Pageant Packing List So, it’s that time and you’re ready to go to the final to win your dream pageant title

Competition Wardrobe Use a dress bag for each round so for me it’s interview, opening and formal/evening. It’s best to have them in the correct order you need them in and then label them with your name, title, and the round.

Inside the dress bag put your shoes at the bottom in another bag and a smaller Ziplock (also labelled)bag add your jewellery and hair accessories that you will be needing. Whether you have a Make-up artist and hair stylist or not make a note in the smaller bag of how you want your hair and make-up so you don’t forget ·Interview outfit ·Rehearsal outfit ·Opening round outfit ·Fashion wear ·Formal Wear ·Any other stage outfit such as Swimwear, Fitness, National Costume etc ·Stage shoes ·Interview Shoes ·Stage Shoes
