pageant dress testimonial

Nikki Librizzi showed off in two gorgeous Rissy Roo's dresses over the past few months, and we're obsessing just a little (or a lot). She attended her prom back in May, and in June she competed in the America's National Teenager Scholarship Organization (ANTSO) Pageant and walked away with a crown! Of course, she dressed in style in Sherri Hill dresses for both events. Read on to see what she wore to her prom and pageant and what title she won at the ANTSO pageant.

Nikki At Her Prom

For prom, Nikki chose Sherri Hill 50157, a gorgeous two piece gown. This spectacular creation features a dazzling jeweled illusion crop to with an open back and a fitted jersey skirt with matching beadwork along the waistline. The dress also features a front slit to show off just the right amount of leg.  Continue reading →

This is almost too cute to believe. One of our littlest Roo Girls, Ryleigh Flynn,  just placed as the third Runner Up in the 2016 Miss Sugar Pageant, and she looks absolutely adorable! Ryleigh's mom, Jamie, recently sent us photos in her winning Rissy Roo's dress, both on stage and with her trophy. All of our hearts are melting at Rissy Roo's!

When Jamie sent us the pictures, she included the note:

"Her dress came in and fit perfect! Thank you! She placed third in her pageant! She participated in the [Miss Sugar] pageant with 10 beautiful girls and is eager to do it all again next year! The dress came in and it fit her like a glove!"

-Jamie Flynn, Ryleigh's mom

Ryleigh chose Lexie by Mon Cheri TW21534 as her pageant dress, a great choice for both pageants and parties. It's a lace and taffeta above-the-knee A-line dress with cap sleeves and a bateau neckline. The stunning lace bodice has a hand-beaded waistband and a full circular gathered taffeta skirt. It makes for such a sweet look for any young girl!  Continue reading →

We're so excited and proud to announce that our very own Teghan Gregson has recently been crowned the Miss New Hampshire Outstanding Teen 2016! Teghan had come by the Rissy Roo's store in Linwood, NJ earlier this year during Miss America weekend in Atlantic City, NJ to find a perfect dress for her own pageant, and she certainly did find that perfect dress because she's now a pageant queen!

Teghan's mom, Erica, recently sent us some beautiful pictures of Teghan all dressed up, with some very kind words to accompany the pictures. Check out what she had to say below.

"We just wanted to send some pictures and elt you know that Teghan Gregson was crowned Miss New Hampshire's Outstanding Teen 2016 in a gorgeous Sherri Hill gown that we bought from you on Miss America weekend! Thank you for the gorgeous gown that also won the preliminary award for evening wear and onstage question. And the perfect earrings to match!"

-Erica Gregson, Teghan's mom

We certainly know why Teghan won the evening wear preliminary award - that dress, of course! She picked a look that couldn't have been more unique in her pink and black Sherri Hill dress. All eyes were certainly on Teghan in her beautiful pageant look. The bold pink skirt, paired with the sparkly black top, and curve accentuating features made for a show-stopping pageant dress look.  Continue reading →

In November, one of our Roo Girls that we sponsored in her state pageant, Sophia Hadeka, was crowned Miss Vermont Teen USA 2013, and we were so proud of her! We wrote a blog post about her winning the pageant earlier this year, but she recently sent in a very nice thank you note and pictures, that we had to make sure to share them with you! Check them out below.

Here's Sophia's thank you note:

And, here are some pictures of her in her winning Rissy Roo's dress:

Thank you so much, Sophia, for sending in the touching note and gorgeous photos! We hope to see you at Rissy Roo's in September! Good luck competing in the Miss Teen USA Pageant - we'll be rooting for you!

A huge congratulations goes out to Kelcie Klaus for winning Miss Gloucester County 2013 on November 3, 2012! She looked so stunning in her Rissy Roo's dress - we're so proud of her!

She recently sent us the picture above of her being crowned, with some very kind words to accompany it:

"I want to thank the girls of Rissy Roo's in Linwood for helping me find the perfect dress! After trying on countless dresses,  the honest employees helped to narrow my choices and choose a lovely orange gown right off the rack! The dress fits perfectly and held up so well! I have competed wearing my Rissy Roos gown in five Miss New Jersey preliminary locals, steamed the dress countless times,  and has been to the seamstress twice for length yet the dress looks as good as new! Thank you so much for offering a large selection of dresses and helpful  employees to make my decision an easy one!"

Miss Gloucester County is the official local pageant to qualify for the Miss New Jersey & Miss America pageants, so we're proud that she's from the very same state that Rissy Roo's is from! Now that she proudly wears the Miss Gloucester County crown, she'll be moving on to compete for Miss New Jersey - we wish her the best of luck!
