Subject: Gown for Nationals Rules Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 10:09:42 05/24/26 Sun Author Host/IP: NoHost/140.248.44.1 What exactly are the new rules for getting your gown for Miss America? Do you have to go to Henri’s or a gown shop in your state to purchase a gown? Or can only a gown shop in your state sponsor your gown? Can you work directly with a designer (although that is more common for USA than MAO)? [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date The rule is to pick the most matronly and conservative gown possible. Jk although that seems to be the MAO style. Girls can do anything their hearts desire. They don’t have to go to one specific place but typically a state will have a store that sponsor’s the winner and they have to pick from that store’s inventory.

(NT) -- if they don't use Henri's, does that keep them from the crown?, 18:49:06 05/24/26 Sun (162-204-108-238.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net/162.204.108.238) no they have not. (NT) -- No name, 22:17:28 05/24/26 Sun (jccgw.org/38.103.18.69) Does that stop a girl from working directly with an overseas designer? (NT) -- No name, 21:09:18 05/24/26 Sun (NoHost/146.75.248.0) If the store has the connection to the designer, that is allowed. Most stores will take the titleholders to NY or to Atlanta/Dallas Markets to meet with designers (NT) -- No name, 21:17:49 05/24/26 Sun (c-68-80-167-64.hsd1.pa.comcast.net/68.80.167.64) Does anyone wear off the rack anymore?

Saw that dress everywhere, but she made it her own.

It's just a rule handed down by a power-hungry idiot just because she can (NT) -- No name, 09:12:11 05/25/26 Mon (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82)
