Your point being that an inexpensive gown can win. So, girls can win in inexpensive gowns at MKO as well so it shouldn't hurt them. If they have the goods they can even purchase a used gown. I don't think girls purchasing expensive gowns is hurting the pool of girls competing. Just because someone can purchase an expensive gown doesn't meant they don't also have the talent to go with it or vise versa. You proved your own point with your post opening. They just need to show up if they have the talent and the rest to go with it. There were expensive gowns in the top placers last year as well as off the rack prom so it was pretty mixed.

What did Miss KY Teen do that was "trashy"? -- No name, 00:34:10 01/14/14 Tue i was told she couldn't pose at all and was acting like she was drunk on stage. after seeing pictures of her she looks like the typical unkempt teen. there was nothing "pageant" about her! -- more, 09:54:54 01/14/14 Tue she was even first runner up last year thats what blows my mind (NT) -- No name, 12:00:05 01/14/14 Tue What a joke! -- No name, 16:30:07 01/14/14 Tue
I agree w/ gowns. I will be totally honest that my daughter has done co . Fair pageants b/c it used to be that the gowns werent so costly. She is very talented and we have been approached by several directors begging her to do mkot. We just can NOT afford the gowns :(	No name	21:12:44 01/13/14 Mon
My other two cents.... -- No name, 23:29:21 01/13/14 Mon
A gown can't win you a pageant.....nor can it keep you from winning.	If you have the smarts and the talent, your gonna be fine.	22:22:19 01/13/14 Mon
I disagree, I think a gown can TOTALLY keep you from winning (NT) -- No name, 12:01:05 01/14/14 Tue It would have to be a really bad gown. If the contestant has the rest of it. (NT) -- The director can change a gown before Nationals, 12:09:33 01/14/14 Tue You think the director is going to pay for it?? Thats why they want girls from affluent families-- they can afford to change the dress!! -- No name, 12:34:04 01/14/14 Tue Elizabeth provides the gown for nationals.. So the director nor family has to afford it. -- No name, 18:13:06 01/14/14 Tue Totally agree-- hard to compete w/ custom gowns (NT) -- No name, 12:36:46 01/14/14 Tue I think the biggest problems with custom gowns and some of the teens is they have nothing else to go along with the wardrobe. The wardrobe is not going to get you the crown if you dont have the interview, talent, or stage presence (NT) -- No name, 13:18:14 01/14/14 Tue Gowns -- No name, 22:28:57 01/14/14 Tue i do agree. I love seeing all the gowns and it is so exciting to see what everyone will wear. (NT) -- No name, 09:17:06 01/15/14 Wed I have seen girls win in $8000 dresses and I have seen girls win in $39 dresses. The key point is the fit of the gown. -- No name, 15:23:41 01/14/14 Tue It has been a looooong time since a $39. Gown won state-- forgive me for laughing but .... Hahahaha -- No name, 23:18:11 01/14/14 Tue
