Subject: Tiny Tot Groups

I know most everything on here is about Wee Miss, but my daughter is younger and we don't really know what to expect. We have done very few pageants and are NOT on the glitzy end of the scale. I would like for her to do well, that's the whole reason anyone does this, but i also don't want to get "crazy" about it.I don't have $500 to spend on a dress (esp. after paying fees/photo) but I want her to be competitive. Any advise out there? I have no idea who else is in this or how well we stack up. Just like any other mother out there I think my child is beautiful, but doesn't every one! I just want to know what to expect..and what the judges are looking for in a younger child!!And does the dress have much to do with it? You would think if you have this awesome dress of course your child will stick out...but isn't there more to it??? Thanks for the help!!

In the tiny tot groups, the dress doesn't matter. The score is based on "grooming." Children in prelim dresses have won the titles just as often as girls in glitz dresses. Also for pics, don't go out and spend a fortune. The judges are looking for the natural photos. A national winning child who competed with my daughter two years ago didn't even win any of the photogenic events. It was a child who had Walmart pics that won ALL the photo categories. She was also the ONLY non-glitz child that year in that Tiny Tot category. Keep it simple and natural. Your goal is to make sure your child has fun on the stage - Hope this advice helps.

After my child had successfully competed in pageants from the age of 3-12, the biggest winning edge I believe she had was not looks (you are right, there are many different beautiful girls out there), not the expense of the dress (except when stepping up to the state or national arena), but her smile and personality. More people remembered my kid for the happiness that glowed when she was on stage than anything else. And, now that I have sat in the judges seat on multiple occasions, I can honestly tell you that when a child is looking straight at you with a fabulous glow on their face, you can forgive her for the little string hanging off her dress. The priceless sweet smile of an innocent child will far surpass any expense of a high-priced garment!
