Over the years, I have made so many wonderful friends and business connections. One of my most cherished friendships that emcompasses both personal and business is with Elizabeth Cruse at Miss Priss in Lexington, KY.  We met years ago competing in Miss KY and we have remained friends ever since...proof that pageant sisterhood can last a lifetime!  

I was elated to create exclusive "Cutie Pie" Illustrations for Elizabeth for the 2016 Prom season for her garment bags and this year for the 2017 Prom season she has added my "Cutie Pies" to make cutie tees! Click here to purchase.

ABOUT MISS PRISS

If you truly want an in-person amazing shopping experience then making a visit to the Miss Priss White Mansion in Lexington, KY is the place for you! Once you enter Miss Priss you feel like a princess.  Elizabeth and her staff are some of the most knowledgeable in the prom and pageant business.  Her inventory is second to none in the the industry. I get a lot of questions about where to find the perfect gowns in person and I always tell them to go to Miss Priss first.  I realize that not everyone likes buying gowns online..and that's ok...so, I am fine sending my gown-needing-friends to great retailers to find their perfect look.  She has dressed many Miss America's, Miss America contestants and Miss USA contestants for years...the staff at Miss Priss has the taste and experience you can trust. --Heather French Henry, Miss America 2000

Most women believe they have to sacrifice comfort for fashion...especially when wearing an evening gown.  However, there are tricks to gliding effortlessly into any room without being afraid you will lose your top!  

The best hidden secret is to invest in a Long Line Bra.  The bra you see when you click on the link above is from JC Penny.  Most stores don't carry these in stock so you may need to purchase these online.  Simply wear this bra under any strapless dress and safety pin the top or middle of the cup of the bra to the padded cup or top of the bustline of the dress.  Believe me...you can do cartwheels and your dress will stay in place.  No more pulling your dress up or being nervous that with one wrong step you will flash the crowd!  

I personally use this trick with nearly every strapless gown I wear...especially the gowns that might be a bit too loose in the top. --Heather

I continue to search resources and other designers for gowns for every type of woman.  Searching for an evening gown does not have to be difficult but it can be.  When shopping for your perfect gown try on a bit of every style.  It is important to see yourself in many different necklines, colors, etc. Also, don't forget that the right under garments make the biggest difference...also taking heels with you is extremely important to get a feel for how your gown will truly fit. --Heather

I am delighted to show you new styles from fellow designers for great affordable prices. One of the most sought looks are gowns for a more mature customer...gowns that aren't looking to bare it all for the crowd.  I, too, have seen a growing need for more gowns with sleeves and greater chest coverage. I hope you enjoy what I have found recently and I will continue to be on the fashion look-out for a style that is perfect for you.  Don't forget to check out some of my couture looks...nothing beats a one-of-a-kind design for the one-of-a-kind you!
