Pageant FAQs

We do NOT require appointments, but they are HIGHLY suggested due to the volume of prom or homecoming season shoppers. When booking an appointment, we can make sure a pageant consultant will be ready and prepared for you. We will be able to accommodate to you one-on-one and do the research needed to provide you top-notch expertise!

PAGEANT DRESSES WILL BE REGISTERED BY PAGEANT!

  • We will not sell the same dress (even in a different color) to the same pageant.
  • We will register your dress based on what you tell us you are competing for. If it is a local pageant (such as MAO), we will register it by your division and not sell the same dress to another girl with who you may potentially compete.
  • Disclaimer
    Our registry does not affiliate with another store that carries the same designer brand- It only tracks our sales and our customers.
    Our dress registry will reset each season and is only registered to the season it is purchased for.
  • Please make sure hands are clean before handling dresses, and be careful with make up and/or spray tans when dressing.
  • Only 4 dresses per customer trying on are allowed. This helps us keep dresses on the floor for other customers to shop through.
  • No one in your party is allowed to grab or hold onto more dresses until you have tried on your first 4 dresses and eliminated the ones you don't like.
  • Only 1 girl and 1 dress provided by a staff member are allowed to be in the dressing room at once. The rest will be on the rack!
  • ONLY staff members are allowed to zip dresses. Please do not try to zip or lace yourself to preserve the quality of our dresses.
  • Keep the hanger inside the clear bag and hanging on the wall rack together. *Please do not pull the clear bag around the hanger to take the dress out*
  • All dresses should be stepped into. Please do not attempt to put them over your head.
  • If you feel like a tight-fitted dress will not go past your hips, please ask the staff member working with you if there would potentially be another size to try on. *This helps us keep zippers, hooks, and material intact so that we don't have damaged dresses for customers to try on!*
  • Absolutely NO dresses should be left on the floor.
  • Please hand the dress you're taking off to the staff member helping you before you try on the next dress.
  • Please do not ask moms, friends, boyfriends, etc., into the dressing room to help you.
  • Swapping dresses with friends in dressing rooms is not allowed. Once you try on your 4, you may grab any dresses that have been put back out on the floor and step back in line.
  • If you have eliminated dresses from your grouping, you are welcome to select more as long as you only have 4 dresses in your hand at a time.
  • Once you have tried on your 4 dresses, you will exit the dressing room to rotate the next person in line to keep the traffic flow moving. You may step back into the line when you have your next 4!

PLEASE WAIT FOR A STAFF MEMBER TO EXPLAIN THE FLOOR LAYOUT BEFORE BROWSING!

This will make it much easier for you to navigate the dress racks and where to shop for what you are looking for!
PLEASE KEEP YOUR PARTY TOGETHER WHEN TRYING ON!
Anyone who comes with you to shop needs to stay with you when you are trying on in the dressing rooms. We ask that friends and family do not continue to shop or try to add more dresses to your pile until you are finished trying on and ready to go back on the floor to browse again.
PLEASE DO NOT ENTER A DRESSING ROOM WITHOUT A STAFF MEMBER!
If you are a bridal or pageant appointment, your consultant will take your dresses to your dressing room and get you started.
If you are a prom shopper, you will step in line with your 4 dresses and wait for our staff member working the dressing room rotation to direct you to your designated Jade Girl staff.
