Pageant Party
Little girls want to be princesses. It’s something born into them. They love to dress up, and the fancier the better. Starting at the young age of three or even two, if you give them a fancy hat or boa, they will parade around in it, feeling glamorous. But if you want to give them the best dress up accessories, buy them rhinestone tiaras and rhinestone chokers.
The easiest way to outfit a little girl as a princess is to just buy a Disney costume for her. Disney has a full stable of princesses, from Snow White to Jasmine. The best advantage of these costumes is that they are sized for children, whereas common dress-up clothes are adult sized. Of course, there is the other side of that coin is that the child may outgrow the costume before she outgrows dressing up. In my opinion, another disadvantage is that the Disney costumes are commercialized and catch the kids up in the rat race of buying things because the sellers tell us that the goods are what we can’t live without. I’m more in favor of “found” dress-ups for many reasons. The biggest reason is that more creativity and imagination are required when Mom’s sparkly party jacket is worn than when the store-bought costume has a picture of the character on the front.
Unfortunately, amassing a collection of dress-up clothes was much easier when the grandmas were children than it is today. Back in the Fifties, today’s great-grandmas wore fluffy, frilly can-can petticoats under their dresses to make the full skirts stand out. The little girls of the Fifties could put on one of these, put on a gaudy necklace, add a big purse, and be the Princess of Glamour or Agatha Mucha Moulah. Moms in those days wore dresses much more often than do moms today. Back then, they always wore dresses to church and the office and even shopping sometimes. Today’s moms wear a dress or skirt much more rarely. And what kid wants a pair of old jeans for dressing up?
The favorite dress-up item of my kids is an old faux Persian lamb cape that Great-Grandma wore in the 1930s. This faux Persian lamb is a black, furry, looped fabric with a slight sheen. Over the many years and generations of kids that played with it, it has been everything from a cape to a skirt to a hat. And it is still almost as beautiful as the day it was first worn to a party over a dressy frock more than 70 years ago.
Today’s best dress-ups are probably dressy jackets that have out-lived their usefulness as party wear. As jackets, they most likely are not so long that the girls who wear them will trip over them. You probably also have an out-dated necklace to contribute to the costume. Then spend a few dollars on a fancy tiara and inexpensive evening purse (or donate one of your own), and your kids can be the most beautiful princesses ever.
Connor R Sullivan and his daughters noticed the beautiful rhinestone tiaras worn by the pageant winners on TV. His daughters loved the beautiful rhinestone chokers worn by the women in the beauty pageant.
I have a beauty pageant in october please give me some advice?
the catigories are: 3 minite interveiw,active wear,party dress and talent
Overall advice: Be confident and be yourself. It is important that the judges see a girl that they can have confidence in to carry the title, you have to first have confidence in yourself..To help you be more comfortable and confident, I suggest wearing your heels around the house ALL the time..by the time your pageant gets here, you will be so used to heels, it will be second nature to you. Always smile at the judges..as you come down the runway, look at the judge on the left side, smile and continue to sweep your eyes all the way across the judges table. Keep eye contact w/ a judge at all times. Walk w/ confidence and be graceful..no loud clomping of the feet and make sure your heels have straps, no slip on shoes..these make a HORRIBLE noise when you walk on stage w/ them!
1. Interview~wear a nice suit/skirt that is comfortable and fits you well..try not to wear black or grey but if that is all you have, dont sweat it..the best choice is a colored suit in a deep pink or teal. Minimal jewelry..keep the judge focused on you and what you are saying. When it is your turn, introduce yourself to the interviewer and smile. Sit down and try not to appear too stiff..you should be poised and confident.
2. active wear~Im guessing this is a sportswear type category..try to find something different than all the contestants will be wearing…a cute little tennis outfit is good, a nice snowsuit/parka. I once saw a girl in the cutest horseriding outfit, complete w/ helmet. Another good one is a cute golfing outfit.
3.Party dress~ Choose a dress that is well-fitting and looks good on you! Go w/ some nice matiching heels and accent w/ nice jewelry..For this even, I wear a red cocktail dress that is a halter style w/ sparkles on it. up at the shoulders it also has two rhinestone circles so I wear matching silver/rhinestone hoop earrings and a rhinestone 3 strand bracelet. Glam it up a little…
4.Talent~do what is best for you…if you dont have a specific talent, a monologue is a good idea or learn to do a song in sign language.
Best of luck to you! I have a huge pageant starting tomorrow!!
