Absolutely. The norm for pageant dresses is super stretch. However it's not my personal favorite to sew on. Many designers don't ever use superstretch. Superstretch stretches wonderfully around the body. Making it great fabric option for an easy fit.
I have personally used Bridal Fabrics, Cotton fabric base with an organza overlay. Sparkle stretch fabrics. I had a mom supply me with an "unknown" content type fabric, that was just gorgeous and was fantastic to work with. She purchased from a discount house, that worked beautifully on the bodice, and I have searched and searched and never found anything like it again.
So yes, many other fabrics can be used.
