When preparing for a pageant so many things must be done before the pageant week. Delegates need ways to save money when faced with all the expenses involved in entering a pageant. Expenses include, but are not limited to, hair care and styling, make-up, entry fees, travel, photos, program ads and clothing! Now, one thing is made simple for you... wardrobe!

"Thinking about my experience in pageantry, one of the biggest expenses is clothing," says Lauren Wanger, owner of The Pageant Superstore.

Clothing requirements can include outfits for orientation, rehearsal, weekend events, dinners, and competition! That means interview suit, swim wear or fitness attire, fashion wear, and evening gown! How does a contestant afford it all? And, can one look great without breaking the bank?

Lauren Wanger thinks she has the answer and it is The Pageant Superstore, who says her service is "fast, easy, and most importantly, affordable!"

Recently there has been an resurgence of online pageant consignment shops. These online stores allow women to buy all of their pageant apparel for low prices. When the show is over, women can go back and sell their items for just a few dollars.

"I have been in the pageantry industry for about five years," says Lauren Wanger, who currently holds the title of Ms. United States 2007. "I did not know anything about pageant consignment and purchased all my clothing brand new and at retail prices. After being around for a few more years, I decided to design a web site that allows women to buy and sell their pageant clothing."

After learning web design, Lauren started www.pageantsuperstore.com. She strived to create a user friendly site where women would have easy access to great clothing.

"In addition, as a national title holder, I realized I could not wear the same outfit twice because of photographs posted on the web and in newspapers and magazines!" laments Lauren. "I needed a new outfit for every appearance!"

Developing www.pageantsuperstore.com allowed Lauren to buy competition clothes at an afforadable price and then sell them in order to keep up with her appearance schedule demands.
