When you are shopping for a pageant, the key is to find a dress that makes a crowd go wild. Just because you love a particular dress does not mean you should purchase it. Be sure to consider what the audience will think of a particular dress you pick out. You want the audience to go crazy and love your dress. If you are having trouble finding the perfect gown, then try asking other people what they think of your dress. If you can get good opinions on your dress, then it is likely a dress that you should get for a pageant.

express has amazing dresses some expensive, but some you can find may have good deals.. or shop online, discounts are more probable.
My baby cousin was in a pageant and she won first place.
go to a retail store that sells those dresses and ask them what is needed to do such thing. or offer if you can find employment in another way and find your way to selling the dresses for that store. good luck.
a local pageant is either a preliminary pageant, meaning that it is kind of practice for another pageant, or a state pageant, which lets in any girl meeting the age requirements from your state. a good pageant to try is American coed
Lightinthebox is very good. Prettyimpress is cheaper.
Try Ebay, forever 21 or yesstyle, they have cheap yet cut , sexy, sophisticated dresses. tip: for yesstyle if you go to dresses, go to the last number because they have some good looking dresses in the back.
