In a red gown I designed.
It's my little hobby.

In my research of pageants dresses, I have found them a tad old fashioned. I've found that they age beautiful pageant girls. There's too much going on in the dress, too much bling, unflattering necklines, dated colours and designs.

Well, there is evidence that fashion in beauty pageants are slowly becoming modern, and more in line with what's on the catwalk. (Though I'm sure we would all agree that very few of clothing on the catwalk is elegant or wearable.

If you are picking a gown, be sure that they fall within the principles of elegant style.

How to Choose A Gown?

Factors to Consider When Picking an Evening Gown

1. Complimentary colours for your skin tone
2. Your personality
3. How comfortable you are in the clothes

The secret of great style is to feel good in what you wear.

People should not see the dress first before you. That means, the dress should act as a 'frame' to present you to the world. Some dresses make you see it, rather than the person.

I've handpicked these dresses. If you want to see who designed it, click on the picture.

Dramatic Pageant Gowns

Drama, excitement makes the world sit at the edge of their seat.

Those kind of qualities are great for formal evening pageant gowns, like when everyone sees an ugly duckling turn into a beautiful swan for the first time.

I'm usually not a fan of ball gowns because they have a 'dated' look, but I've found these dramatic modern gowns which retained its classic elegant style elements.

Perfect for making a statement.
