Top 10 at Miss DE Teen USA 2018
My experience at Cecile’s was one of the best out of all the boutiques and dress shops I’ve been too. The staff is extremely helpful in finding the right dress for you. I had to get a new dress the weekend before an event and Jas helped me pick out the most beautiful dress in such short notice. All the dresses are amazing but the employees there are what makes Cecile Boutique so special. They welcome you with open arms to be a part of the Cecile family and that’s what sets them apart from other dress shops in the area.

I love Cecile boutique! Shana and her stylist helped to get me ready 100 percent for the Mrs. United States pageant, but even more importantly I trusted Shana with her style expertise for everything from shoes to accessories to my very important evening gown. I highly recommend Cecile boutique, and Shana and her team, to everyone whether getting ready for prom, a pageant, or a fun night out! Cecile Boutique will ensure that you are dressed impeccably for your event. I can't say enough about Shana's amazing style expertise and the confidence I felt walking on stage and interviewing throughout my time at Mrs. United States. She was an amazing part of my team in helping get me ready and my go-to person every step of the way.

2nd Runner Up to Miss DE Teen USA 2018
My experience at Cecile Boutique was amazing. The Cecile family was so welcoming and helpful throughout my pageant experience. Being styled, trained and having headshots taken by Cecile was incredibly helpful, and because of that I placed 2nd runner up in the Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant. The pageant training was extremely helpful, especially the interview portion. Shana makes sure you won’t go into a pageant blindsided. Walking lessons were also extremely helpful as well. No other dress shop compares to Cecile!

My Cecile Boutique is more than just a dress shop. They’re family. The experience every time is so warm and friendly. They are always sure to make me laugh, and feel like a princess. They are clear that their ultimate goal was making sure that I LOVED my dresses and wardrobe. I have personally known Shana for five years and ever since, she has made sure that I was going to be successful one hundred percent in every pageant I have competed in. I can’t wait to see them grown and continue my future endeavors with the team.

My experience with the pageant was amazing! I couldn't have done it without the help of Cecile Boutique. Steph and Jas helped me find the perfect dresses! They make sure you feel beautiful in all of their dresses. Mrs. Shana was a phenomenal coach. She helped me with being confident and elegant. Mia Jones helped teach me how to walk because I definitely did not know how to (lol). The ladies over at the boutique will always have a special place in my heart! They make it their duty to make every girl feel confidently beautiful.

Interview Winner – Miss DE Teen USA 2018
Cecile Boutique has the best pageant dresses around. There is no store like them, the workers are genuine and warm hearted. They helped me find my pageant gown and trust me, there are a lot to choose from! On top of finding my perfect wardrobe I got pageant coaching from both Ms. Shana Williams, a former Mrs. Delaware in 2011, and from Ms. Mia Jones, the former Miss Delaware USA. Shana helped me with my walk and interview. I felt very prepared and comfortable with Shana. She asks you questions that you would have never thought you would be asked. At the end of it I felt very prepared for my interview with the judges for Miss Delaware Teen USA pageant, and I won best interview all thanks to Shana. When it came to my walk she worked with me and pushed me to make sure I looked the best I can. Mia Jones helped me with my dance routine and walking in my evening gown dress. I never felt uncomfortable or judged in a negative way while working with Shana and Mia, they are both big hearted people and I am beyond excited to come back next year for the Miss Delaware USA pageant. Big thanks to Jasnoor Hundal and Stephanie Zampini for all their great help, and of course thank you Shana and Mia for making me feel like a strong woman while looking like a princess. Cecile Boutique is one of a kind!

Cecile Boutique always makes sure I look and feel my best! They’ve gone above and beyond for me to find the perfect dress on many occasions so I’m always confident in my wardrobe, especially when I attended Miss USA last summer! Shana introduced me to the Jovani It Girl Contest, which was such an incredible experience. They also took me to the Jovani showroom to help bring my dream pageant gown to life! So whether it’s rocking the stage at the your next pageant or feeling like a princess at prom, I know you’ll find the perfect dress at Cecile Boutique!

Cecile Boutique isn’t any other dress shop in Delaware. The first time I walked in the store, the Cecile family makes you feel like a princess. Finding my wardrobe for Miss Delaware Teen USA 2019 was absolutely amazing. Shana, Mia, Hilary, and Jas are the most helpful staff you could ever come across. All of their pieces are truly unique and unforgettable. Cecile is more than just a store. It’s a family. I was so blessed to work with Shana and Mia for coaching. They showed me how to be my best self and feel confident to capture the crown. I’m so thankful to have chosen Cecile Boutique during my pageant experience!

At Cecile Boutique you get more than a beautiful gown, you receive an experience that provides confidence and beauty in every step of the way. I had the privilege of attending Cecile’s grand opening a few years ago and fell in love with the owner, Shana Williams, and her story ever since. Having a Masters in Entrepreneurship I am a huge supporter of small owned businesses, especially when they are for the greater benefit of the community. Cecile Boutique has been an amazing part of my pageant journey. Stylist Mia Jones was a huge aspect of finding my winning gown for Miss Delaware USA 2019. After trying on only one gown I immediately knew it was the one. Now I have the honor of having Cecile dress and style me for the year as Miss Delaware USA 2019. I would recommend their services to anyone and everyone. Thank you for everything Shana!

Cecile Boutique has been more than a dream to work with. From the employees that greet you with excitement the moment you enter the store, carrying the essence of incredible customer service from start to finish, to the owner, Shana who has gone above and beyond to ensure I was dressed in the most stunning pieces I genuinely loved and felt my best in, I am so grateful for this sponsorship. Going to appearances knowing that I’m supported by such an amazing team of people at Cecile has made key reign that much more enjoyable. Some of my most fondest memories throughout this year have been getting to know the girls, working with Shana and in Cecile Boutique wardrobe. Being Miss Delaware USA 2023 has brought me in contact with some of Delaware's most amazing businesses and for me, Cecile is always at the top of the list.
