Tampa, Florida -- It's an art finding the perfect dress for 11-year-old Antonia Gurley.

"Too wedding-y," she says about one gown. Then, she expresses a distinctly different reaction about the next dress on the rack.

"This is like a queen of prom!" she squeals. "The straps are covered in bling." And choosing that gown would match her partially purple hair.

She'll pose like a model before even trying the dresses on. She radiates with excitement over choosing a tiara because, she says, "It's going to make me look like a princess."
