Wardrobe! This video is SO ACCURATE. I have learned from looking at what contestants have worn in previous years Dillard’s is wayyyyyy too popular in the Miss America system so I tend to stay away from there. For evening gown, as long as it fits correctly (and has been appropriately altered!!) and comes from a pageant/prom store it’s usually ok around here. You’re not super likely to have repeats because of the wide variety of dresses carried in those stores. If that’s out of your budget you can always check secondhand websites like Poshmark and Mercari which can make you look like a million bucks at a prelim. For talent, I tend to wear evening gowns so same tips apply but for dancers wherever you would go to have a recital piece made is usually safe. Don’t buy your talent outfit off the rack! It will not stand out among other contestants and you will get points taken off your overall talent score which is a HUGE percent of your preliminary score. Hope that helps!!
@@fiafia5802 hey!! My rule is always if you buy it off the rack just do SOMETHING to make sure it fits and is unique to you!! Custom is awesome though! Jesse always looks like a million bucks 😉
Aww you're so sweet. Thank you! They were bonded by Morgan Presley Dental. They're so nice, I'm glad that they convinced me to bond them instead of getting veneers.
I'm thinking of doing it over 40 pageant and what cracks me up is the interview outfits is what I would actually wear to a formal job interview. I have an entire wardrobe of these.
Unfortunately there's no set guidelines for that because it depends on what looks great on each person, the staging, and lighting of a particular stage. There's a lot of factors.
Wardrobe! OMG!!! This video was made 2 years ago. I looked up dresses today and that first dress for kids interview dresses pulled up first. I was like nope, to much for a kid. Actually all these dresses pulled up. 😭 And I considered the 2nd pageant dress in pink and we did not like it. This video is on point!
So obsessed with your channel! Thanks for your tips 😊! My very first pageant was in October and I got first runner up but my clothes were sooo different than mine! This was so helpful, thanks!!☺️☺️☺️
HA!!! I literally ordered that blue dress for my daughter when she did her first formal type pageant. She was like 10 and YALL....when it came in it was in a ZIPLOCK BAG!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 luckily I sew and I fixed it and blinged it out and she WON! But never again. Lesson learned lmao
I don’t know if you had made a video for teens who want to star parents or if you had but I love your channel and this is what all pageant girls positivity should be to pageant
Hey Dani, I am 18 yrs old, I dream of becoming Miss India, it's almost a year that I have been following you, and I must say ur just the best guide ever. Guys let's appreciate her for her easily accessible informative videos Ur the best Love from India!!!
That first outfit reminds me of what Bunny (Charlotte York's first mother in law), Jackie (Alicia Florrick's mother in law) and Jane Fonda in Grace and Frankie would wear.
Pageant tips and don't wear these outfits. I like it! Good tips. So you were Miss Montana in 2018. I can see that. And you represent that well. I like the way you present yourself on camera. I like the way you chose to shoot and film this video. You speak really well. Awesome video. Great tips. I could totally see you hosting a game show or something like that. I could totally see you hosting on television, like E Entertainment Tonight or something like that. This video is great! I have just suby7scribed to your channel. So congrats, you just gained another one. I'm on this platform myself. So it's nothing for me to check you out. See what you are all about. No problem with at least giving your content a shot. After all, I'm a content creator on RUclips trying to do the same thing you are.
Seascorp Scorpio Olivia wore a Raspberry silk chiffon Sherri Hill couture gown. The silk also had a green irredentist metallic woven into the fabric. It was the same silk chiffon that Miss Michigan USA 2016 wore when she won her state title 💕
I'm about to do a small school pagenat, this is my second one super excited! I'm doing a simple red classy dress for the interview, and an emerald green, form fitting dress for the pagenat day. Thanks for all the tips super helpful
New pageant mom here. Im completely lost. But thanks to you, im somewhat more comfortable with this. My daughter is a vibrant 8 year old with ADHD and we got a letter for NAM!!! Shes over the moon about it and so am i but i am also nervous and i really dont want to let her down.
You're welcome :D That's very sweet of you. Don't be too hard on yourself, you're new to pageantry. There's going to be a learning curve. I have lots of videos to help :)
Few days ago,one of my friend suggest me to watch your video...and I am so thankful to her🥰...Thankyou so much❣.Your are really amazing and I am just 14 but I dreamt to win miss universe.
Hello Dani- I always wondered: I kinda daydream over judging a pageant someday - do you have to be a previous titleholder in order to become a judge? (Even though I go to a historical women’s college, I don’t see too many people talking about pageants and feel like I am the only one besides my closest friends who support them or understand them)
