Having matching opening number dresses is simply a way to funnel money back to the sponsor and also probably a portion of it goes back to the pageant. That's why you don't get to pick your own dress. -- Unofficial Miss NC Messageboard

In 2022 they were allowed to wear anything black. Some wore cocktail and some wore pantsuits. Much cheaper than adding on a 300.00 expense for the contestants. (NT) No name 08:00:22 03/23/26 Mon

2022 was a one off because a few girls were not able to get their size, specifically larger size and they complained. The sponsor ended up being stuck with them, I think. Opening number outfits are a fundraiser for the organization. Miss NC isn’t making any money so they’ve got to bring in money somehow. (NT) -- No name, 09:39:09 03/25/26 Wed
