If you’re competing in a pageant that requires an evening gown, renting may be a good option for you. Many rental shops exist now that specialize in formal wear, and they rent dresses for a low cost. They also handle the dry cleaning so you don’t have to worry about that after the event.
When shopping for a pageant gown, it’s important to have a clear vision of what you want in your dress. This may be a gown that you’ve seen on another contestant or titleholder, or it might be based on something that really flatters your figure. When trying on gowns, always bring the shoes and undergarments that you will be wearing in competition to help get a true idea of how the dress fits. Also, stay open minded because sometimes a gown that doesn’t look great on the hanger can still wow you when you put it on!
It’s also a good idea to have a few options ready when you go gown shopping, especially if you are on a tight budget. Borrowing a gown from a fellow competitor who is a similar size can save you money, and many pageant directors have a closet full of gowns to lend out to their contestants. Finally, don’t forget to have a plan for storing your gown when you’re not wearing it. Keep it in a cool, dark place away from light to prevent color fade. If you have to store it in a closet, consider using an undergarment made by a company like Spanx to create a smooth silhouette and reduce the risk of the gown stretching or wrinkling.
