On Friday, July 25th, my dad drove me down to Clarksburg, West Viginia to be fitted for my National gown! Of course, I can't describe it to you because it is a secret!! But let's just say it is the most beautiful gown I have ever seen and it is very unique and different (which is exactly what I wanted)!!! I also picked out a swimsuit, white dress, and earrings for Nationals too while I was there at the boutique!!
Angela, the owner of Oliverio's, was amazing as she helped me choose the right colors and clothes for my body type. She was honest when something didn't look right which I appreciated. I was surprised how fast she altered the evening gown and even more surprised when she invited my dad and me to have supper at her house!! Her house is gorgeous and the spaghetti dinner was delicious!! The house was full of other Teen USA queens and Miss Ohio and Miss Michigan Elisabeth Crawford (my sister queen) were also there and former Miss USA Chelsea Cooley was there as well. We talked "pageant talk" for hours and I learned a ton! :)
On Saturday we all modeled at Oliverio's for a fashion show and also had a seminar with Chelsea Cooley. Her insight and tips were most helpful and she is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I had the opportunity to speak with her at the dinner on Friday night and she was very sweet to me and had great advice to offer me!
I can't wait for the judges (and everyone) to see my wardrobe for Nationals . . . especially the evening gown! The rest of the outfits are fantastic, but for me, it's the gown! I LOVE IT!!!!!!
