Will This Frugal Mother’s $9 Pageant Dress Wow The Judges? | Toddlers & Tiaras

Pageant mum Alane gets her 9-year-old miracle child Alessondra ready for the big stage and shows us how to DIY a glitz pageant dress for only $9. Will her budget-friendly dress impress the judges?

"it's like being an artist ....and I'm terrible at art." I felt that

[skibbykorea]

I cried a little lol like she is so sweet to her daughter “who needs eyelashes?” “Not me” like yessss give her unbreakable self confidence 😭😭

[kiwiraichu]

"Wow who needs false eyelashes?"
"Not me."
"That's right."
She answered in such a sure and confident way! Such a good mom.

Refreshing to have a mother that wants her daughter to look natural. She’s a winner in my book.

This mom actually seems like a great mom. Doesn’t want her daughter to look fake, doesn’t put a ton of pressure on her kid, wants her daughter to do her, supports her daughter

[scarlettmacpherson]

When she said she doesn’t fake tan and glue fake eyelashes to her daughter I smiled. So much better for children in the long run

I love how her mom is so calm and isnt stressed. She just wants her daughter to have fun

[Bottledincandescence]

Ok but the dress they thrifted was actually really cute and suited the daughter well? The hoop skirt/cupcake dress is LITERALLY a staple wedding dress style for adult women - cause it. is. cute.!

This mom is not a frugal mom. She’s a good mom, she doesn’t bother spending money for her daughter, she’s just teaching her good lessons and life skills. She’s teaching that she doesn’t need expensive clothes or makeup to look good, and the personality inside is more important than beauty. Great job, Alane! Alessondra would definitely have great life skills.

"She's gonna look the way she feels comfortable looking"
-Amazing pageant mom

Her mom is actually the only good mom I’ve seen in this show, she budgets with her preparation and is calm about her daughter’s mistakes I love it

[coraavenue]

I did pagents for years and the one thing I can say is that is that this girl has natural talent. Her mother choosing natural, no tanner, and telling her not to be robotic is going to make her stand out every time. I’m glad she doesn’t want to compromise her child and her budget for a hobby.

[suesylvester]

i love this mom. she doesn’t want her daughter to be fake, all she cares is that she’s comfortable

[Heather_ash.]

That mom needs an award for the most reasonable and best mom on this damn show. Good job mom for being so supportive of your child. :)

“We’re not going to win at any price; we have certain boundaries...” This mom is amazing! Other pageant moms need to take notes.

[zoeyelaine]

I like how realistic she was, she really cares about her children and treats them like a actual blessing.

[Mysterychan]

“Who needs fake lashes”
“Not me”

Yes queen give her that self confidence

[Tara-idrk]

So this Mom is actually teaching her daughter VALUES, MORALS, AND REAL LIFE LESSONS?! Bravo!! Best mom I’ve seen on this show! She is wonderful for teaching her daughter that she doesn’t have to be a fake person and that money is better invested in things other than outrageous dresses that hardly anyone can ACTUALLY afford. Smart Mom. Sweet daughter. You can tell this mom really loves her daughter and loves being a mom.

[unconventionaltoothfairy]

That little girl actually looks happy doing pageants, it warms my heart

[halcynical]

she's one of the best moms in this show to be honest. she teaches her kid to love herself as she is, without needing a fake tan, fake lashes or fake anything.