U r video is amazing, well U may make a video in which will U please include what kind of dress to be wearer in the grooming sessions of a beauty pageant
Can you please do a vl;og on hair styes for evening gown competition. I keep seeing and hating those little roll on top of the head (pusod). Bigger and in neck area is fine and classy. Never a small little pusod on top of the head. It makes them less beautiful.
Hey 👋 I’m thinking about doing a pageant for the first time in July 2020. I’m so looking forward to this first time opportunity next year😁By the way, I find your videos super helpful and I hope it will help me for next year
That's really exciting. I also offer personal coaching to help contestants prepare. I'd love to help you with that. Just send me an email at daniwalkermusic@gmail.com
I noticed at NAM Nationals there were alot of girls in the All American Miss divisions who were wearing what appeared to be more like "Fun Fashion" type dresses for evening gown. I feel like they are sometimes uninformed at State levels that they don't HAVE to have floor length dresses for evening wear, but I personally have not once seen anyone win without floor length gowns. I was surprised to see this at nationals because I would think they would have been more informed. Also, there were some who wore large flowers or flower headband type things in their hair, which really seemed out of place during evening gown. I think they wanted to stand out, which they did but not in a good way. I think having large headbands or large hair pieces of any sort is a huge distraction. One girl literally looked as though she was going to her first holy communion. Some of them looked as though they were dressed for Easter or a Christmas party. They would have colored dresses with black or white shoes. I wanted to make a video but I didn't want to offend anyone or point anyone out in any way...
I've seen a lot of that too. That's because rules allow for them to wear those things, but they don't score well in comparison to a gown that's floor length.
I did not know that contestants would choose themselves their outfit for the pageants. I thought there would be someone, some sort of stylist to help them out.
Dani!! I tried watching your video link, but it’s sending me to a site that want me to create an account and I just want to watch the vid. Did something go wrong on my end?? :(
@@DaniWalker The dress guide. It keeps taking me to a site that asked me to create an account with them, set up email ect. No videos, nothing to read, just keeps asking me to create a new email account after I already created a username and password.
Hi Dani Walker! I was in a pageant once and this girl was wearing the EXACT same dress as me! But I still Don't get why judges make such a big deal about it.
It's not a big deal to judges but it doesn't help you as a contestant. You want to be unique and stand out. If you're wearing the same dress as another contestant, you won't get that effect.
The two blue dresses you’ve never seen little girls win in... Last year my friends daughter and a younger contestant won wearing that second dress you said not to wear😅 I though the dresses looked soo much better online but they both won their division! I think ages 4 and 13!
@daniwalker, I am 29, and competing in my very first pageant, Miss Supranational Namibia 2022 in end March. I have been doing research and watching your videos. How do I get in contact with you for a one on one session please? Warm regards Simone
I would also mention to stay away from those horrible stacked stripper heels that have become so popular. At least they are starting to trend away from the style, but I still see way too much of them.
Here in the Philippines we have lots of dress shops and for example , you wore a gown from a dress shop and right after you wore that gown the dressmaker would edit some of the parts of the dress so it would not look like the one that you wore on the peagent *by the way we do not buys dresses here we just rent it 😅
I wore a ball gown to my first pageant and won 2 titles. Wear what ever makes you feel confident ladies. Not everything is by the book.
Exactly! I'm going to wear a gown that isn't the typical pageant gown, but I love how it looks on me. I'm going to wear it to my next pageant.
Yes! 👏🏻 I've been doing pageant for years and that's the best advice I could give-- wear what makes you feel confident in your skin!
Thank you for this! I bought a strapless pageants dress, it has a corset kindve thing. I’m 14 so I was scared that I would look to inappropriate

Cj Coming from a Pageant Girl ir Woman 👠 Dillards is way to Miss America emphasizrd,but it is very appropriate for other types of pageants.

How do you keep them so white?

I'm thinking of doing it over 40 pageant and what cracks me up is the interview outfits is what I would actually wear to a formal job interview. I have an entire wardrobe of these.
I'd love a part 2 of tips on wardrobe also like what colors work on stage.
Unfortunately there's no set guidelines for that because it depends on what looks great on each person, the staging, and lighting of a particular stage. There's a lot of factors.
I’m plus size and extremely self conscious and have low self esteem so I started pageants! I just bought a beautiful gown with roses!
I hope you're gaining some confidence through pageantry. Good luck on your pageant journey :D
Good luck to you!
