How to Decorate a Glitz National Pageant Dress?

A pageant dress is often worn by a woman in a competition that judges beauty, personality or talent. For many, the type of pageant dress a girl wears helps them make a first impression on the judges and gives them an extra boost of confidence when going out in front of the crowd. While each competition has their specific dress code, many beauty pageants feature beautiful and elegant gowns. To help your dress stand out, you can purchase a plain dress and decorate it to complement your style or personality.

1
Choose a pageant dress in the color and style of your choice. The color dress you choose should complement your skin, hair and eye color.

2
Sew on a beading trim along the edges of the dress, near the bodice and hem for a hint of sparkles. A beaded trim may be found at a craft or fabric store, and can enhance the dress subtly for a glamorous look. Beaded trim can also come as a lace with beads sewn on.

3
Secure sequins in a diamond pattern over the entire bodice. Choose a sequin color that complements the dress, or one that contrasts it to help them stand out.

4
Glue on flat back-style rhinestones to the bodice or along the hems to add sparkle for the competition. Use a fabric glue to secure rhinestones, because the formula will be more tacky and safe to use on a variety of fabrics.
