We take the time to really assist our girl's when they are selecting their
pageant dresses out. Sometimes I wonder if we are working for the child or the parent? It almost seems critical to make sure the final dress selection is comfortable, the color is right AND the child loves the dress. If that child is not confident in what she is wearing, they are not going to glow on stage. The audience and the judges love watching that child light up the room, that is what they are looking for. So my note to all those moms and
grandmother's out there that are out buying a pageant gown for their kid -make sure you follow the below punch list to ensure a win win situation for everyone.
Pageant Tips on selecting a dress!
- What is your child's coloring (such as skin tones, hair and eyes)?
- Is your child old enough to wear a floor length pageant dress (who wants to see a 2 or 3 year old fall down )?
- Does your child have allergies or is sensitive to anything (such as fabrics)? Who wants a child that complains that there dress makes them itch or is uncomfy!
- Does the child love the dress as much as you do?
- If you have a budget, don't show her the items she can't have!
Your job as the parent is to help guide her towards a dress that displays HER best features and not just select a pageant dress that you love.
