: Patwa Apparel, Akira-Lyn, T&T, Anarcy Clothing and Shades of Africa.

When asked what she'd be carrying - along with her grand total of 36 outfits and an impressive 15 pairs of shoes - to make her weeks of competing easier, she takes out photos of her family and a necklace from her father. There'll also be her iPod, laptop, multivitamins, a flat iron, her favourite clutch and Vienna sausages: "I love Vienna sausages, I always carry them in my bag," she explains in between chuckles.

Best of luck, Kerrie!
