The Miss Nepal 2007 went to [[Sitashma Chand]], who presently hails from the city of Lalitpur.
Several fashion designers presented their designs through the contestants. The main attraction of the dresses were the nice and beautiful modification of Nepal's ethnic dresses. Designers were from INIFD, NEFT, Lakhotia and some boutiques.
Designs from INIFD (International Institute of Fashion Design)
were the best among all others designs. The contestants loved the designs and complimented them.
Designer '''Kriti Rana's''' design for the ''''[[Lepcha]]'''' dress (for contestant no. 14) was a bit different and distinct. The combination of the colours white and blue made a difference.
