CLOTHING

Beauty competition dresses may be short or long dressy party attire. We
suggest your choice of pageant glitz dress, flower girl, baby doll, or tea
party style dresses for younger contestants, and ball gown or prom style
dresses for pre teen, teen, or older contestants. Custom highly embellished
pageant clothing is not necessary to win. Contestants should wear the style
dress that best flatters them as a unique and beautiful individual, and the
style of dress that is most comfortable and flattering for the contestant.
The look you may want to consider is Baby Sweet for the Baby and Tiny
Contestants, Precious Princess for Little Girls, Lovely and Elegant for
Pre-Teen and Older Contestants. Babies generally need no makeup at all. Very
light sheer and natural make up only to smooth skin tone or add a breath of
cheek color is all that should be considered for a baby. For a contestant
who chooses to wear Natural or Non Glitz dresses, this presentation would be
best with very sheer makeup such as sheer lip gloss and/or sheer blush.
Contestants who choose to compete in glitz may complete their total package
glitz look, but with attention to a somewhat softer look. Make up should be
flattering so as to enhance the appeal of the contestant's overall beauty
and look. Tanning should appear natural. Hair styles should look neat,
pretty, soft and hair enhancements should be flattering with the age of the
child. False eyelashes, very heavy makeup with very heavy eyeliner or dark
multi layered eye shadow, and flippers are not recommended.

Casual wear may be off the off the rack or custom. Suggestions for casual
wear is to follow the pageant theme, or select swimwear, western wear, or an

wear and talent competitions may be used but must be easily and quickly
carried on and off of the stage. Contestants may not toss or throw anything
off of the stage. Glitter, confetti or things that are tossed on the stage
may be hazardous to contestants who compete next and therefore are
discouraged. Casual wear, competition may include step routines, gestures,
and facial expressions, but with a focus on modeling and showing off the
casual outfit. Outfit of choice may include sportswear, western wear, theme
wear and swimwear and routines are welcome. Special music can be used to
enhance the presentation. Singing or any kind of dancing that involves
gymnastics or acrobatics may not be performed in any casual wear
competition, but may be entered separately in the talent or OOC
competitions.
