Part of the Mrs. Illinois Prize Package is going to Alyce Designs to pick out your very own gown. Walking in today seeing the walls of photos of queens that have walked that very warehouse, then stepping in to see rows upon rows of gowns was really something. The little girl inside of me giggled profusely...sparkles, sparkles and more sparkles.
I met Sherry, the nicest receptionist up front (she made sure I had something to drink and was cared for right away), then escorted by Phoebe who's been assisting and working with Alyce Designs for just about a year now (so very cute!) to meet Rene Hamm (also very nice to me), then on to meet Nathalie who was so very generous with her time. She brought an empty rack to fill with gowns (insert crazy girl squealing!), and then helped try things on. She was such a sweetheart.
I picked out a lovely gown and an adorable cocktail dress that I am sure will be put to good use. Please visit Alyce for some beautiful pieces to wear at:
You can be directed to a boutique near you. :)
Deepest gratitude to Alyce for her continued support of the Mrs. Illinois America Pageant, to Nathalie for her undivided attention, especially at this very busy time for her, and to Marcie and Julie for taking time out of their day for me.
Pictures are:
