Pageant & Prom Dress Tips from Tony Bowls

Check out this Article written by Kellie Davis (Pageant Examinar) for helpful dress advice! 


Prom dress vs. winning pageant dress

"Tony Bowls is a man who loves fabric and he loves making pretty women look beautiful."

"He explained to me that prom and evening gowns are influenced by the Red Carpet and Hollywood in general. They are stylish, trendy and fun. Pageant gowns are all about the first impression. Mr. Bowls says that “It’s not only about a woman’s style but also the gown shape that best compliments her figure on the stage and shows off an amazing silhouette she can present in a poised and confident manner. It has to have an appealing, complimentary color and the perfect overall fit.” He emphasizes the importance of making an individual statement about style that makes the judges want to find out more about the woman in the gown, something that they can only find out if they choose her as the winner, since the interviews are over by the time the contestants appear on stage."

Tips:
  • If a woman is petite, she should be aware of overly elaborate or over-the-top gowns that will swallow up her tiny frame.  Instead, she should look for simple and sleek gowns with strapless or V-necklines and A-line or fitted silhouettes that fit closer to the body.
  • If she has an athletic, boy-shaped body, she should show off her toned arms and back with a sleeveless gown or low back bodice. She should also look for a belted or fitted waistline to create more of a feminine shape.
  • Hourglass ladies look great in halter necklines that properly support a large bust. A trumpet or mermaid skirt with a dropped waistline also accentuates this figure beautifully.
  • Curvy, full figured gals look fabulous in flowing Empire waist gowns as well as classic A-lines.
  • Also, if a woman has a smaller bustline, she should wear something that adds emphasis to her chest.
