Miss Alabama Chandler Champion showed off her competition wardrobe to AL.com before leaving for the 2014 Miss America pageant. The highlight of her wardrobe is a houndstooth dress sporting the Alabama National Championship emblem on the back. The Ann Northington-designed outfit will be worn during the "Show Us Your Shoes Parade" on Sept. 14. “With Chandler being a University of Alabama student and the university being the national champs for three years, we chose to do national champs,” she said.
