Searching for the Perfect Dress

You finally have somewhere fancy to go!  You’ve pinned, Googled and surfed the internet in search of the perfect dress for your big night out.  Then the reality check:  the actual act of shopping, is often not nearly as simple and glamorous as you had imagined.  At the tulle + dye shoppe I have hundreds of gorgeous designer gowns in all shapes, sizes, styles and colors and I can help you find the dress of your dreams.
I spent over fifteen years in marketing for the Miss Universe Pageant organization as well as Ford Models’ Supermodel of the World program and have worked with girls from every state and over 96 countries worldwide.  I have had the pleasure of meeting numerous international designers over the years and the miles and have carefully chosen several to represent right here in Santa Clarita.  While I do carry the ever-popular Sherri Hill line, I have tried to bring fresh, new designers to the area such as Johnathan Kayne from Project Runway, up-and-comer ASHLEYLauren, fun and flirty Madison James, Canada’s colorful Angela & Alison, and super glam Scala USA.
One of the most important things I’ve learned while shopping with the Miss Universe Miss USA and Miss TEEN USA winners is that one must keep an open mind.  First, the hanger never does a gown justice and second, the 5’11” stick figure in the magazine photograph only represents a minute percentage of the female population.  Be open to trying different styles and colors until you find the one that is most flattering to your body shape and skin tone.   In addition, a dress budget should allow for alterations.  Go the extra mile and have the dress properly fitted, so it looks like it was made just for you.
Even more important to remember when choosing a gown is that it’s not the dress that makes you beautiful, it’s the way you feel when you’re wearing it that counts.  I’ve seen young women win pageants in one-of-a-kind designer gowns worth thousands of dollars and I’ve seen winners in simple dresses made by a beloved Granny or next-door neighbor.  If you love it and you feel pretty in it, it’s going to radiate from the inside.
