FAQ
Your 'needs to knows' on this year's Production Number!
Can I wear a previously purchased dress from Ashley Rene's?
We are asking each delegate to select a NEW cocktail dress or short romper from Ashley Rene's for the production number. Purchases made from your registration as an IJM Queen through December 15th are eligible. This is in lieu of the uniform production number dress (last year's ensemble was $375). Dresses will be registered with IJM so that we can ensure everyone secures their dress as well as plan for stage arrangement during finales (by color). The registration form has been emailed to contestants.
What will the production number be like? Will I have to dance?
This year's Finale Opening Production Number will feature less dance moves and more choreographed walking. Delegates will introduce themselves on-stage in their production number outfit and they will also be in this outfit during the announcement of finalists. Additionally, girls will wear this outfit during their division's Optional Awards Show after prelims.
We will be preparing some of this production number according to color, so you are required to register your selected dress and color with us by December 15th, 2024. The registration form is available here.
Do I have to wear a specific designer?
No, you are able to select from any designer carried by Ashley Rene's. AR carries all the biggest and best designers in pageantry, from ASHLEYlauren to Sherri Hill.
Can I do a hi-low dress or a romper instead?
UPDATE! Yes, short rompers are permitted. Please, no hi-lows or long rompers / jumpsuits. While we are expanding your selection to include rompers, we do still want to ensure no contestants are in anything full-length or with an overskirt/train.
Is there a way for me to secure my production number dress for free?
We're so glad you asked! YES! Ashley Rene's has a special offer that allows you to purchase your competition evening gown from them and receive a credit towards your production number dress --- depending on what cocktail you select, this credit may cover the cost of your dress.
