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
