Hi! My dd has decided she wants to be in a pageant. She is going to be in a natural one in about a month. I am a clothing designer, but have never even thought about designing a pageant dress. She just turned 6 last week. She is VERY tall for her age, probably looks about 8, is a babydoll dress better than a cupcake? And is black and white zebra as an accent with pink as the main color too much for a pageant? I don't want her to stand out in a bad way. Her age group is 4-6. Thanks!

I have been designing pageant attire for little girls for over 9 years now and for adults for over 11 years. Baby doll dresses are really not for about 5 year olds and up. You can do it but since she is so tall it will take away from her. Also there is nothing wrong with zebra and pink but I would really do pink with some zebra...does that make sense? For example make her a cupcake skirt and fitted bodice out of the pink then decorate it with some, not over kill, zebra. Honestly because of her age and you saying the pageant is natural, it might be best to make her a long pink dress and do the waist tie in zebra or something along those lines. Cupcake skirts are more for semi-glitz to full glitz pageants. Does that make sense? Natural pageants want to focus on her face only and then the dress last if they have time. lol

Thank you! Yes, that does make sense about the color. Does the dress have to be floor length or will a knee length be ok? Since she will be competing against 4 year olds I don't want her to look completely different than they do. Unless that will be a good thing. I just can't imagine judging a 4 and 6 y.o.'s against each other. They are so different. Thanks again!
