white short ruffle dress Sassy Shortcake Sweet Sorbet Featuring a pretty Desiree Ruffle Mini Dress |

Pageant contestants wear their competition gown through rehearsals, through the actual competition, through photographs, and in some cases through multiple rounds of competition

What we like: 100% waterproof, highly practical, unique and fun style

But does this style work for certain body types better than others

Adding a breezy flair to the ensemble, illusion tulle intertwines with intricate lace patterns, creating a mesmerizing effect as if the lace delicately floats on the skin

Adding feminine details, a small bow accents the sweetheart neckline and delicate scalloped lace trims the straps and extends beyond the hemline

What I shop for in this category: Bodycon minis that still feel breathable Cut-out details (tasteful, not fussy) Sleek fabrics that look clean in photos Comfort check: If the dress is fitted, I make sure I can sit, walk, and breathe
