Free Dress for a Queen - My 2008 Plus American Pageant Diary
Day 5-15-08My gorgeous sexy pageant gown arrived today-special delivery! Though
it was a very short wait, I had to fight the urge to stalk the mail carrier. How
could I not be excited about the perfect evening gown?! Let me backtrack a
little. I am a curvy pageant queen. After quite a few years out of the royal
spotlight, I am once again competing. Of course, I want to make my big comeback
in new clothes! Money is tight but where there is a will there is a way. I have
no shame admitting that I was doing a search for cheap dresses when I came
across NextEve.com. Expecting to find a choice of 2 or 3 dowdy selections for
plus sized women (like the other sites I visited) I was not ready for what I
found!
It was formal gown heaven. Any gown that my little heart desired would
fit my ample beautiful curves! NO limits set by size availability. The styles of
dresses were diverse; elegant ball gowns, sexy sheaths, cute and flirty cocktail
dresses. Though I was looking for a pageant gown, I had to browse every inch of
the site!!! All of a sudden, there it was staring back at me- my 14K golden
dream dress. I am sooooo ready for the pageant's evening gown competition.Day
5-28-08A month from today I get to strut my stuff in my beautiful evening gown.
It's amazing how an awesome gown can transform a woman. Not only by looks. You
feel like you are queen of the world! It changes your walk to almost a floating
glide.
Your posture becomes straight and tall. How wonderful it is to feel as
beautiful as you look!Though I am a curvy girl, I chose a sheath style dress. A
sheath dress is completely form fitting. Most of the gowns you see on
celebrities at awards shows are of sheath design-yes, second skins. My dress
isn't skin tight but it is worthy of gracing the red carpet. It kind of has a
sexy French lingerie look to it. Gorgeous warm gold satin has a lace overlay at
the waist with boning that resembles a corset. The bust line is caressed in
pleated black tulle netting. The skirt has an overlay of black tulle netting
also for a soft romantic touch. I am so in awe of this evening gown! It's like
getting an engagement ring-you can't stop looking at it...then you look at it
once more to make sure it's still there! Now I have to figure out a killer
hairstyle to compliment it.
