FORMAL WEAR UPDATE!
NAM stands for National American Miss, duh. But, it really stands for something more:
Natural. Aspiring. Modern.
Everything we do, as state directors, we keep these 3 words in mind.
This year - we've applied these words to our Formal Wear Contest! Nationally, we've updated our wardrobe rules!
So, why the change? Listen, we value being age appropriate. However, our goal is to make finding a Formal Wear dress easy for you and your family. This should be fun and hopefully something you already have in your closet. So, we've opened up the rules more to reflect his.
Here are the wardrobe changes:
Princess, Jr. Pre-Teen, Pre-Teen:
1. Now can have a train or a sweep of any length attached to their dress (listen carefully - this is at your discretion. She needs to be able to walk confidently! Please take safety and ease into consideration. It may be too difficult for your little one to have a train and walk up stairs and on stage with it. Also, there is always someone behind you who might not notice your train - whether its the girl in line behind you, a hotel guest on the elevator of the host pageant hotel, a grandma walking down the hallway, etc.)
Jr. Teen, Teen, & Miss:
1. Now can have a train or a sweep of any length attached to their dress (listen carefully - this is at your discretion. You need to be able to walk confidently. Please take safety and ease into consideration. There is always someone behind you and they won't always notice your train - whether it's the girl in line behind you, a hotel guest on the elevator of the host pageant hotel, a grandma walking down the hallway, etc.)
2. Now you will be able to rock the stage in an age-appropiate two piece formal wear gown!
Be sure to review the 2018 Magazine #1 (which will be out shortly both one online and in print) for all the details and rules, so you don't miss out.
