Pageant Dresses

When a young lady decides to be in a pageant, no matter the age of the girl or type of pageant, the first thing that is normally done is the purchase of the dress. For some ladies, this is difficult because they have never participated in a pageant and have no idea what to wear. There are many factors to consider when choosing a dress, for example, the age of the contestant, the type of pageant, and what type of dress looks good on them. All of these factors must be considered in order to be in line with the pageant and to look appropriate.

From a very young age, girls can participate in pageants. As early as just a few months old, little girls are sporting fancy little dresses. Typically for this type of age group, of birth to six years old, little girls will wear short dresses, above the knee, in bright or pastel colors. Glitz pageants are very popular and the dresses for this type of pageant are "cupcake" style, and have poofy short skirts and heavily beaded tops. Pinks, blues, yellows, and white are very popular colors for the young girls, especially in the pastel hues. Once a girl hits the age of seven, in some pageants, they will switch to wearing the long dresses. The tops will still be heavily beaded and the skirts are still poofy. Colors can then be bolder and the options are endless. In a "Natural" beauty pageant, "church" dresses are typically worn, so that not so much emphasis is put on the dress but rather the beauty of the girl.
