Meet Miss Pepperfest Supreme 2026, Elizabeth Smithson
Ā
Thereās nothing we love more at Elizabeth Dean Boutique than seeing one of our beautiful pieces become part of someoneās special story. And this story comes with a crown! š
We recently had the pleasure of interviewing Elizabeth Smithson of Gray, Tennessee, who was crowned Miss Pepperfest Supreme 2026āwearing a gorgeous gold sequin gown she found right here atĀ Elizabeth Dean Boutique!
Elizabeth is a hairstylist at Posh Collective in Kingsport and has been both a seller and customer at Elizabeth Dean Boutique for the past two years. She is married to Landon Smithson, and they have a two-year-old son, Waylon.Ā
Finding āThe Oneā at Elizabeth Dean
When it came time to find a gown for the pageant, Elizabeth decided to try something a little differentāshopping consignment.
And we are so glad she did!
Elizabeth said something kept telling her that she needed to shop at Elizabeth Dean Boutique. When she found the gown and tried it on, it fit like a glove, and she immediately knew it was the one. Ā Sometimes, the perfect dress really does find you!
Elizabeth had a wonderful experience shopping for her pageant gown at a consignment store and was thrilled to discover that she could find something beautiful, unique, and pageant-worthy without spending huge dollars at a traditional pageant or formalwear store.
And we think the crown proves she made a pretty good choice! š
Beautiful Dresses Have More Than One Story
One of our favorite things about consignment is knowing that a beautiful dress doesnāt have to be worn just once. It can be passed along, loved again, and become part of an entirely new memory.
In this case, one special gown went home with Elizabethāand ended up on the Miss Pepperfest Supreme 2026 stage!
Ā Elizabeth's story is also a great reminder to keep an open mind when shopping consignment, and proves you donāt have to pay full retail to look like a winner! Before shopping new for your next special occasion, shop consignment firstāyou never know when your perfect dress might be waiting for you at Elizabeth Dean Boutique. šš
We are so happy that little voice told Elizabeth to stop by Elizabeth Dean Boutiqueāand even happier that she listened!
Congratulations, Elizabeth! š
Congratulations to Elizabeth Smithson, Miss Pepperfest Supreme 2026! We are honored that Elizabeth chose a gown from our boutique for such a special occasion, and we wish her a wonderful year representing her title, enjoying the pageant world she loves, and continuing to give back to her community.
Thank you, Elizabeth, for being part of the Elizabeth Dean family for the past two years. We loved being a small part of your winning moment!
And ladies, the next time you need a special dress, come see us first. Your perfect gownāand maybe even a winning oneācould already be waiting for you at Elizabeth Dean Boutique! šš
