Absolu Elle, leading pageant training academy in India writes week after week on topics related to pageantry and personality development.
Our topic for today is Pageant Shopping.
We women love Shopping but pageant shopping can be lots of fun in the beginning but as pageant gets closer Shopping does not only get tiring, it exhausts you to another level.
As pageant groomer I always believe pageant training should begin at least a year prior than your pageant.
You can prep with your gym activities, practice your introduction, ramp walk, Q n A and makeup. You can try various looks with makeup, try different hairstyles, keep yourself updated with current affairs.
There is lot to do before you step out for pageant shopping.
Keep your pageant list ready. It’s helpful, you exactly know what you need.
Sit down with your pageant groomer and decide the number of dresses you want and also different rounds like National costume,  Resort wear, Traditional round, photoshoot round, Evening gown, Swimming costume round and many more.
You have to buy your dress according to your rounds, with that you need accessories, head gears, props( with your national costume round), two pairs of footwear for grooming sessions at the pageant and other fancy footwear if you get an opportunity to wear.
Research about the stores and places where you can find pageant dresses. These days online shopping from Myntra, Nyka fashion, Urbanic are good options, there return policy makes online shopping easy.
Look for some bright colors of clothes. You should look like a head turner at the pageant.
With pageant dresses good lingerie is also very important. Good brands are important like the Victoria secret, La Sanza, Enamor,  Marks and Spencer, hunkemoller are few good brands.
Make sure you wear seamless panties under all your dresses and good fitting bra is also very important.
Boob tapes are also good options for backless dresses and low cleavage dresses.
Beautiful nightwear shopping is must. Buy according to number of days, try picking up something from home, 2 you can buy of bright colors.
Tote bag is good to carry all your stuff from room to grooming session room. The bag will have good deodorant,  basic makeup, energy bars, some nuts and sneakers ( a change once your rampwalk grooming session is over) you can change to more comfortable pair of shoes.
Keep atleast15 days for shopping before pageant. So that you do not forget. It also includes your hair pins and other hair accessories and other accessories ad well matching with your dresses.
Shopping is endless and unlimited. Only shop what’s important and is useful for the pageant.
