"Next we're going to go to formal wear. Formal should be also classy but something that stands out. This what I would say would classify as formal wear because if the other girls are wearing suits, well if everyone else is wearing a suit, you might want to wear a suit too. But the key is to look a little bit more than everyone else. It's good to have a few suits with you that are flattering, that are, the slim cut is always good, that it shows off your figure. Nothing baggy or that something that looks used, it should look new and fitting. Theres a good trick that I've learned from another beauty queen who's been teaching me. If you don't have, if you're not very busty, you can make small cuts in formal dresses that have straps because you can't wear a bra with this, and you can stuff it up inside and no one will ever know. It's a good one if you're not very busty, it really gives a little extra something. Formal wear shouldn't be too flashy but if you have a little something, like this one has some small details. Nothing too much, nothing over the top because, anyway it shouldn't be, it shouldn't look like a disco dress but you should have some details to attract attention and get you to stand out. If this one was just plain black, you would probably be quite boring. You can accessorize the suits, that would make it more interesting. You can wear a plain suit with a big necklace or big earrings, bracelets, anklets are also good. That would make it interesting without it looking too flashy. Even when you're in a suit you should remember to look girlie. You should look smart and sophisticated but remember that you are in a beauty pageant. So, thats formal wear."
