Your pageant wardrobe

When you walk into the pageant venue, you see all of the confident women, dressed in jeans and t shirts… your expectations immediately go down. However, when you walk into a pageant venue, and the confident women are dressed in pant suits, suits, and dresses, your expectations sky rocket!

Your pageant wardrobe says a lot about you.

From the moment you enter the pageant venue, you are being judged. In a good way! Nonetheless, you are being judged by your fellow contestants, possibly judges roaming the hallways, the directors and staff. You have to represent who you are. Show up and show out.

Pageant orientation is first, this can be a pant suits or cute dress. No rollers in your hair or dressed down attire. During orientation yes everyone is listening to the staff and taking notes on the order of the pageant. Eyes are everywhere, taking note of slouching, frowning faces, and rolling eyes. If you want the job you have to play the roll.

Styling your wardrobe for your pageant shows your confidence. You are a walking bill board with your wardrobe collection!

Once orientation is over, it’s pageant time! Dress down in your hotel room or in the dressing room! Put your headphones on and get ready for your first competition. The only competition you have is YOU! Repeat your pageant mantras and be true to yourself!

Rehearsing in your pageant outfits is crucial. Making sure all of your buttons and zippers and hems are where they need to be to make you look amazing on stage. You want to make sure you leave the judges wanting more! Your competitions clothes need to exude luxury and timeless pieces. Shopping at sample sales is one way to do that!

Take a look at my gallery of competing, hosting, and visiting different pageant systems and the outfits I wore. Most of these pieces are samples and some were made by my mother and grandmother! Being original is key!
