Will I wear this dress again?

"Will I wear this dress again" is a question asked by many a pageant contestant and pageant mom.  It should be, because it's a very valid question.  When looking for the perfect pageant gown, you're sort of stuck in a quandry.  On one hand you don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on a gown you may only wear once, yet you don't want to wear a gown you've previously competed in.  Hmmmm, what's a girl (or mom) to do.

Fortunately, there are great websites like Pageant Resale, and The Pageant Planet, to name a few, where you can place your items online for resale to the highest bidder our outright purchaser.  If you are looking for a competition gown, you can really consider this your "Pageant Look for Less" site as these dresses are often selling for a fraction of the cost since they've been previously worn.

Of course, you must be careful when buying and completely up front when selling, but otherwise it's a win - win.  Remember to read the fine print as well as terms and conditions of any site you select to resale or purchase your gown, as they will vary, to make sure you completely understand what you are getting yourself into.
