How To Find Your Evening Gown | Strategies for Choosing 'The One'

If there's one phase of competition that truly embodies the heart and soul of pageantry, it's the evening gown competition. What you choose, how it fits you, and how you style your look will speak volumes about you to the judges.

Finding an evening gown can be a whole thang so if you're new to this, don't be intimidated. Start with developing your sense of taste and observing what you like and don't like from the designers mentioned in this video. (Most of the time, the designer *does* matter.) Reflect on your own body shape and figure out what you'd like to show off. From there, make decisions such as color, fabric, and budget for alterations because it is imperative that your gown fit you as perfectly as possible. Unless you really know what you're doing, don't go "too trendy" right out the gate.

I am a male ... a huge pageant fan. I just came upon your video

I always thought that you would cross over to the Miss USA system. With yesterday's announcement, from the Miss Universe Organization, that there is now no age limit, please consider trying out for a State pageant.

BTW, I forwarded your video to 6 international Miss Universe Organization Directors

Love your videos!! I was wondering your opinion about teen candidates (MAOTeen) having slits in their evening gowns-- I happen to have a ball gown with a slit and I'm trying to decide whether to sew it up or not. (For reference it's not a HIGH slit, it hits just above the knee) Again, love your videos

What are your opinion on full sequins dresses?

[princess_skye]

Can you give some sites of where to get evening gowns from ?

[May_lean]

Hi crystal, .. may i ask..if a pageant asked us to dress up bon voyage, ..something to represent a country world wide.. does that mean wearing up in heritage

[koyenabiswas]

A video sharing information about what type of dress should be worn according to body type, in my last show i wore a dress which looked fine but after i wore i i recognised body type dress is important, pls 😅

I remember the times when I had black hair and many times I was wearing black clothes, black dresses and high heels and some people said that I am usually all black, expect colour skin, I also loved gold, I still love but I realized that I want to change my style a bit, now I have pink long hair and I wear more colorful and sweet clothes but I love black and gold still.
