My daughter is 2 years old and was in her first pageant last month. She won first place in every category in her age division and now we are going to state! I don't know what kind of sportswear to have her in. The rules are:
Sportswear-Should be tailored; no active sportswear, schoolwear, or playwear. Rhinestones, colored stones, bugle beads, Rochelle beads, and sequins may NOT be used. Lame' cannot be used for sportswear attire, but may be used as ribbons, sashes, cording, trim, and hair accesories. Colored, gold and silver studs may be used.

What does this mean for me? I can't find anything in a 2T that doesn't look like schoolwear that doesn't have stones or beads or sequins, etc. Does anyone out there have any suggestions? I found two outfits on Hollywood Babe, but are those clothes appropriate in this situation? Any advice would be appreciated! I am very nervous for my little girl...I almost passed out taking her on stage for the first pageant. I just hope I do better at state! Thanks and feel free to e-mail me at Rhonda@BabyMeTwice.com

>You must be competing in Little Miss NC! Let me first wish you bunches of luck!!! I hope your little girl has a ball. On to your question...I think you might want to look into having something made for her. The sportswear that I think they're looking for is a tailored suit (if it's especially made then it'll fit to a T!) Maybe have some cording on the jacket and down the outside of the pants leg. Be sure the shoes match the primary color of the outfit...the color should flow. Also, a matching hat might be cute. I don't recommend an outfit that is to "busy" you know with lots of "Stuff" on it. When I'm judging it just seems to take away from the child.
Instead of a two piece suit, you could try a jumpsuit with a matching jacket. One thing I would do is ask to see pictures of what the contestants wore last year. That would definetly help. I've found it hard to find stuff like that her in NC without having it especially made or ordering it. Ask the reiging queens moms for help. Best of Luck!

What you said is exactly what I was thinking, but it's so hard to decide when it is actually your child, you know? Anyway, thank you for your help and I'll definately think about the custom sportswear.
